Razor - Gillette '55 Flare Tip Super Speed
Blade - Voskhod
Brush - Oz Shaving "Polychrome" 24mm TGN Grade A silvertip
Cream - TOBS Jermyn St
A/S - OneBlade balm

What a fantastic shave! I used my newly knotted Oz handle with a TGN silvertip to generate a terrific thick, creamy TOBS lather, and the brush was fantastic. A few more shaves will have it rockin' even better. But oh man, the Flare Tip is awesome! Another Gillette to love, along with my Techs and New SC. Great feel in the hand, excellent balance, the knurling is very grippy, easy angle, and a nice mild blade feel that still gives a great shave. I got fantastically close results, and my face feels outstanding. Definitely have a new favorite Gillette; can't wait to try some Astras and Gillette blades in it.
