Time to resurrect this thread!
Hello Rusty,
I haven't posted for ages because I currently miss at least one day between shaves (sometimes two and rarely three). This means that I don't really have a SOTW. However if there's no objection I'll stay in the Society - after all, I could start shaving every day again at some time in the future.

You are always welcome. Don't worry about strict adherence to any rules. This is a flexible rule club...anything goes. Post whatever you like!

Thanks Rusty!
Here's what I'm up to at the moment. Since the 25th of September I've been giving the Derby Usta a go for a total of 6 shaves. The first shave was in the Fatip Piccolo Special Edition (Original plate) - and in my view the blade was a little too sharp for that razor, leaving a few weepers. Subsequent shaves have been in the Rockwell 6c on R6 and were much better - one DFS, three high-end DFS and a BBS. The Usta really seems to have settled down and delivers a comfortable, smooth shave. It is now a favourite blade!

Very interesting. I am a big fan of Derby blades. I enjoy the Derby Extra and Platinum. Both are fine blades. The Usta is a new one to me. I must pick some up and give them a try. I often find my first shave with any blade is a bit edgy, but most tend to settle down on the second and third shaves. Sounds like you have a winner there.
 
Tomorrow I start with a new kit for the coming week. A fine blend of products guaranteed to give seven excellent shaves. And this week I switch to a DE for the first time in months. I cant believe I am setting aside my trusted Type G!
Pre: Proraso white
Razor: Fendrihan closed comb DE
Blade: Derby Extra
Brush: RazoRock Plissoft
Soap: T&H Ultimate Comfort

I hope y'all have a great week of shaves.

My first SWS entry:

Razor: RR German 37
Blade: Astra SP
Soap: Parker Sandalwood
Brush: seven-day boar rotation

I've been pretty much sticking to a one-week setup for about a year, but I just found this group a few days ago. I've read through the posts and decided this may be a good place for me. Happy to contribute.
