I find the Krona paired with an aggressive blade to be great.
I have Nacets, BICs and a couple of Feathers at hand so I might give it a go after Shark Week

A few threads about rust have motivated me to give my whole straight razor collection a fresh coat of Renaissance Wax. It’s times like these I’m glad that I ‘only’ have six razors.

Still in. But I have a new (to me) razor. Traded my FOCS away to our host and received two in return, of which this Mk1 Fatip Piccolo is one. I loaded it with a Shark stainless. Went okay. I keep opening a nick in the same spot on my neck all the time lately and did it again with this one, but not too bad otherwise. Have to be careful with this Fatip.

I have a somewhat embarrassing fact to share...
Today is the very first time I have finished a shaving product. I have been wetshaving for nearly five years and for the vast majority of that I got distracted by every shiny new object that came on the market, often enough that my "rotation" became overwhelming and seasonal. Finally though, I have finished a product. It encouraged me to dig out another nearly gone product and I hope to finish that shortly.
Thanks grume, one empty bottle is a start!

...but this one IS cracked.
That's how it starts
Day 7, 22.6% complete.
Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: MWF
Brush: Men-U boar
Razor: Rockwell 6S R5, Personna #3
Post-shave: Nivea 2-Phase Lotion.
It got late, so I had an autopilot Rockwell shave. Got another good neck result, so maybe that improvement wasn't just a fluke, and is going to stick.

A good shave today, compared to yesterday's lazy half-effort! The chubby 3 allowed for very thick lather coating for 2 passes. The wilkinson blade was perfectly smooth and sharp, very easy to go over difficult areas without any irritation.

Brought the c2 back out after avoiding it for a bit (too dense/hogs lather)and had a surprisingly really goid time with it? I think the key is to load load and load some more.
