Razor Gillette New SC
Blade Gillette 7 O'clock SharpEdge 1st
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Hyaluronic + PAA Cavendish
My undisputed number 1 shave soap! Super aromatic sweet pipe scent...good strength too. The lather was very creamy and slick too...awesome!
The shave with razor paired with the blade was very good. Previous initial use with this blade was not so good but this time it was crisply sharp, very smooth, and comfortable for 3passes without any issues for a mostly bbs finish. Superb aftershaves especially with the matching Cavendish.

Another BBS shave with the Wilkinson SE razor, but it felt like more strokes were required for it. And maybe I'm just set in my ways, but even though the razor's light weight is easier for me to manage with my progressive arm weakness and tremor, I still miss the feel of a DE razor's weight in my hand. The software was wonderful.
