Brush Yaqi 26mm Moka Express
Razor ZY430
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Hyaluronic + Clubman Whiskey Woods
Very nice aromatic & delicious scent from this soap! The lather was creamy and slick too...
Shave with this razor was just ok. Although smooth it's not removing many whiskers, especially from the jawline to neck area. Due to time constraints...managed just did 2 passes without any issues for sas--result.

Soap B&M Cheshire
Brush Yaqi 26mm Rainbow
Razor 1 ZY430 Left Side
Razor 2 GD 208 Right Side
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Hyaluronic + B&M Cheshire AS Balm
This is one of my favorite soaps and scent! The performance is outstanding. Nice aromatic scent with a creamy and slick lather...
Today's shave-off was after assembling my 3 diamond pasted balsa strop accordingly to this forum method. The ZY430 was after the 3rd shave on a jnat edge while the GD 208 was supposed to be shave-ready from a vendor in Canada.
Both SRs was given the same laps on the 3 balsa strop then leather and wow...I finally know what's TTT...and it was between TTT-3 to TTT-4 (all according to a site where I found better with pictorials guidance)
After 3passes, my initial (inexperience) feel was the edge on both SRs is noticeably sharper & crispier but still as smooth but...more bite to it. The GD felt better...and the ZY is just a tad behind...not sure if my hand skills play a part. For sure both are sharper...2 weepers on ZY and 1 on GD but a better result...between ccs to as. Great stuff...!!

Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Alum + Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Hyaluronic + Aqua Velva Musk
Another simple & budget soap that excels. Pleasant scent, easy to lather, nicely creamy, and very slick...
This is a shave with the razor after going thru the pasted balsa strop. Still smooth but noticeably sharper. Managed 3passes for sas++ results but with some creepers. My main area to improve is the atg stroke on the neck, it's too tentative...
