Feather SS + SoftGuard / Simpson Eagle 3 Manchurian / Simpson Unscented / Sabre+Gem cleanup

First shavette, two-plus passes, dominant hand only. Needed the Sabre to get from SAS to DFS, chin especially. Two minor weepers and deserved far more for all the flailing around and general ineptitude. No doubt using a very mild guarded blade helped a lot to protect me from myself.

Razor - Wolfman WR2 1.15 solid
Blade - Gillette Silver Blue
Brush - That Darn Rob "Nocturne" 26mm Fanchurian
Soap - Barrister & Mann Le Grand Chypre
A/S - Supply Arenella Coast

Same shave as yesterday except that I swapped the brush and the solid handle in for the hollow. The shave felt basically the same, and the closeness immediately afterward was the same as well, as I expected. I'm looking to see if it lasts the same before the stubble returns. Yesterday's shave didn't seem to "last as long" as previous ones, but I want to compare to see if it's the difference in weights or if it's the blade. I suspect the blade, so we shall see. But right now, the shave feels super smooth, close, and comfortable.

Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89
Soap: Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood
Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T3
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue

I decided to take my once beloved EJ DE89 razor out for a spin today, as I have not used it in about two years.
I had a very nice shave, but probably should have used a little sharper blade such as a Feather.
