Blade: Gillette 7oClock SP(black)(5) sharp & smoooth and usually get 5 great shaves and then toss with this blade.
Soap: Italian barber Amici, nice mild citrus scent with excellent lather qualities.(misted)
Brush: Yaqi Atlantis 24mm synthetic, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, great scrub, great lather painter, how they got all that stuff in the handle?
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: Italian barber Amici with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizer lotion(balm)+ scentless.

Shave #324. Saw @never-stop-learning birchbark Muhle and had to dig mine out from a travel bag. Great razor. First time use of a APShave G5c brush and Stirling Varen mutton base soap. All very nice. View attachment 1365634

An excellent selection!

How do you find the G5C?

An excellent selection!

How do you find the G5C?

Nothing stood out for me with the G5c to really distinguish it from the other APShave synthetics that I really like, but I'm only one shave in.

You're on a synthetic run! I used a badger this morning. I'm getting tired of trying to coax lather out of the depths of the brush in comparison to synthetics and boars. Looking forward to decemboar.
I used the OC side only of this .86 WR1 with a Kai blade on second use. Amazingly close shave with no issues. My WR2 1.65 is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, which I'm looking forward to trying.

Trying to keep the variables to a minimum for the Rex Envoy vs Mühle Rocca R95 V4 comparison.

After today's shave, I plan to use a Rudy Vey brush with Shavemac 2-Band Silvertip Badger for the final shave with each razor.
