Sun 18 SR Shave-Off SOTD
Soap B&M Cheshire
Brush Yaqi 26mm Rainbow
Razor 1 ZY430 Left Side
Razor 2 GD 208 Right Side
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Hyaluronic + B&M Cheshire AS Balm
This is one of my favorite soaps and scent! The performance is outstanding. Nice aromatic scent with a creamy and slick lather...
Today's shave-off was after assembling my 3 diamond pasted balsa strop accordingly to this forum method. The ZY430 was after the 3rd shave on a jnat edge while the GD 208 was supposed to be shave-ready from a vendor in Canada.
Both SRs was given the same laps on the 3 balsa strop then leather and wow...I finally know what's TTT...and it was between TTT-3 to TTT-4 (all according to a site where I found better with pictorials guidance)
After 3passes, my initial (inexperience) feel was the edge on both SRs is noticeably sharper & crispier but still as smooth but...more bite to it. The GD felt better...and the ZY is just a tad behind...not sure if my hand skills play a part. For sure both are sharper...2 weepers on ZY and 1 on GD but a better result...between ccs to as. Great stuff...!!

National Shave Day
Rooney 1/1 Faux Horn Finest (22/45)
Art of Shaving Rose Absolute shaving cream (vintage)
Paradigm 17-4/H&S Black
Wilkinson Sword 'New' (16)
Paco Rabanne aftershave (vintage)
A very refreshing shave on this warm Shave Day morning. It was so relaxing that I almost dropped my favorite razor into the steel bowl in the sink. I wouldn't choose to wear the Paco Rabanne as a fragrance, but it's great for an aftershave.
