Parker 26c with a fresh Astra SP. First three pass shave with an open comb razor so I decided to try it with a milder blade I usually don't find sharp enough. The Astra performed much better than it has in my milder razors although it could still do with being a bit sharper in this razor.

Thank you mate. Most appreciated. Lots of unheard of blades out there that are pretty good.
What would be your go-to blade?
I love Astra SP, Personna and Voskhod. These work best for me.

I like Astra SP and Voskhod a lot too but I go to the Israeli Personna most. I have 100 lots of all three and more kinds. Sometimes I find I like a blade in one razor but it doesn't work for me in a different razor.

Israeli Personna red is the 5 pack and the plastic is the same in a 10 pack.

1935 Rolls Razor / Williams Shave Soap / AV Musk Splash -- Williams Wednesday and my first successful Rolls Razor shave--all blade feel (duh!), but not overly harsh/aggressive for 3 passes, zero blood, BBS! This is a $10 new to me 1935 Imperial no.3 (Stainless Steel) Rolls w/telescoping handle I picked up a few weeks ago (included the instructions and it was refurbished with a new hone/strop and the blades were redone (under $6 for a factory refurbishment) at some point, and it may not have been used much if at all after being refurbished (no date unfortunately). I spent a few minutes wet sanding the surface rust off, then wet honed it on an old Rolls stone outside the case, then honed and stropped it in the case. I was on the fence as to whether it was shave ready or not, and after a lot of work on the blade and a lot of reading on several different forums on a Rolls shave, I decided to go for it. I had an aborted Rolls shave in October, using a light touch, but after reading other's suggestions to just "own" the shave with a firm hand and a lot of skin stretching, I enjoyed a very close shave experience was like no other razor I've used before. Sure, I was leery at first (it's a straight on a stick after all), so I was hesitant initially, but then found the angle and fell into a familiar groove and while I still respected the tool, I didn't fear it and the results were amazing. It needs a bit more stropping, but from all accounts the blade will smoothen out over time, and I've got another blade in this case and another case and two blades, so I shouldn't need to hone for a while. Apologies for the wall of text, but this is a unique system that doesn't get it's due respect.
