Goodwill 160 and 164, both with Charcoal handles, Treet Falcon blades, MDC. I prefer the Old Type based 164 in pretty much every respect, finding it both smoother and more efficient. Neither are efficiency monsters though, touch up dome pass with the Shake Sharp was productive.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning! Wanted to finish up the work week with an appreciation shave. Went with a couple of goodies I won in the appreciation thread drawing. The Victory Shaving Co. "Hell's Wench" smells wonderful. It's a cherry pipe tobacco scent with hints of vanilla. I also detect something of a dry cocoa powder or dark chocolate note in there as well. Maybe it's just some interplay between the cherry and vanilla notes. Whatever it is, it smells delicious and almost pushes the soap into gourmand territory. Also used the brush made from the beautiful @Knothead handle and Silk Smoke synth knot. Finished with a splash of ETHOS "Clean" Skin Food Splash into which I added a couple of drops of the "Vanilla Safi" fragrance blend and a spray of YSL La Nuit De L'Homme" EdT. Wonderful!!

Hope you have a great day. :)

Another excellent soap! The scent is abit mild but nice! The lather is just nicely creamy and slick...
Today's shave with this razor was very good and enjoyable. It was very smooth and comfortable in 3passes without any issues at all and the results are getting better...dfs+, some ccs/sas. Love the razor's feel & heft. Aftershaves were awesome as well!
