Soap Arko Stick
Brush Yaqi 24mm Ruby Tuxedo
Razor Red Imp 132
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + HA + Cella Milano Splash.
Just always reliable performance from this soap. Pleasant scent, gorgeously creamy and slick lather easily whip-up...
This inaugural shave with the razor shows why eBay shave-ready razors are most of the time incorrect...to me as least. After barely 1 pass, change to ZY430 to complete 3passes for a sas+ result. Red Imp has a date with an Ozuku soon.
Sat 7 SR SOTD
Soap Stirling Iced Pineapple
Brush Yaqi 24mm Mojito
Razor Dorko Solingen 4th
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel Lemon Chill + HA + Proraso Green Splash
Awesome lather from the soap. Love the scent, icy sensation & most of all, the creamy & slick lather...
Shave with this razor was enjoyable. I am liking very much the weighty feel of this near wedge razor. Edge feels smooth and comfortable but still unable to get the targeted efficiency. 3passes without any issues for a ccs to sas result. Aftershaves were awesome too.

Razor Dorko Solingen Near Wedge
Put the razor through the pasted balsa strop progression yesterday night. Ohhhh yeah...the edge was noticeably keen & sharper compared to yesterday. Still felt smooth and comfortable in 3passes but somehow the keen edge causes red irritation below the jawline & neck. No cuts nor weepers though...really interesting.

Razor Torrey 5/8 Wedgie
This shave with the small razor was surprisingly and unexpectedly great!! Having just put the razor through the pasted balsa progression exactly as per advice...wow...the edge was keen yet smooth and very comfortably maneuverable, especially around the lips area. 3passes for a between bbs/dfs/ccs finish. Finally, an efficient result with an SR! I really enjoyed using this Torrey!!

Soap Arko Stick
Brush Yaqi 26mm Rainbow
Razor Ribbon 1000 1st Use
Aftershave Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Aqua Velva Musk
The razor is a beauty! The shave was good and smooth in 3 passes but somehow my techniques didn't do the razor any justice. Managed a sas finished. The edge felt smooth and it is nicely finished on an Ozuku by Russell. Gotta use this more.

Brush BOTI 26mm Fan Silvertip
Razor P Hospital Le Grelot Thiers 1st Use
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + B&M Cheshire AS Balm
This razor was a surprise from a member in another forum The razor felt really nice in hand and the edge was a wow...very comfortable and surprisingly smooth shave even when I was in a hurry...managed 3passes for satisfactory sas results. A small weeper on the neck because of the haste. I was amazed at how good & easy it felt while maneuvering under the neck...love these vintage razors, wonder what year it was made?

Soap Wholly Kaw Man from Mayfair
Brush Zenith 28mm Scrubby B14 Boar
Razor Dorko Solingen 7/8 Near Wedge
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Lemon Chill + Reuzel Wood & Spice
I really like this soap for the nice scent and lovely rich creamy and slick lather...
This shave with the razor after going thru a 2nd pasted balsa stropping was so much better...the edge was keen and yet very smooth. Managed 3passes without any weepers nor irritation for a better efficiency ccs result. It's nice being able to enjoy and get more from this razor.
