Still in and a really smooth shave with my birthdate (W2, not my birthday) Super Speed.
Damn, I wish that I still functioned as good as it does!

Still in, despite eyeing several vintage razors that would be very happy living in my cupboard.
Old Type, Tatara (5). Gillette 2-in-1 cream. Yaqi synthetic. Bevel aftershave balm.
Mixed shave, trying to map out and follow my grain better, with amazing results in some parts of my face and regular results in other parts. Feel like I’m learning every shave, although I occasionally pay for it

Still in - DFS+
Progress @3.5, Dorco ST300 (1), Barbus Classic, Omega S-Brush, Pitralon Classic Cedar
First time with this Dorco and it’s a nice one, smooth but with that crisp and crunchy audible feedback. Any suggestions for another razor to try that one in?

A very nice and relaxing shave today.

Enjoy your shave today!
I found this blade working well in my Fatip, R41 and Tech FB, Hannes. It’s a nice blade overall with some longevity to it as well.
Day 17, in.
DFS today. My Obif blade is starting to drag a bit but, I’m still satisfied with its performance. MdC has me hooked. It has become the leader of the pack.
Make it a great day!

Miraculously, on the last half of the month (and glad I picked the shortest monthly GRUME)!!

Still hanging on, but might have to take March off for a soap purchase.
