Brush: Yaqi 30mm tuxedo
Razor: Charcoal Goods Gen 1 L2 + Stinger V1 handle antique brass (P&C LE 2019/20 Charity Auction)
Blade: Bic Chrome (4)
Soap: A&G Lemon Myrtle
Pre: Shower
Bowl: Rover bowl
Post: Alum block // Suavecito Menthol Vanishing Creme
WTG, ATG, Touchups = DFS

A somewhat rough shave resulting in some mild irritation on my neck and a nick on a scar which luckily the Alum patched up. From memory the Bics worked great in the GC & 6S which I have since moved on... :rolleyes:
Soap performed a treat and the scent is pleasant but not as strong as originally it was.
Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!

Pre: Shower
Razor: WR2 1.25
Blade: Gillette 7 O’clock Yellow
Brush: Yaqi 26mm Pony
Soap: A&E Kaizen
Post: A&E Kaizen Splash

Had a great shave with the WR2 today 😊 Rode the bar quite steep this morning, with the handle nearly parallel to the face and this resulted in the smoothest shave with the 1.25 to date.

Also added a second XTG pass across the lip area in the opposite direction then went a light ATG. The lip area was my worst with the razor but today the shave was excellent, resulted in BBS without any weepers or irritation.

I think I finally learnt to shave with this razor. If it wasn’t so pretty and good to hold I would of given up a while ago, but so happy I persisted. Will try a feather next!!

I love this soap too - I went back and bought another 2 tubs to make sure I never run out. Interestingly, though, even though I don't have a "changeover day", I seem to be using it more as a winter soap.

Yes, I can see it working as a winter set, jsut using now as it is new :)

Pairs well with the Halfeti I think, finally found something to use easily with that!
