No pics today, but I went back to the Cobra Classic and got a great shave with Vitos Super coconut and Semogue 1305 (is that right Mel?) brush.
Yes!!!
Outstanding shave this morning!

I tried a Wilkinson Sword blade today. It was okay, but not great. I'd rank it kind of mid-pack.

About the same results I had today using a, Lord for the 1st time in a vintage open comb Gillette...I give it a six.
Congrats to "npsbg" on his 1,000th post!

Wonderful shave today, after a workout at the gym:
Razor: schick injector adjustable
Blade: Schick
Soap: Derby shave stick
Brush: Derby boar
No witch hazel because I didn't have any there, just a shower then Razorock aftershave wax.
Glorious shave!
@Warhawk - Mel. It pains me to say it given the price difference, but the Injector mentioned above shaves easily as well as the Cobra... -

Hi Brian: Wow...glad that you had a great shave with the Schick Injector. I am still glad that you decided to keep the Cobra Classic. That is probably the best looking razor on the planet. I was fortunate to participate in the CC Tour in BadgerandBlade and I enjoyed my week with that razor. It is a great performing razor.

Razor: Merkur 37C
Blade: Feather
Soap: Mystic Water Soap (Bay Rum)
Brush: Semogue 620
I had an outstanding BBS face & dome shave today. It has been awhile since I used the Mystic Water Soap. The Mystic Water Shave Soap (Bay Rum) is an incredible shave soap that I highly recommend. It gives great lather and protection and leaves the skin feeling good. Michelle of Mystic Water Soap gives great customer service .

Hi Mel,
the horsehair isn't one of my favourites. Either it takes a really, really long time to break in, or it's just always going to be a bit scratchy compared to my boar brushes. -

I may have been too hasty in my review go the Wilkinson Sword blades. I've been using one for a few days now and have come to like it. It seems to be pretty forgiving if I get a little too quick with my shaving.

They are my go to blade for a good shave. -

Razor: Weber ARC w/ Bulldog Handle
Blade: Super Max Titanium
Soap: Mystic Water Shave Soap (Bay Rum)
Brush: Semogue 620
I skipped my face shave today & I had a great BBS head shave with my Weber razor. It has been awhile since I used the Super Max Titanium blade. Thanks to our own Waine.... I was able to get the Super Max Titanium blades from a blade exchange several months ago. I am glad that I revisited these blades. The Super Max Titanium blades do not get enough love in the wet shaving community. These blades are sharp, smooth. and unforgiving. I highly recommend them.

Highjacking the thread again to go OT:
Which safety razor is a good starter?
I'm talking about a keeper, without need to upgrade later!
It can cost a little more too as long as it's really worth it...Christmas coming up and all!
Thx,

Merkurs are very good and won't set you back too much.
