Brush: Omega 24mm
Head: Omnishaver
Razor: iKon X3 + OSS handle
Blade: Gillette Nacet (11)
Soap: RR xXx
Post: Thayer Aloe & Lemon + TSW balm

An enjoyable DFS with the X3. Enjoying the smoothness on the blade - no tugging but still efficient enough to give a satisfactory shave. Almost out of the xXx soap which is grand as it's seen me through almost 18 months :) Happy shaves!

First time out using one of these Aussie Spoilers thanks to @EJ_DE98. First thought was a very nice shave, but probably not much different to a standard current production Silver Blue or platinum blade. Will know more after a few more shaves how it holds up against the US made version.
 
Pre-shave: Hot shower
Brush: Vintage butterscotch Simpson shaving brush
Soap/Cream: The one, the only, ARKO! shaving soap
Razor: Vintage NEW head (replated) on TSW Bren handle
Blade: Vintage NOS Gillette Super Stainless (3)
Post-shave: TSW After Balm / Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve
Fragrance: N/A

Sometimes you forget how good products are when you don't use them regularly!

The After Balm was sensational, soothing, with a hint of fragrance but not enough to interfere and not oily. Following with the Special Reserve was a no sting just gentle caressing experience and the Special Reserve requires no further fragrance addition!

What an awesome shave! Very enjoyable experience with my favorite brush and the killer CRSW soap. Loved it!!

The result was BBS but with a little bit of extra work as the black ninja isn't quite as sharp as the Polsilver, but man is it smooooooth!!

@Rabid Badger
This brush is 6 years old and still probably my favorite!
Let's see if I can get it to 20 years :)
