Soap Stirling Orange Chill
Brush Yaqi 26mm Orange Black Synthetic
Razor ZY430
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + TGS Orange Empire
Very nice lather qualities from the soap. Good scent, cooling sensation, and a super-rich, creamy slick lather...
This shave with the razor was enjoyable. The edge was refreshed on full balsa pasted progression and stropped on buffalo leather. Smooth and comfortable enough in 3passes without any issues managing a dfs/ccs result. The aftershaves were great!

Pre-shave: None
Lather: La Toja Shave Stick
Brush: Jaguar 771 Boar
Razor: Fine Marvel
Blade: Tatra Platinum (1)
Post-shave: Omega Alum Stick and HC&C White Star balm with Barbershop fragrance drops
The Marvel razor by Fine is one that I looked at over and over but there was always another razor that drew my attention instead. There was just something about it that made me think that it would give a great shave. It also doesn't hurt that it vaguely resembles a Star Trek shuttlecraft. I finally saw a used one for a price I couldn't pass on so now I finally get to try it. It turns out I was correct about the shave quality. I found it incredibly smooth. Those huge safety bars do their job perfectly, letting the very edge of the blade reach the face but keeping my skin from pinching or creasing.
The Jaguar 771 boar is a new addition and I have only lathered it a few times. Not surprisingly for such a huge boar knot, it is a lather hog. I think "Big Boar" will improve as the knot breaks in, at least I hope it does. Using a shave stick seemed like the easiest thing to do so I went with the La Toja. It held up pretty well to the brush and provided its usual slickness and cushion.
I ended up with a smooth, irritation-free BBS result. 9.9/10. Happy shaves all!

Soap Barrister & Mann Vespers
Brush Yaqi 22mm Joy Butterscotch
Razor Dorko Solingen 43 Near Wedge
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Lemon Chill + B&M Vespers Balm
Just beautiful, this soap! The lovely scented lather is just impeccably creamy and very slick.
This shave with one of my best SRs was very enjoyable. This razor's jnat edge after being stropped on the buffalo
leather... wow, feels extra smooth & comfortable...nice! 3passes for a mixed bbs/dfs/ccs results. My right neck to jawline is the area I am still unable to clear cleanly. The aftershaves were great!
