Blade: Perma-Sharp (4th use)

Razor: Parker Variant (restored by Delta Echo)

Blade: Perma-Sharp (3rd use)

Brush: West Coast Shaving Black Beacon Synthetic 

Soap: L&L Grooming Bandwagon 

Aftershave: L&L Grooming Bandwagon

• Amazing consistency and after an approximate 30 to 40 second load I had plenty for three passes. 

• Unfortunately this particular L&L soap is not mine, but I am giving it whirl before sending it across the pond to it's proper owner.

Razor: Blackbird (polished, open comb)

Blade: Perma-Sharp (2nd use)

Brush: Yaqi Synthetic 

Soap: WSP Black Amber Vanille 

Aftershave: WSP Black Amber Vanille

• Efficient, near BBS shave. The Blackbird has always been one of my more consistent razors. Perfect pairing between it and the Perma-Sharp blade. 

• The brush is a great value, and I am always impressed by their handles. Be forewarned the knots are stiff with a lot of backbone.
