Your sympathy is appropriate and appreciated @SpeedyPC , but never fear, I shall overcome.

Blade: Gillette Rubie Platinum
Pre: Shower

Brush: Omega (Proraso) boar
Razor: Leaf Razor
Blade: Rockwell (3)
Pre: Shower
Bowl: Pereira Shavery Lathering Bowl
Soap: APR Suitably Attired Summer
Post: APR Restoration Peptide Concentrate Serum 15ml Tester A

Last 2 SOTD with very little separating them if I'm honest. The V1 formula performs exceptionally well with great slickness and post shave feel, with a slight edge on the scent going towards the SAS but Fresca works just as well in these warmer months. As for the razor/blade combo they both shaved smoothly and with ease but its hard to beat the efficiency and comfort achieved using the GC .84P. Paired with a Rubie its a near BBS most times but the more I master the Leaf I'm seeing consistently rewarding shaves both on my face and head. Finished off with some soothing Serum for soft, youthful skin... Happy shaves!

Pre-shave: Shower, Proraso White
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Tuxedo
Soap/Cream: PAA - Red Planet
Razor: Karve CB (A-OC)
Blade: Astra SP (1)
Post-shave: Cold Water Splash, alum, TSW After Balm

WOW! For me the A-OC plate = more blade feel, more efficient and less redness with the same amount of smoothness compared to the C-SB plate. Might have to get a AA-OC for a daily.
