Still out! Shooting for 28/30! I ended up ordering 2 more soaps and matching aftershaves, on sale! I have finished up 6 soaps this year and don't plan to add any more until the summer next year.

Thanks!

Anyway, the shave experience confirmed the impression I had. The Gillette Rocket HD500 isn't an ineffective razor. My Rocket, loaded with a fresh PermaSharp, took care of two days stubble easily and behaved in an unagitated way. I'd say the combo definitely isn't super high efficient but absolutely efficient enough for a regular daily shaving / every other day shaving. I'm sure if a fresh Feather had been loaded this blade had increased the efficiency level of this razor even more. The PermaSharp, however, made for smooth and drama-free shave. It's been a good shave.

Still in. Had another shave with a TFS Vecchia Torino sample today. It was an ok lather but it still feels like it's lacking in slickness compared to the TFS Traditional soap in my den.
Still in.
Week#3 Setup

Razor: Karve Overlander- Brass
Blade: Feather (2)
Brush: Parker Silvertip
Post Shave: Alum, Witch Hazel, B&M Lavender A/S, Nivia Balm

Repetition is the mother of skill (Anthony Robbins ). I think that very well might be. And there is always my favourite signature of all (by @RenoRichard): shaving is a chore that need not bore.

Absolutely flawless BBS shave this morning.
The Karve CB paired with a P Plus on shave #3 made for a very enjoyable shave. Malbolge is a very smooth, light tobacco and lightly sweet scent.
A rare 10/10 gents!
