Forgotten soap...really good quality lather...thickly creamy and slick but lightly scented. The reuzel matches nicely.
A wonderfully relaxing Sun shave with this excellent razor. Refreshed & strop on the hanging 0.1um balsa and kanayama...the edge was buttery smooth soft. 3passes for a bbs-ccs finish...

These blades are rough for me, certainly when they are new. Will try again for a second and third time, but sure these will not become my favourite injector blades! The brush was my last acquisition (before my purchase stop, GRUYERE), looks and feels great.

I switched to a new razor and blade combination today: ATT S-1 with a Wizamet blade. The ATT razor is one nice razor and, for me, is a perfect combination of balance, weight, and aggressiveness. I can always count on it to give me a close, smooth shave, and once again it delivered. The brush did a nice job of making a rich slick lather. A nice, smooth perfect shave. Have a great day.
