Shameless re-post of previous photo, as I'm still at the Mine site Camp with the same line-up.
It has been interesting face-lathering for a few days - I'm finding the De Vergulde Hand soap is a little thirsty, so need to take the time to get the lather consistency correct.
Pretty happy with the shaves I'm getting.

Soap: Pb Fantome de Menthol
Brush: Omega Italian Boar 21762
Razor: J A Henckels 472
Post: Jojoba Oil
Better performing soap today with the Fantome de Menthol. Scent is more rounded now with some time, (Patchouli, Black pepper, Lime & Spearmint) the Spearmint was dominating initially. Nice protection and slickness. I think Bentonite provides more benefit than Kaolin.
Was just going through the paperwork for the TI I recently purchased and noticed a serious typo..
'Putting at rest your razor every other day allows it to get its sharpness back, hence the benefit of owning two razors.'
I think they meant to say 'twenty' two or 'thirty' two or who knows....fill in the blank.

Pre-shave:- Cold Water straight from the tap
Brush:- Stirling Finest Badger 26/54mm knot
Soap/Cream:- Mitchell's Wool Fat 9x ----> (use the puck like a stick shaving on your face and the lather just explode not too airy just thick & slick)
Razor:- GEM Micromatic Bullet Tip
Blade:- GEM Personna SS PTFE Coated #9
Post-shave:- Thayers Witch Hazel / Lucky Tiger Aftershave & Face Tonic
Fragrance:- Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male

I can feel the GEM blade is coming to the end of finish line, I believe this blade can sqeeze one more to a total of 10 shaves per blade using the bullet tip and that is it.

I'm very please using the vintage GEM Micromatic Bullet Tip and this was my very first GEM single edge razor in chrome plating, which has been an amazing experiences throughout my shaves and I really enjoy it. I'm looking forward to used the GEM Micromatic open comb next, also the GEM Micromatic Clog-Pruf coming soon by via Internationl Postage, this is going to be a very interesting shaving experience using the GEM Micromatic open comb and the Clog-Pruf.

Also I received an amazing reply from my own mother and my girlfriend both saying that my face looks younger and moisturising like a completely bright fresh clean smooth face like a smooth

, I told them I've been using Mitchell's Wool Fat shaving soap for nearly a week and I also told them I didn't used any moisturising cream. They both went completely gob-smack and didn't this was a shaving soap, what else can I tell you guys because you can't beat the FAT!! you MUST have the FAT!! in your den.
