I actually did my first official Shark Week shave Sunday night around nine. NO BLOOD! NO SHARK SIGHTINGS!

Mon 10th
Start of my Shark Week Shave!
Soap Rasozero Agrumella
Brush Yaqi 26mm Butterscotch
Razor RR Game Changer.84 SB
Blade JAWS Platinum 1st
Post & Aftershave
Ice Water + Special Thayers Mix
Hyaluronic + Reuzel Wood & Spice
Great lather from soap. Spread on face then work with the nice brush. Good lemony scent, creamy and slick. More than enough lather for 4passes...
Shave with razor paired with new Jaws blade was quite good. Smooth...comfortable and sharpish too. Quite similar to a SuperMax. Blade is abit thick. 3+1 multiple passes without issues but after rinsing notice some creepers. BBS to DFS result. Icy cold rinse followed by cooling Thayers then soothed by Hyaluronic and Reuzel. Rating 9.5/10. Enjoyable session.

I’m due for a new blade so I’m in 
. I’m late but oh well. I have a few super chromes left, might as well. Always thought those blades were pretty decent. Will report in after tonight’s shave.

Day 2 A.M. shave with Arko & a Shark SS blade. No blood in the water so those Sharks are starving.! Close shave & no irritation with the EJ DE89 razor.!
This morning got bit by the Shark. Was doing a blade swap between razors for tomorrow's shave, finger slipped and got a small cut while loading the blade 
I loaded the Shark SS to the Progress today (set at #2.5) and got a much closer shave. The rest of the setup was similar, boar brush and Arko. I really enjoyed it!
I will use the same blade for a couple more days and will then switch to the Super Chromes to see what is the difference.

Sorry!! Be careful when you pet a Shark!!
I've found that the SS are better for me than the super chrome, I find them draggyI’m due for a new blade so I’m in
Yeah I burned through my pack of SS and didn’t revisit the super chromes much after trying one. This will be a great opportunity to see if my opinion changes trying it in a different razor.

Have to report a minor Shark 'bite' today. Ended up with blood in the water with a minor weeper, but in fairness to the Shark Platinum I pulled a really old container of dried up Mem shave cream and lathered it up. I haven't shaved with that stuff in quite a while so I'm betting that contributed.
I'm pretty sure it happened on my XTG pass and it was in a known trouble spot I have near my Adam's Apple so it is something I get often enough not to get bent out of shape about. I barely felt any sting when I applied styptic and I can barely tell it now 6 hours later so it was extremely minor. I'll be back Shark hunting tomorrow with the Platinum, but I may move it to the Slim Adjustable because I haven't used that combo yet, and I may crank it down to super mild.

Ha! She bit me alright.
Yup, I knew I had some Super Chromes left, turns out I have 2. Decided to modify one for my Wade and Butcher open comb DE and gave it a go.
It certainly bit me, I used my pencil on 4 or 5 spots on my neck, but a decent post shave feel surprisingly. I’m sure I’ll reopen these nicks tomorrow with my 2nd go!

Wade and Butcher open comb (lovely)
Proraso green pre-shave
Proraso green cream
