Razor: Feather AS-D2
Blade(s): Polsilver (2)
Brush: TF Lava Demon 26mm
Soap/Cream: SS "Ad Astra"
Post: Thayers Medicated

"Ad Astra was the choice this morning. Only "Ace" to go tomorrow morning as I do not have "Dutch Resistance". The Ad Astra scent stays with me a lot longer than "Scramble" or "The Warden". A great lather from start to finish with plenty more available in the shaving bowl.

Pre-Shave: @khun_diddy Olive Oil Soap, cold water
Razor: Timeless 0.68 Scalloped SS Jürgen Hempel Ti kindly loaned by @Korbz
Blade: Voskhod (2)
Brush: Hucklaration
Lather: Mike's Bay Rum
Post-Shave: Alum, Stirling Bay Laurel Witch Hazel, Australian Emu Oil​

What a difference a handle can make - the razor felt agile and zipped around effortlessly - super close, yet very smooth shave with a very happy face afterwards.

Loving this brush more and more - cloud soft, yet a lather machine. If I would imagine a perfect knot - this one would be pretty close and the proof is the wonderful Mike's lather.

I hope you all have a terrific Thursday (y)

First time with a true kamisori, not a bad shave but not great, need to work on my usage of this little guy.

Feather

Razor: Gillette Flare Red Tip / Gillette Fat Boy (5)
Blade(s): Polsilver (1)
Brush: TF Lava Demon 26mm
Soap/Cream: SS "Ace"
Post: Thayers Medicated

Started out with the Red Tip but quickly changed to Fat Boy. It was too aggressive for the time I had to shave and already had three weepers by first pass.

Like all Squadron Soaps, Ace lathered up beautifully and there was plenty of it. Very nice scent, but not a great shave!
 
Shower

I can't believe this blade is still giving me 3 pass BBS shaves but it is! I am developing a new appreciation for this brush...
