Last night:
blade: Feather (40 and done)
razor: '46 Aristocrat
lather: Proraso Red croap
brush: 24 mm SynBad
post: lukewarm rinse, alum block, cold rinse, Proraso Red AS
Strangely enough, the last one in the Aristocrat was better and closer than the previous 9 or so shaves. The Feather had been dragging, and required many blade buffing passes to get a decent shave.
Also, I was getting bored with it.
Tonight I started with a Wilkinson Sword blade that came with the WS Classic TTO Razor with the long handle, in a QShave Futur clone set to 1.
