Pre-shave: Hot water, Pears soap
Brush: Forgotten Art "Southern Skies" 30mm Snow Leopard
Soap: Blue Devil Shave Co. - TAS Lavender Patch
Razor: RR SS Hawk V3
Blade: Feather Professional
Post-shave: Shower, homebrew moisturiser, La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF50+
COTD: Mokha Ismaili, Yemen

Soap, brush and bowl making for a thoroughly Tasmanian shave today. Some time ago, I decided that only the Pro Super gives enough efficiency to this razor to make it right for me, but from time to time I try other blades to see if I'm wrong. I don't think I am: the Feather Pro gives a comfortable shave, but not a close one: DFS only.

Pre: Hot Shower, Nivea Skin & Stubble
Brush: Yaqi Everest
Soap: Squadron Empire
Razor: Lupo 72
Blade: Gillette Platinum
Post: Nivea Skin & Stubble, Aloe Vera

Gillette platinum wasn't as sharp as I thought it'd be. Would serve better in a more aggressive razor.
 
Pre-Shave: Hot Shower
Brush: TF Customs - 24mm 2 band finest
Soap/Cream: Noble Otter - Lone Star
Razor: Wolfman - WR2 / WRH7 (1.45)
Blade: Gillette - Stainless ( red & white) (11)
Post-shave: Noble Otter - Lone Star AS splash / A&E - skin food nourishing cream

2 pass WTG daily shave = DFS+. Fantastic shave. This razor and blade combo are sublime. Good for 2 days in between shaves.

Pre-shave: Hot shower, Osma tradition preshave oil
Brush: Simspon PJ2
Soap: SV Felce Aromatica
Razor: Fatip Piccolo Special edition , open comb
Blade: Gillette Minora (yes, I did jump on the bandwagon:))
Post-shave: Icy cold towel, SV Felce Aromatica

Shaving a five day stubble sounded like the perfect occasion to try the open comb for the first time. The open comb felt only just a little more aggressive than the closed comb. My only criticism of this razor is the slightly uneven blade reveal on the two sides, a common problem with Fatips which I was aware of before purchasing. It hasn't taken much away from the joy of the shave, though.

Effortlessly removed 3 day goatee and reminded me how efficient and BBS a shave can be.
Noticed a streak of grey hair in front of left ear lobe where I missed spot.
 
A&E Kaizen :) Butt Plug Handle but still a good shave :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

OMG!! You’re having a jolly holly butt plug good time old fart, I’m sure you’ve completely disinfectant your handle after using it during your shaves.
