Though I am not on Social media, I have found out that Matt @120inna55 has passed away.So sad that someone who has delighted us all with Photographs and observations has passed away at such a young age. I am sure that some of you may be in contact with his family, and would hope that they have added condolences on behalf of all Forum members wherever they reside.

Wed 9th June The Grosvenor - 404 mixed Blues Shaving soap ES Claymore V1-Bulldog handle Kai CT Protouch MG [ 11 ] Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion. I have had Eleven Shaves with this Razor/Blade combo with a variety of inexpensive soaps, that I know provide a decent lather. Though I had to keep replenishing the Blues soap , it still helped me get another most comfortable Shave with a rather good all round finish. I am not sure how the blade would fare if rushed, but it works well if slow deliberate strokes are used.

Fri 11th June Jayaruh Syn. No67 Tabac soap ES Claymore V1- Ikon Bull Dog handle Kai CT Protouch MG [ 12 ] Tabac A/S Lotion Despite tackling Two Days growth and Twelve outings on the Clock this Razor /Blade combo had no problems delivering an extremely close all round finish. I am totally won over by this guarded blade which has transformed the performance of the Claymore. I only wish I had the opportunity to try it out in some Razors I have passed on , such as a King Cobra and Mongoose.
Very nice shave with my beloved Valet Auto Strop, Fine Accoutrements Italian Citrus soap followed by a generous splash of Clubman Classic:

Sat 12th June Stirling Syn.26mm OSP Bay Rum Yaqi Raster V2-Ikon B/Dog handle Kai CT Protouch MG [ 4 ] Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion. Am continuing to trial the Kai guarded blade but this time in the Yaqi Raster. A nice close Shave, but I think that the Shave with one in my Claymore is just that bit smoother.
