Amazing how nicely it fits the Rocca birch handle!

I thought that was really nice too. I have the X3 but not that cool handle.

34 uses of a single blade is insanely amazing. What’s your record?

Sir @sarir97 , i'm not a veteran. This is my second attempt of this kind. The first time I reached 45 uses with an original Polsilver Super Iridium blade, received PIF from my colleague @Multum in parvo . It is more of a purely mental problem. Most of us throw away the blades long before this is necessary. Try it and you will see that it is possible. There is no lie in the middle. Just be patient with the blade used. When you think you have to throw it away, change the device and soften your beard better, you will see that you were the culprit, not the blade!

I've been using an ARKO stick-turned-puck, but haven't been happy with the lather. Today, I used an ARKO stick, face lathered with my Yaqi Moka Express (badger) and for better lather. A 2+ pass shave with a Gillette yellow in my FOCS delivered a DFS.

Wunderbar with an Astra SS followed by the SLOC with a feather.
Brush was the Maggard blue resin badger (fan) loaded with B&M Classic Reserve. Great soap and great all-around shave.

Slantemper 23rd 2021

Razor: Razorock Wunderbar slant, Mfg 2017> excellent upper mid range, light touch technique, well built with 316 stainless + very close tolerances.
Blade: Polsilver SI (2) great blade, Sharp & smooth with good longevity. I always cork this blade on first shave because Iridium coating is harder than most coatings available.
Soap: Razorock XXX, nice clean powdery scent with excellent lather qualities with tallow added.
Brush: Yaqi Red Zebra 26 mm synthetic excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, nice gentle scrub luxury feel + excellent lather painter!
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock XXX with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea Moisturizer balm(very good+ scentless)
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my RR Wunderbar slant with a Polsilver SI blade.

Have some great shaves!

Soap Stirling Executive Man
Brush Yaqi 24mm Arctic Sky Deep Blue
Razor Fatip OC Slant on a Yaqi Handle
Blade Gillette Silver Blue 2nd
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Wintergreen + Stirling Executive Man Splash
An excellent soap with a very nice scent and lovely rich creamy slick lather...
An excellent shave too with the razor and blade combination! Super smooth and very comfortable in 3passes for a dolphin smooth finish. Good razor and even better blade! Unfortunately, 2 red creepers materialized affecting an otherwise perfect session. Aftershaves were excellent too!!

Good to be home!

The Wunderbar is an old friend. The Trafalgar is a new acquaintance who arrived unannounced yesterday. They made beautiful music together.

In fact, the whole shave was a symphony. It is very good to be back in the home den.
