Brush Yaqi 26mm Lucky Dice Tuxedo
Razor Shavette
Blade Tatra Platinum 1st

Excellent lather from the soap. Good almond scent and slickness! Truly underrated soap...
Shavette paired with the blade was good. Smooth and comfortable for 3passes. SAS/CCS result with no issues. Not bad at all since the last shavette use has been awhile. Excellent post & aftershaves. Rating 9/10

This injector razor provided a DFS shave at the highest setting.
I probably need to use it again to test my technique with this one as it seems to be on the mild side of efficiency for my beard.
I think this one would be a very good shaver to use for a beginner as one would have to work hard to get irritation.

Brush: Alpha T-400 24mm Silvertip
Razor: Rocca V4 R94
Blade: Platinum (1)
Pre: Shower
Soap: MWF
Post: TSW After Balm

Such an enjoyable shave with this setup. First shave with the Platinum blade in the Rocca and very smooth & efficient. My third favourite blade I've tested so far but will it last past 5 shaves...?
Always a pleasure using MWF and the T-400 is a great brush but the knot requires some effort as its just not as dense as I'm used to. Very similar to a plissoft synthetic that feels nice and gets the job done with patience.
Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!
