ATT S2 + Feather
Wholly Kaw, Project Leather
Simfix synthetic

It seemed like all the cool kids were breaking out their slants, so I felt the need to use my S2. I was not disappointed. I have not used this razor in a while it I was rewarded with a wonderful shave. I would rate this as good as my Charcoal Goods level 2 razors. As for the WK I have nearly finished the tub. Great lather, but the scent is not really for me.​
 
Brush: TF Customs Green Spiral Swirl 27mm Rhodium
Razor: Blackland Dart
Blade: Polsilver SI (3)
Soap: Pb Grapefruit sample
Bowl: Mrs @Nico shave bowl (y)
Pre: Shower

WTG, ATG, Touchups = DFS+++

I was in a super hurry so no pic but still managed a quick and easy pre-work shave this morning. I've had this soap for ages and all I can say is its the poor man's version of Cella; with this one being a hard cube and Cella coming in a tub. Similar scent + performance so no real complaints, plus its from Serbia so win win! :)
The blade paired well with the Dart but trying to shave XTG felt a light rough so I wasn't tempted to chase near BBS and still managed a comfortable shave. I'm enjoying the new brush and find very little difference between this 27mm knot and my 30mm as the Rhodium is equally dense and luxurious on the face.:love: Happy shaves!

I tried the D plate on the Karve for the first time today. My previous razor was a Merkur 34c, so this was easily the most aggressive shave with a DE razor so far. Two passes was enough, no nicks or weepers. I think I still prefer the C plate right now though.

Hi @Razor Burn you may have the wrong soap in SOTD. I didn't think @Pbgoose made soap in cubes that smell like Cella

A super quick and effortless pre-work shave this morning. Love the scent and performance of this soap and was surprised how well the 34C shaved with the Polsilver... Happy shaves!
