Best shave so far with an AC blade

All the other AC blades just didn't work for me.

The same blade that I found harsh in the SS Hawk v3-A last week. Smooth effortless shave in the Brass General! Next to try - this blade in the aluminum Black Hawk - the reason I was willing to try the SS Hawk.

A very good Shave with what IMHO is the best of of the long handled US Schicks that takes a Twin Blade. Rather elegant too with the T Shaped Head.

Blade: Shark Super Stainless (1st)
Brush: Dscosmetic - Cashmere 26mm
Pre-Shave: Innisfree - Green Tea Foam Cleanser
Lather: PAA - Atomic Age Bay Rum
Aftershave: Historic Brands - Georgian Bay Rum
Sorry Sharks, but my Shake Sharp is too smooth to allow any blood in the water. No feeding frenzy today. In fact, my face is so smooth your teeth would just slide off.

Sunday Schick shave, July 11th 2021
Razor: Schick G1 Canadian variant- Mfg 1940's-50's N.D.Codes, Mid range, Easy razor to manipulate around the face, light weight. Still having fun with the Kai Protouch blade, very easy on the skin this blade, great results.
Blade: Kai Protouch MG modified (5)- Excellent blade, sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity. Pricey blade but you do get extra protection and this blade is not that threatening if that matters to some. I use this blade in other non 50mm razors with great success. Usual results DFS++ it seems and you can add a little pressure and not threatening to cut IMO. Great shave today.
Soap: Italian barber Amici. Nice citrus scent(red grapefruit & ..... with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi Moka express 24mm synthetic, excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, soft scrubber, great lather painter and just a nice feel to the face when using.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Italian barber Amici AS with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=Excellent shave with my Schick G1 Canadian variant with a Kai Protouch modified for injection razors.
Have some excellent shaves!
