Rather quick and uneventful shave this morning. Enjoyed it very much and I have had better shaves as well.

Rather harsh shave today but no bloodshed and pretty close :behead::badger:
 
Another day, another shave, still in.

Not as happy with the Elios blades I’ve been using in the Slim, swapped it out quicker than usual. Personna Super blue with Slim on a 6… Muhle soap and got what felt like a great lather. Overall pretty good shave, but not what I’d call DFS. I’ll keep working on my technique.
 
Day 10, 35.7% complete

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Lather: Boots Cool Cologne Shaving Cream
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #3
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm

I stayed with the .84 plate, to compare it with the 1.05. It's slightly less efficient, but it provides the best autopilot shave of anything I've got, including the Rockwell 6S.
