Pre-1924 T.R. Cadman (Sheffield) Bengall full hollow ⅝ with the edge finished and maintained on diamond pasted balsa. I have four of these SRs to try and then decide on which three to sell. I need to get some cash in to help replenish my finances after being coerced by @LesC into buying a matching set of six Yamamasa kamisori.

I'm really pleased that I took this unobtainium Yardley stick with me on this trip, it's been really sublime. That glass jar has preserved the scent almost perfectly.

The Morning Shave.
The Gillette Minora Stainless blade was in my 1964 Gillette Slim Adjustable today.
Not much I can keep saying about the Gillette Minora, this blade won’t give up. Shave 10, and still super smooth with no tug or irritation.
I was interested to try the Gillette Pure shaving cream, I picked this up in a discount shop for $3.50 Aus.
The cream has almost no scent, very light floral. I didn’t need much however this cream does need a decent amount of water to create volume, and a couple of minutes whip in the bowl to create a full dense rich lather.
Not sure how this will perform for a face latherer. It is very soft probably suited to sensitive skin.
Overall, a good product, very affordable. If you like unscented creams this should be on your list.
- Razor Gillette Slim Adjustable (5) J4
- Blade Gillette Minora Stainless (10)
- Pre-Shave Tricare Goats Milk
- Brush Synthetic
- Cream Gillette Pure
- Post Shave Thayers Witch Hazel - Unscented
- Aftershave Brut Splash
- Balm Nivea – Sensitive Pro - Post Shave Balm

SOTD – Wed.28AUG2024
Shave Result: First shave with my new TroyCraft brush, a beauty from the current Fathers Day special, brush produced a good lather and the knot will get better after a few shaves of "loosening" up. Very happy with the lather performance of the 2024 edition of MWF. The Shield AC2 is a little more aggressive than I normally use but with Proguard blade I achieved a nice smooth & close near BBS, with just a few weepers.
The Gear:
- Pre Shave: Tri-Care Goats Milk & Glycerine Soap (from ALDI) [A]
- Brush: TroyCraft “Nebula” with Yaqi 24/48 Plissoft knot [A]
- Soap: Mitchell’s Wool Fat (MWF), 2024 recipe (Batch 9624)
- Bowl: Whispers From The Woods [A]
- Razor: Shield Avenger Ti AC2 & SE handle (49gm with blade; blade gap of 1.15mm and 0.12mm exposure)
- Blade: Feather AC Proguard, made in Japan (2)
- Astringent: Jennai Aloe Vera Gel with Witch Hazel & Vitamin E [A]
- Balm: G&M Australian Creams - Emu Oil MkII [A]
- After Shave: Poraso Sandalwood (Red) AS Lotion
- Moisturiser: MooGoo Natural Full Cream - Hydrate [A]

- Razor Gillette Fat Handle Tech(British)
- Blade Vidyut Super-Max Platinum(India)
- Pre-Shave Hot Shower
- Brush B&B Synthetic
- Soap Proraso E/M
- Aftershave Proraso E/M
Great shave tonight from the Gillette fat handled tech the razor is circa 1940 and once widely available, it has more weight to it than the US fat handle tech.
Which gives the razor more balanced feel in the hand. (Gb 51g) (US 47g) with noticeable more head weight on my skin.
The super Max platinum blades purchased online about 15 years ago gave a good shave with little effort 1 pass WTG 1 ATG Finished.
I found the Proraso eucalyptus menthol soap left my skin feeling really refreshed.
I think the Proraso eucalyptus menthol Aftershave was a bit of an overkill.
As the feeling of freshness a bit long.
All I know its a great combination.
Cheers all.
