One shave of the day for the rest of your life

My everyday setup for the past 6 months.
Parker Variant - killed my love for cheap Baili razors, not that there's anything wrong with them...
Arko - I tried bowl lather but find face lathering with it far more efficient. Also, so far beats every other soap I tried (if not in the looks / smell department)
Maggard 26" synthetic brush.
Dickinson's Witch Hazel, generously cut with alcohol (I emptied about 3.5 oz of Brut in it when it was about 3/4 full). Ever since I stopped irritating my face with every shave, I actually like to feel a bit of sting.
Aqua Velva Musk. I have a love / hate relationship with AS, a lot of them - and for some reason nearly all "fancy" ones I tried - leave my face feeling sticky. AV Ice / Musk, Adidas, and to a lesser extent Brut and Gillette Ice Blue work much better for me. In the winter, I may go back to using Nivea Balm.
The blades - I try new ones every so often, but mostly use Astra SP. This morning tried Crystal (Israeli) for the first time, not very impressed.
That’s a cool shot!
Haha, the hand — altogether well done, Steve!

Thursday OCtober 3
Hitting 3rd, another 113 year old, 1906 Gillette single ring model 100.
Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
Soap - Caties Bubbles Purple Grapefruit
Brush - Rubberset Albright #3
Blade - Feather HI SS (5)
Razor - 1906 Gillette Single Ring
Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Baum.BE A/S balm
Shave rating 5 of 5
So I'm finding that each of these vintage century old razors have a personality of their own. My first shave this OCtober was with a similar aged single ring and that was a very mild, smooth shave with no blade feel. This razor was a bit more aggressive, a good bit of blade feel, but no less effective. I was in a bit of a rush so I only did a one pass shave and this razor gave me a DFS+ on that one WTG pass. This soap is really good, I could have done 5 passes with the lather generated by about a pea sized portion of the soap. The brush is one of my older brushes, and still has original boar knot (I believe) which is still in good shape. Brush was a little floppier than I like but still did the job well.
I apologize for my delay in posting this Thursday shave. Got busy Thursday and then had surgery on my left hand Friday morning and won't be shaving for a couple days while the hand heals and I can start using it again.
Happy OCtober and great shaves everyone.
