Beautiful three pass shave. I love the combo the Slant makes with a really sharp blade. It just needs to barely touch the skin to remove my flat growing whiskers effortlessly.

Jeeves of Hudson Street - "Turkish Bath"

Based on prior use, I already knew I wasn't a fan of the "Turkish Bath" fragrance.  It's just too powdery for me.  It's not offensive, mind you, but rather it's simply not my style.  This is a testament to the performance of Jeeves' soap that I continue to use it.  Frankly, I have too many soaps.  Regardless of fragrance, Jeeves is not one that will get pushed to the back, but I do intend to replace "Turkish Bath" with "Black Tea" that's currently on the way.  The creaminess and density of the lather is on par with my other favorites that's probably about 5 soap bases.  The post-shave is in my top 3.  The residual slickness, however, may yet be number 1.

I finished with Le Grand Chypre because it's one of my favorites and it counters the Turkish Bath quite well.

The "Streamline" is firmly seated as my all-time favorite shaver.  I've been alternating between a first generation (1930s) and a second generation (1950s), and I've come to the conclusion that the second generation is a skosh more forgiving.  While the first generation weighs a few grams more than the second, I can't tell it in my hand.  This is the consummate shaver in my book. This was a flawless head and face shave.
