1917ish Army Issue Auto Strop VB1 / Modified GEM PTFE / Ghost Town Barber Soap/AS / Vintage ER Badger-Boar knot -- CCC 2 1/2 pass bloodless shave. Love the Steam Punk image of these razors that look so aggressive but in reality are just really mild, efficient shavers
1917ish Army Issue Auto Strop VB1 / Modified GEM PTFE / Ghost Town Barber Soap/AS / Vintage ER Badger-Boar knot -- CCC 2 1/2 pass bloodless shave with a great soap and menthol rich AS. Love the Steam Punk image of these razors that look so aggressive but in reality are just really mild, efficient shavers.
Vector SB loaded with a Schick Proline. Great combo, smooth effortless whisker removal. Nice shave with the CRS Sublime Citrus and finished with Stirling Piacenza.

Blackland Razors Vector SB loaded with a Schick Proline. This combo is pretty amazing. I stopped counting number of shaves on a blade because I feel like I may have been influencing my blade change frequency. Now I just let it ride to I feel tugging or a serious degradation in shave outcome.
May 13th:
OneBlade Genesis / Feather FHS (3rd)
Stirling Green / 30mm Tuxedo
Stirling Green AS Splash
Polo Intense Balm
Stirling Green EDT
Results: Ended up doing 4 passes, but ultimately yielded about as close a BBS shave as possible, regardless of the razor, and thankfully no irrigation.

Schick Type M, Schick injector blade, SynBad brush loaded with Mike's Natural Soaps Unscented. Wonderful!
My new to me Hawk V2 Hulk Green. Used at work with a Kai mild blade. BBS shave with Omega croap. Not convinced about the blade. Felt a little rough but it was on 4.5 days growth.
