First run with the new Squadron Soap LE (or 'Limited Run' as @SchoolForAnts actually describes it). Of course the performance is top notch - so what about the scent? Classic, not overpowering, subtle but noticeable. Very nice work Andy!

Soap: Squadron Scramble
Brush: 20mm Master Badger
Razor: Muhle R41 Twist
Blade: Ladas (1)
Post: Jojoba Oil
AS: Group Captains Blend
Lovely combo. Four passes with the Ladas @alfredus and I'm seeing why you chose these to buy 1000. @Maladroit ,maybe you just need to play around with blade selection with the R41. There's lot's to try but the Dorco ST301 are nice (cheap also), maybe try the Nacet.

Paradigm SE thoughts on second run?

Hey mate. Well it's the only razor I've used since it arrived and i don't see that changing until the Vector turns up, it's that good. It gives me a extremely close, efficient and smooth shave with not even a hint of irritation. It's comfortable to hold and has a perfect weight. The loading of the blade is unique and very easy. I've read some ppl say it's the best razor on the planet and at this stage I'd have to agree. It will be interesting to compare it to the Vector when it arrives.

Date: 08 December 2018

Pre-shave:- Cold Water straight from the tap
Brush:- Maseto 2 Band Finest Badger Black 30/54mm knot
Soap/Cream:- Route 66 ~ Rum Runner
Bowl/Scuttle:- Captain's Choice
Razor/Blade:- Wilkinson Sword Classic TTO / Vintage NOS England Wilkinson Sword #2
Post-shave:- Thayers Witch Hazel & Tea Tree Oil / Lucky Tiger Aftershave & Face Tonic
Fragrance:- Dolce&Gabbana Pour Homme

The new Wilkinson Sword Classic TTO is slightly more aggressive than the Vintage Gillette Red Tip, I thought the Wilkinson Sword Classic TTO would be very mild than the Vintage Gillette Red Tip see youtube below.

Lol... yeah kinda forced me to consider replacing the 100mm beast Timeless one with a shorter more nimble UFO or something. Was a really nice shave.
