Always three passes per shave? and always maintain a very good dense lather slickness throughout my shaves.

Edit:- AND!!! ZERO pressure throughout my shaves and don't shave like a bloody Roadrunner.

A quick no fuss pre-work shave as still smooth from yesterday's effort. Love using this brush as the knot has bloomed well and the scent from the soap is enjoyable! Happy shaves!!!

Pre-shave: Hot shower
Brush: WCS faux tortoise shell synthetic
Soap/Cream: Razorock Sana Maria Del Fiore Firenze
Razor: Razorock Hawk V3 OC'
Blade: Feather Artist Club Professional (1)
Post-shave: Fine Fresh Vetivar/ Geo F Trumper Sandlewood Skin Food

This was a lovely shave. Two pass and touchups BBS. The first pass was a DFS. I could easily stopped and be done, then what a waste of lather that would have been.
I much prefer these blades than the Super Professional blades. Straight out the dispenser they work very efficiently and are much sharper than any DE blade. The pro is also smoother thsn the super pro's which have a tendency to bite if your not using an extra soft touch using the razor. I think the super pro's are better suited to the Artist Club straight razors.
This particular soft soap is exceptional. This is by far the best soap Razorock produce that I have used. The scent is slightly smokey tobacco with vanilla, Eucalyptus, with a bit of menthol that activates post shave. Standout for the product is the residual slickness. No need to lather for the touchups pass.

From one extreme to the other with brushes, super plush Thater to modified paintbrush
The 4402 produced a nice slick workable lather but no swirling just face slapping and brushing on
Noticeable regrowth by 2:00 PM this arvo.
