If I were one of your DE razors, I'd feel threatened! Or at least, put on notice!

Razor 1: Blackland Sabre L2
Blade: GEM PTFE (8)
Razor 2: Blackland Tradere SB
Blade: Gillette PermaSharp Super (1)
Brush: Semogue Butterscotch SOC Boar
Soap: Arko
Post: Thayers WH Aloe
Aftershave: Gillette Cool Wave

The Shave: My DE razors were lonely. Used Tradere for all mustache area passes. Sabre for everything else. Both are excellent shavers and the results reflect this. Boy, the SOC Boar/Arko combo can whip up a great lather.
Have a great day.

Sat 3rd SE SOTD
Soap Stirling Haverford
Brush Yaqi 26mm Rainbow
Razor Yaqi AC Aluminum
Blade KAI ProGuard MG 1st - Kindly send by @RenoRichard, thank you very much!!
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel BayRum + Stirling Haverford AS Balm
Awesomely aromatic tobaccoish/cigarish scent from this soap. Good strength too. The lather was very good...thickly creamy and slick, excellent...!!!
Shave with razor paired with the KAI guarded blade was excellent!!! It was silky smooth, very comfortable, and efficient for 3passes without any weepers nor irritation especially during the 3rd atg pass was nice and crisp. BBS!!
The witch hazel bayrum sure gives a good burn and the scent mixed well with the Haverford balm which gives a longer aroma. The balm is really nice even in my hot weather condition. Rating 10/10!!
