Razor - Occam's Razor Enoch
Blade - Feather Professional
Brush - Wild West Brushworks "Nova" 26mm silvertip
Soap - WCS Fougere cream
A/S - Proraso Cypress and Vetiver

Another superb shave from the Enoch. I'm loving this razor. It has provided me with super close shaves and a clean, comfortable face afterwards. It feels good to handle, and I'm getting more comfortable with the angle. The brush gave me an awesome lather and has a fantastic knot, and the cream is so green and fresh-scented, I love it.

Razor - Supply Single Edge
Blade - Supply/Personna
Brush - Craving Shaving "Woodstock" 26mm Duro
Soap - Men's Soap Company Sandalwood
A/S - Supply Arenella Coast

Nice to contrast the Supply with the Enoch. On the face the Single Edge feels smoother with the mid plate, but I actually had a bit of irritation for an hour or so after the shave. Then again, I was running late and going kinda fast. The Men's Soap Company gave an airier lather than the kind I tend to prefer from many of the artisans, but the ingredients are good and it really did work well; lots of slickness that in combo with the Supply gave a gliding shave.
