How did she go?

Balance, geometry, the steel, all exceptional. The actual edge was not quite there, so I'll redo it in the next day or so. Not a big deal, but I was looking forward to shaving with one of his better edges.

Pre-shave; Warm shower, face rinse with MWF bar soap.
Brush; TroyCraft, ‘’Gold n Jar’’ Jarrah hardwood and pure Gold flake resin handle, highly polished with a CA finish and a 26mm (x TF), 2 band Finest Badger knot (Brush No 4)
Soap; Eufros, Lima-Spices. One of 3 Eufros samples (Argos & Gea also) very kindly sent to me by @silverlifter from NZ, which was unexpected and very much appreciated. Lima-Spices Shave soap and Aftershave balm now ordered from Manuel. (Mug mixed I normally face lather only)
Razor; Gem, Micromatic Open Comb (MMOC) in a Maroon Streamline Case dates it made in 1937.
Blade; Personna, GEM PTFE coated.
Post-shave; @SpeedyPC 500mls, Wahl Traditional Bay Rum 500mls, Moroccan Argan Oil 100mls, Bay Essential Oil 25mls and Vit E 5mls (Mixed together) aftershave/moisturiser splash!! ‘’Superb’’
The MMOC I have found so far is slightly more efficient than the Streamline but not quite as aggresive, on looks alone the Streamline wins!!

That lather is like a punch in the face with a fistful of fresh limes: I love it! Glad you liked it enough to jump on the Eufros train.

For some unknown reason, I have been blocked from "Postimages" for violating their T&C's. Waiting to hear back from them!

I got blocked on Christmas Eve. No warning. No explanation. Not expecting to hear anything from them, and even if I did I'd never trust them again.

Maybe I should take the time to read their T&Cs. Maybe the presence of a sharp object is promoting international terrorism or something. So far, I've been using Postimages as long as I've been a member here.
If they ever do that to me, those pics will be gone forever, since I don't bother keeping the originals, but I take the position that when I'm gone, I have no backup plan for that either. Which is fine by me.
