Geo F Trumper’s, Coral skin food, pre shave. Tabula Rasa: August (Edicion especial Yourshaving): Shaving soap, EdT & no scent aftershave gel. El Druida, Forzzia Silvertip Extra-Premium 25 mm. Mannos 14, Clase extra, Pablo Fuertes @Airforce custom red acrilic scales.

After watching Dave in KY video on how to use a Durham Duplex with a modern blade I gave it a go. A real fiddle to get the two blades in place, like Dave I only focused on using one edge on which I fitted a Feather Pro Guard, the other edge blade is just a spacer. I include an original Duplex blade in the foto for comparison purposes. It’s quite something and a carpet layer could use it to trim carpets! 
Pisgah soap from Black Mountain Shaving has become a favourite as has its after shave splash so used both today. With some trepidation I got to work and wow, what a great experience. I achieved bbs in two main passes and pick ups, no blood no drama.
Have a great weekend fellas!

Dave, is that a new Semogue 1305?  Is it broken in yet?  How are you liking it?

Recent arrival from the BST so it had some love before. Nce 1st outing with me and see why many speak highly of it. It's a keeper for me and hope the paint doesn't flake as I've seen it is famous for.
