Sublime shave just like yesterday's, but with a different picture... :smug:

Don't be surprised if I recycle this image in the future, I quite like it, even if it isn't anywhere near the studio quality we see from @lu20vt or @klinker (to name but two)...
 
No point taking a picture of my travel kit, nothing new there.

Location for my shave this morning -

Commodore class cabin on the MS Seaways Princess, from Amsterdam to Newcastle-on-Tyne. In a former life this was the original Spirit of Tasmania!

Great view after the shave -

I was just thinking while I was looking at this pic, that it looked very familiar. Now I know why.

Interesting, I have a Speed Razor but I've never used it as I haven't got the blades. I have heard people use an old blade and liquid weld as an adapter but yours looks much better. Where does one find a Ian Ligocki Adapter ? and how is the shave?

When I first saw the cabins of the current Spirit of Tasmania I and II, I was struck by a feeling of deja vu, having travelled many times on Greek ferries, and wasn't in the least surprised to see some of the notices were still in Greek... :D

A wonderful razor. Smooth and very efficient. Soap wasn't too bad but I do have some aftershave irritation. Something I haven't had for years. The lather though, was fantastic.
The horse hair brush also worked well but can end up knotted if you aren't careful.

The shave was wonderful. against the grain I had a few problems on the chin but that could be compensated for by changing the angle.

Just google for "Enders Speed Razor Ian Ligocki"

If you have a 3D-Printer just look here: https://razors.page/Enders/#solution

I'm glad to hear you got a good shave.
Looks like those brass adapters are all sold out unfortunately.
Thanks for the other link too. They seem to say 3D printing is a dead end. Great to see that site again as it has loads of great info, I particularly like the ASR timeline. The last time I looked I thought it had disappeared.
