Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Schick Proline
Post-shave: Stirling Bergamot Lavender/TND witch hazel (30:70), homebrew moisturiser, Oxford & Cambridge cologne

The Vector is out of purgatory!

Yep, it has been for a few weeks. During my spell of infatuation with the WR4 and, more recently, La Faulx, I had forgotten just how good the Vector is. At one point, I even offered to let it go to another member here, but maybe my price was too high, as he never took me up on it. I'm glad he didn't, it delivers a glorious shave, and I'm keeping it.

With the La Faulx and Vestige it’s certainly got top stablemates? YMMV but I know I’m right

Shave; Very pleasant 2 pass n touch up shave today for nice BBS, the razor was superb smooth and efficient and paired with the SV, no issues, not a lot on Forums re the Carbon but excluding my Iwasaki Kamisori, it could/may be by No 1 razor? Mmh not sure if there’s such a thing though?
