I've never tried Lucky Tiger, but the ingredients look pretty good, and the price for an 8oz bottle isn't too bad. I'll have to add it to my list of things to try.

Brush Yaqi 26mm Orange Black Synthetic
Razor Parker SemiSlant
Blade Treet Platinum 1st

Ice Water + Special Thayers Mix

Very nice soap. Scent off the puck is pleasant citrusy/orangey and remains thru the shave. Great creamy and slick lather from working with the soft brush on face.
Shave with this slant razor paired with blade was bloody today. Multiple weepers...even from the 1st wtg pass. Must be the blade...will try another blade next. Still able to complete 3 multiple direction passes and stop. Plenty of extra lather waiting...ahahaha
Icy water rinse followed by alum ensure all weepers are closed. Thayers then Hyaluronic soothed and lastly AV Musk.
A close shave...but rating 7/10 today!

Wednesday SOTD - A cool mentholated DFS++ shave!
Pre Shave - Hot water splash and Truefitt & Hill No.10 Pre Shave scrub
Brush - Hajamat Ash Wood Handled synthetic shaving brush
Shaving Soap - Edwin Jagger Cooling Menthol Shaving Cream
Bowl - Supply marble lathering bowl
Razor - Pearl Chrome TTO chrome finish
Blade - Gillette Silver Blue on 4th use
Post Shave - Running cold water splash along with application of alum
Aftershave - Pink Woolf Seabuckthorn & Aloe Vera cooling Aftershave Balm
Well to start I did not have enough growth post yesterday’s sublime 3 pass BBS shave so felt there is not need to cushion my face additionally with a pre shave oil. Also though the brush is super soft yet decided to go ahead with bowl lathering to ensure the face is not unnecessarily rubbed to cause any discomfort. 3rd and most important change was moving to a fairly aggressive razor with the best blades to ensure I get a smooth DFS+ (if not a BBS) with lower/equal number of passes without the need of scrapping my face again & again.
Well all the tricks mentioned above actually paid off! The shaving cream and brush created voluminous lather with slickness guaranteed. The aggressive razor paired with the smoothest blades on 4th use glided excellent on all three passes. The only blade which has been this smooth apart from GSB during 4th use is the India made Gillette Super Plat black ones with which I have achieve 10+ smooth shaves/blade. Curious to see how the GSB works on 5th and subsequent uses as it so far has superseded all other blades including Gillette Super Platinums in the 4 uses.
Had 3 excellent passes (or may be 2 and half as the last pass was only focused on chin and neckline). No weepers, nicks or cuts to report while the skin was definitely little red and irritated post 3 pass shaves on 2 consecutive days. The alum gave moderate feedback and the face cooled down further post application of the cooling aftershave balm whilst the mesmerising fragrance kept my mood uplifted. Face feels very soft and well moisturised as the fragrance lingers!
Next shave is due on Friday where I will be using one of the most appreciated luxurious shaving creams (spoiler alert).
Thank you

Today I am using Grooming Dept.'s Asinus soap with a B&B LE 2012 brush. The brush was made by Rudy Vey and has a Shavemac knot in it. I have always liked the shape and feel of that brush. The razor is my Wolfman SS SB 1.05 loaded with a Wizamet Super Iridium blade. The aftershave is my favorite combo: Thayers Rose Petal WH and L'Occtaine ASB. After a shower, some Jimmy Choo Man Intense cologne.
