Not open for further replies.
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

ATT SE1
Schick Proline P30
Squadron Soaps The Warden
Alpha shaving Outlaw V2, Titanium

Not as smooth as The Vector and noticeably heavier. Super sharp blade and very close after two passes, but with more irritation than yesterday's three pass shave with the Balckland paired with a Kai.

Pre: Hot shower, Pre shave oil (Nico's home brew)
Razor: RAW RS-10 Mild Plate
Blade: Feather
Bowl: Handmade bowl, Mk3
Brush: RazoRock Silvertip Synthetic
Soap: Squadron Group Captains Blend
Post: Squadron Group Captains Blend Splash
WTG, ATG, touch up with adjusted angles for my beard.
Unpacked two sea containers today. Looked forward to a nice hot shower and a relaxing smooth shave when I got home.
This combination was just magical. Mission accomplished. (y)

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!
