Soap Lothur Dave
Brush Yaqi 24mm Robin Clear Handle
Razor Yaqi DLC
Blade Persona X Series 5th
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Lothur Dave Splash + Captain's Choice Venture Balm
Finally, whipped up the best lather out of this soap so far! Richly creamy and very slick! The scent is pleasant & light!
My best cheap non-adjustable DE! Today, paired with this surprisingly good blade gave me one of the best shaves! Based on initial use, I never thought this blade can go so far but it was unbelievably crisp, smooth, and efficient! 3passes without any issues, I get one of the best bbs finishes I've ever had in a long time! The aftershaves were just terrific!

Good mornign Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
So what started out as a great morning took a tragic turn when my Blackland Era slipped out of my hand while shaving. The attachment bolt in the cap snapped and the razor fell apart..
I contacted Blackland to see how I can order a replacement (no caps showing on their site). It was a great shave up until then. Went with Noble Otter's "Lonestar" soap which provided a super slick and cushioning base. Three passes and I finished with a splash of "Timberline" after shave and a spray of Tom Ford "Beau de Jour".
Maybe I'll hear back from Blackland soon.

Bummer about the Era…hope you get a helpful response back from Shane, other that “buy another”
At least you smell good!
No, I had finished. I was actually wiping the razor off when it slipped. Sorry for the confusion.
