Razor: Gillette Tech Canadian D-Slots (just arrived on Friday-first shave)
Blade: Astra SP
Brush: Wilkinson Sword
Cream: MEM Olive
AS: GFT Coral Skinfood

First go with the new razor..."The D-slot Tech is more aggressive"...sure is...was surprised how much....in a good way.
The brush I just picked up yesterday for 8 bucks...took the stank out of it last night following the instructions posted in the brush section...worked great...both the destinkifying and the brush itself.

Custom Wolf Whiskers silvertip by Peter Wolf
Real Shaving Co. cream
Warm followed by cold water splash

Got a two pass SAS. Real Shaving Co. lather smelled great. Very musky.
 
Lousy shave this morning.

Wilkinson Sword brush
Super Speed with Derby
Williams shaving soap
Unscented moisturizer

Either the blade is too dull now or the Williams soap's lather was no good but I was not satisfied at all with today's results. Also a couple of small nicks. Let's hope tomorrow will be better.

Got myself a DE a couple moths ago, mainly to have something for light travelling, but I find that I really enjoy using it, I still prefer my straights, but every once in a while it's a nice diversion.

Wish you all a great saturday!
