Razor - Charcoal Goods 3rd Gen Level 3
Blade - Wizamet Super Iridium
Brush - Alpha Outlaw Polished Brass
Soap - DG/HoM/NO Cerberus

First shave with the Charcoal Goods Gen 3. Moderate blade feel and fairly efficient. Not as aggressive as I expected from a level 3 plate. Makes me wonder if the level 2 plate and the everyday plate will be too mild for me. Overall the shave was enjoyable. Cerberus scent is fairly strong and it grows on you.

Razor: Gillette English Flat Bottom Tech
Blade: Tiger Platinum (3rd use)
Brush: Omega 48
Preshave: Proraso White
Cream: Palmolive Classic
Aftershave: Malizia Uomo Vetyver

I had a bit of an "a-ha" moment today. After using the Fatip and realising how guard forward an angle it needed, I tried using a more guard forward angle with the Tech (usually I aim more towards the cap, still with the guard touching though), and I had a smoother shave. With the last few touch ups, I decided to try and do the angle I was previously using, and I got the first weeper of the shave, hmm. Tiger Platinum isn't feeling the sharpest but it's still comfortable and doing the job, so I'll stick with it some more.

Pitralon Classic AS

3rd sample of HC&C for me to try. Lovely fresh smell, which also fades quite fast during the shave. Nice little itch of menthol. Very nice feeling face afterwards. Could be a great refreshing summer soap. Great combination with the Pitralon as well.

Comments	A beautiful shave on a beautiful day! This is my third shave in a row with the Feather AS-D2 razor and Feather blade. Another smooth, close shave. This is one of the few razors where I can go ATG on my mustache area. Today’s brush is another of my Paladin brushes: a PK 47. The brush does a nice job of loading soap and makes great lather. The Williams was used for the 35th time. The AoS ASB smells and feels great. Have a great day, folks.
