ARKO whipped into a lovely, slick lather with an Omega 10048 and whiskers were efficiently removed with a short handled Merkur Progress and a Lord "Classic" blade. Alas, this blade/razor combo was only average.

For me, Edwin Jaggers and Feather blades pair really well. Today was an excellent three pass shave to a BBS finish.
I plan to go to a different razor and blade tomorrow but I'm debating whether to put this Feather in a different razor or to can it. Feathers are sharp enough for me to take them past three shaves but since I have around two thousand blades of different kinds I feel no need to squeeze the very last shave from a blade.
Have a great day everyone [emoji3]

Absolutely one of the best shaves I have ever had, the weight of the razor made it
very easy to let the razor determine the pressure, it cut thru 3 days growth like it
was nothing, incredible BBS without trying. Can not wait until tomorrow evening.

This was my third shave with this cream and another pleasant shave. I used more product and a slightly shaken out brush this time and ended up with too much lather again! Lather was spilling over my bowl so I finished lathering on my face. When I rinsed out the bowl, there was still some unlathered cream on the sides! A little of this cream goes a long way and it looks like this sample will last twice as long as the same size samples of TOBS and D.R. Harris creams I recently used.
Overall a nice close and irritation free shave.
