How good are those collapsible bowls. I have one I keep in my camper trailer. They are brilliant.
 
Pre-shave:- Cold Shower
Bowl/Scuttle:- Captain's Choice
Brush:- Paladin Cleo 26/52mm Bulb in Cobalt
Soap/Cream:- Stirling Soap Co ~ Pumpkin Spice
Razor/Blade:- Blackland Vector SB Matted Finished / Feather Pro Super #1
Post/After-shave:- T.N. Dickinson Witch Hazel Astringent mixed into the 240ml bottle with Invite E High Potency Pure Oil (10 drops), Natural Plant Glycerin (20) & Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic (5)
Fragrance:- Tommy Hilfiger for Men

WOW! The Feather Pro Super has given me a bit more blade feel during the shave, not too much reaching toward the Blackbird Standard base plate and this feels like a Karve C or D base plate.

Has anybody tried their Feather Pro Super with the Vector during the shaves, and how does it feel? feedback please.

Yeah, I used the Super all the time when I first got my Vector, before I tried the Proline or PINK blades. I liked it a lot at the time. I might just give it another go. :unsure: Thanks for reminding me (y)

FYI the Proline blade is the same size dimensions as the Feather Pro only, Super has more blade exposure.

Yeah, I remember. I was never very impressed with the ordinary Feather Pro, but the Super was my go-to before I finally settled on the Proline to buy in bulk.

The Dead Sea soap and splash

I def have a problem. Wasnt going to shave as my routine is now anywhere between 2-4 days (occasionally a week) between shaves and considering I had an ultra smooth BBS from the BB last night I swore this shave I would only do two passes, one WTG and one ATG, just for the pleasure of the shave....

.....well, after the second pass i totally changed course and went ATG. No worries with the shave, was smooth and comfy and left no issues but I just cant bring myself to a non ATG shave

@Gargravarr - I went throught the same process and settled on the Schick Proline. Which reminds me - might be time to dig out my SE.
