I am going with a different razor today: my Mergress XL. I loaded the razor with a Wizamet blade – my last one. When I learned that Polsilver Super Iridium was being discontinued I purchased several tucks of the Wizamet version. Fortunately, I have a few tucks of the Polsilver blades in my stash. I used another badger brush today: the Zenith Manchurian. The Zenith in my opinion is a fantastic brush. It’s dense but soft. The Razor Rock soap was used for the ninth consecutive day. A perfect shave. Have a wonderful day, folks.
 
Sunday Shave Bacchanalia

Switched back to the Feather Kamisori - noticeably heavier with a larger head geometry than the Wood Handle one.
I'm trying to decide what razor/blade combo I'm going with for Austere August.
Let's see what tomorrow morning brings. Switching to a Feather ProGuard Blade.

Razor: Feather SS Kamisori
Blade: Kai ProTouch MG (10X)
Lather: Taylor of Old Bond Street Zesty Lime
Brush: AP ShaveCo 24mm PURE BLISS Knot
Post Shave: Alcolado Glacial Splash

Post Shave: Pinaud Citrus Musk Aftershave

July 28, 2024 Sunday shave

Razor: Lambda Athena, bronze
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (1)
Soap: Proraso green
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Silvertip badger
Bowl: Captain's Choice heavyweight copper
Post shave: Omega alum block, Thayer's Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Mennen Skin Bracer

A late shave today, but a good shave. The Athena delivered an easy and super close result. The Personna Lab Blue is a blade to consider for the Athena if other blades are rough. It seems the Lab Blue is well matched to the Athena, at least in my book. It was a terrific shave!
