Do you need a rope to get you out of that expense rabbit hole your in?27 August (SR shave No. 1713)
Pre-1924 T.R. Cadman (Sheffield) Bengall full hollow ⅝ with the edge finished and maintained on diamond pasted balsa. I have four of these SRs to try and then decide on which three to sell. I need to get some cash in to help replenish my finances after being coerced by @LesC into buying a matching set of six Yamamasa kamisori.

The Morning Shave.
The Gillette Minora Stainless blade was in my 1964 Gillette Slim Adjustable today.
Not much I can keep saying about the Gillette Minora, this blade won’t give up. Shave 10, and still super smooth with no tug or irritation.
I was interested to try the Gillette Pure shaving cream, I picked this up in a discount shop for $3.50 Aus.
The cream has almost no scent, very light floral. I didn’t need much however this cream does need a decent amount of water to create volume, and a couple of minutes whip in the bowl to create a full dense rich lather.
Not sure how this will perform for a face latherer. It is very soft probably suited to sensitive skin.
Overall, a good product, very affordable. If you like unscented creams this should be on your list.
Brilliant post mate. Great info on picture.SOTD – Wed.28AUG2024
Shave Result: First shave with my new TroyCraft brush, a beauty from the current Fathers Day special, brush produced a good lather and the knot will get better after a few shaves of "loosening" up. Very happy with the lather performance of the 2024 edition of MWF. The Shield AC2 is a little more aggressive than I normally use but with Proguard blade I achieved a nice smooth & close near BBS, with just a few weepers.
