Modern May 25, excellent shave with the Razorock Game Changer 84-P loaded with a Personna Lab Blue along with bowl lathered Arko.
It’s buffing that uses the cap instead of the comb. Originally called the DE backstroke by @GaryTha and later renamed the Pushback Stroke last Wednesday.

Thanks Butch! As noted, the small blade gap made me nervous as I’m discovering I like more aggressive razors. But it was a great shave and it does look pretty in the “shave den”, no matter what my lovely bride still chooses to call it.

Seeing as how I manged to cut my hand pretty badly while assembling the pic attached, maybe this was my Modern Mayday shave of the night...
Preshave wash w/Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Oil soap
Harry's preshave scrub
Proraso pre shave
Proraso sensitive skin shave cream
Vikings Blade Chieftain Jr.
Persona Med Prep blade
Naked Armor stainless steel scuttle
Perfecto badger brush
Duke Cannon Ice Cold after shave balm
8/10. Damned shave, which I attribute to the quality of the blade. I wound up w/one small nick near my Adam's Apple, & a bloody huge one (pun intended) right under my chin. Then, like I said, I was careless handling the razor & gave myself one of the near-painless, yet deep cuts at which Med Prep blades excel. But, I can't blame the razor for my own carelessness.

Sorry for the hand getting cut. Been there done that. And will probably do that again!
Modern May 26, Rockwell 6C, plate 4 with a PAA Strangelet blade.

Terrific close comfortable shave. Wilkie pairs wonderfully with this efficient razor. 10/10
Hey Mr T, or Mr Big!
What do you think of the Strangelet blades? I don't want to start a derailing, so if you posted elsewhere, point me there! Thank you!
No photo, but it really did happen!
Yates 921-M, Israeli Red (2), MWS Sensitive Skin, and a mixed badger/boar from AP Shave Co.
What a wonderful shave! The Yates, for me, gives an audible shave like an injector or GEM razor, making me glad that I am not shaving in the bedroom for fear of waking my wife up! There must be like an echo chamber or sound amplification system made by the lather slots and other machining to get so a full, rich sounding shave
