Still in, no pic today.

Blade - Müster Platinum (2)
Soap - Stirling Bay Rum
Brush - Omega Boar
Post Shave - Alba Botanica 98% Aloe Vera

Head shave S-N, 2 pass. Second is just a clean up. Excellent shave from the Gillette on its second use by me. I'm liking it. Still pleased by the blades as they are performing much better than expected.

Just had a super close call with a shave brush.

*pats back*

Like seriously I don't need a 10th brush. Not until my birthday in April anyway

Nice setup. Have you had the chance to compare the GC68 OC to Solid bar .68 or .84?

Thanks! I like the .68 OC better than either of the solid bars. The .68 SB is less efficient and the .84 SB has more blade feel for me. I think the .68 OC has hit the sweet spot. Depending on the blade I can almost use it daily... still learning!! lol

Day 21, 67.7% complete.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: Rockwell 6S R4, Al Handle, Wizamet SI #6
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea 2-Phase Lotion.

Tried the Windrose aluminium handle, and it got the 6S down to 74g.

I was only going to have a quick CCS, but the agile lightened Rockwell was fun to use. Went the whole hog, including ATG, and got a near-BBS face and good neck result.

Still in - DFS+
The Nacet is noticeably smoother on shave No. 2 and finally the circle of death is starting to show in the Vitos.

Nice looking pictures everyone! Will have to add to the mix later on.

Hope everyone is doing well.
