Pre-shave: Hot shower, Osma Preshave Oil
Brush: SOC Badger
Soap: Acca Kappa Muschio Bianco
Razor: Ralph Aust 4/6
Post-shave: A couple of squirts of Acca Kappa EDP into some Thayers splashed onto my face:)

This soap is just as impressing with the straight as it was with the Blackland Vector. The thick creamy lather and its slickness , to me, is quite similar to MDC (and it's half the price).

This Ladas blade didn’t do it for me today. It was one and done for him. I think there are 2 blades left which will go to whoever I sell the next something to as a freebie.

Ain’t worth wasting time of crappy blades that don’t suit me.

Very impressive first shave with Wacker and edge honed by Maggards
The Wacker was very easy to navigate around the face
2 x WTG = DFS+​
 

Pre-Shave: Hot Shower
Brush: TF Customs - 24mm 2 band finest
Soap/Cream: DG - Cygnus X1
Razor: Blackland - Vector Ti
Blade: Schick - Proline (15)
Post-shave: DG Cygnus X1 AS splash / A&E skin food nourshing cream

2 pass WTG + touchups = DFS+.
After 15 shaves on the proline, time to rest this blade. Still smooth, although the efficiency has dropped off. Will give the blade a second life in my Kamisori for face and head tidy ups.
 
I started this week working my way through my English M7DS, first with Gillette foam to see how it performed.

That lasted all of three days. For the rest of the week, I returned to civilization and tallow Tabac face lathered.

This morning I finished with my Sunday SR. For maintenance, I used my new 0.1μm mini diamond paste balsa strop. All worked beautifully.

Won’t be a whole lot longer until this soap is finished. It’s been great to use.

Not sure I’ve posted the Gen 2 Wild West here before. It used to have a tuxedo knot which I steamed out so I could put a 26mm Oumo Lotus in. This handle now has a knot it deserves!

Been ages and ages since using the Rockwell. It’s a solid razor but it’s looks seem to let it down. Some say it’s industrial, which it is, but it gets the job done.

Ended with some B&M Citricuya splash and a spray of HoM Jitterbug.

Two and bit days of work to go!
