Saturday afternoon:

Turkish horse hair brush Nr. 7
Wilkinson Stick, face lathered and bowl lathered combination
Schick Krona w. ASCO red, first pass
Super Adjustable set at 3 w. Treet Durasharp carbon (2), subsequent passes
Target witch hazel
Body Shop Razor Relief, <2009 formula

My second try w. the Wilkinson stick. Face lathering results in a lather that's too thick and dry for me. The brush doesn't load up with this stuff for bowl lathering like it does for Arko, so I kept dripping a little water on the brush to thin the face lather a bit, then went to the bowl to get a lather consistency more to my liking. Overall a nice face-conditioning lather, but more refinement of technique is needed.

Now back to the basketball game.
 
Was lucky enough to be PIFed a couple of SE blades, so first shave with a Gem today! :clap:

Fantastic shave ending in a CCS, with a little practice I can see BBS coming my way! :shaving:
