Soap Colonel Conk Almond
Brush Yaqi 24mm Sagrada Familia
Razor Edwin Jagger DE89L
Blade Tiger Platinum 2nd
Post & Aftershave
Ice Water + Special Thayers
Hyaluronic Acid + Aqua Velva Musk
Lather not as thick but still very slick as with most of CC soaps. Shave with same razor and blade as part of continuous testing. It was still as sharpish, smooth and comfortable. 3 multiple passes + buffing. No weepers nor irritation. Between BBS to DFS.

Shave/Results: 2 pass WTG and ATG. “ADFS” (almost DFS) had some minor irritation on lower right side of jaw. Totally my fault, I felt the angle was off on the ATG pass and still shaved that small section when I was adjusting the angle. I should have removed razor from face and re-engaged with the proper angle. (Big dummy!) Have a great day.

Such a smooth shave today. I read on this forum that soaps like Williams get better if you use them everyday. I am gonna try use mine for a couple days in a row. I like how I get such a close shave. I don't seem to get as much protection as say from Stirling. I also felt like my lather gets thinner as it sits there. Maybe too much water. Anyways. Happy today.

Brush: FS 28mm G4 Synthetic
Lather: FrankenSoap: (Taconic Glycerin & Omega Cream)
Aftershave Balm: Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Luxury Gel
Aftershave Toner: Wholly Kaw Man From Mayfair
Shave Rating: 9/10
This is my third shave with the Canadian pre-war tech, and I’m coming to the opinion that it is the smoothest shaver that I own. I’ve still got various blades I want to load into it, but up to now, it can do no wrong. Just “WOW”. And to think of all the money I’ve spent on razors, and I got this one in a dirty old junk lot on EBay.
I was given a free tube of Omega shave cream with one of my orders. I’ve never been very impressed with it, so today I mixed it with some Taconic Glycerin shave soap. The bastard progeny gave me a darn good frankenshave.
