Pre : Nice relaxing bath with salts & beard oil
Razor : The "Parthenon" v2 (setting#3) - Still no idea why folks bagged on this QShave venture with WieShie, gives a very nice shave I think and I've never had it get clogged.
Blade : Israeli Red (#2)
Brush : My pure Badger Jarrah - smell has gone already and I'm liking this brush ,more and more. Soft as but still gives a little scritch and holds water well.
Soap : Mondial - Bergamotto Neroli - love the scent of this
Post : Beard/face conditioner AS : traditional Bay Rum

Soap: Pb Spiced Orange
Brush: 20mm Master Badger
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Feather Pro Super (1)
Vector is awesome!!
This was worth the wait. I loaded the Vector with the most aggressive AC blade as I heard the Vector is quite mild. The efficiency was very satisfying and still very smooth and as others have reported, the razor is very nimble. I did score a couple of weepers so I will try the Kai Captain mild and the Schick P30 blades.

WWB + Maggard SHD 24mm
Merkur 34c
Feather (1)
DG Darkfall (Milksteak)
NO Two Kings splash
Noir by Tom Ford (sample only)

Very close 3 pass shave with a new Feather blade. I got a lot of stinging from the splash, but no weepers or irritation. This soap base really is incredible. Happy shaves!
