Razor: Merkur 37C
Blade: Gillette Nacet (7)
Soap: RR xXx
Post: Thayer Aloe & Lemon + Suavecito Menthol Creme

My last 3 shaves with this setup and it's safe to say the 37C is my favourite - great size, smooth, efficient and ease of use. The Nacet feels rough in the X3 & Maggard but comfortable in the 37C. Not sure whether I will last the remainder of this month with the one blade but I'll give it a go! Happy shaves :)
 
KarveD w/Polsilver
Yaqi all metal silvertip
Pbgoose - Brazilian Bay Thyme
Gaia ASB

Back to the Karve with D plate and it was such an effortless BBS!

I'll likely receive my GC.84 so I'm looking forward to comparing that to the Karve.
The Rockwells are still awesome razors and I'll never get rid of them but the Karve has taken the #1 position.

My new Yaqi silvertip was a delight to use! Absolutely beautiful knot!! The metal handle is heavy but ergonomic and the satin finish looks awesome!

Finished the last of this pbgoose sample. I'll miss it!
I'll load a Stirling sample in this bowl.

Is there a specific set up you like the Spoilers in?

Nope - I tend to just use blades as blades - although some combos WORK and some don't

Do you have enough of a stash of Spoilers?

I have a few :ROFLMAO:

Do you predominately have Aussie Spoilers?

I have some of these too - but the US mainly now I think

Pre-shave: Proraso Green Tea & Oatmeal Pre/Post cream
Brush: Vie Long 13061B
Soap/Cream: Derby
Razor: Supply
Blade: Chick (1)
Post-shave: Alum block, Proraso liquid after shave cream, Myrsol Formula C
Hair Tonic: Eau de Quinine

The supply turned up in the mail today so I had to use it. I got one of the blemished razors which offers a $30 saving and in the case of the razor I received the blemish is very small and on the underside of the handle. First impression is very good with the only (minor) gripe so far that it is a touch on the heavy side. But very solid and very well made.

I really like the Vie Long horse hair brushes and the 13061B is terrific.

Or keep your spreadsheet for an emergency backup toilet paper, only and IF, you needed to start another spreadsheet again from scratch.

That way you've got a clean healthy mind and a clean bum.
