Razor: RazoRock Satin Hawk v2
Blade: Feather AC Pro (first shave)
Cream: C.O. Bigelow
Brush: RazoRock Plissoft synthetic

I was bored a few days ago and doing some online shopping when I remembered that I had the Hawk sitting idle in the back of my bathroom cabinet drawer. I popped over to WCS and ordered a couple of packs of the Pro blades and they arrived in time for single-edge Sunday. I'd forgotten just how good those blades are. I'm a little out of practice, but I managed a really close, comfortable shave with almost no effort, an easy 9/10.
 
Used the Clog Pruf again today. Yesterday was my first shave with an SE in over a year. Still adjusting to the lighter razor (I've been shaving with a Rockwell 6S for the last 14-15 months) and angle, so there was a bit of irritation, but on the whole, just a really enjoyable shave.
