Soap The LASS Topanga Fougere 1st Use
Brush Yaqi 24mm Heavy Metal Tuxedo
Razor Yaqi AC with Pattern Handle
Blade Shick Proline 1st Use - With many thanks to @RenoRichard !!
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Clubman Brandy Spice
Nice pleasant & mild scent from the soap lather. From just a little became a lot of creamy goodness...good slickness too.
Trying a new AC blade send over by a very kind member here. After 3passes, I found the razor and blade combo was not as smooth and comfortable as the Feather ProGuard. The atg pass on the chin and lips area was abit dicey. I will try again but as usual, it's YMMV. The result was between bbs to dfs and 2 micro weepers. Rating 9.5/10

1930s Ever Ready 1912/GEM Personna stainless blade/Cremo original. Great shave with the 1912. Requires more experimentation to find the right angle than my 2 Micromatics, but worth the effort. Also, the sound as you shave is very different than with the Micromatics.
