Razor - GSC Espresso
Blade - Tatra Platinum
Brush - Simpson's Chubby 2 27mm super badger
Soap - Siliski Soaps Citrus
A/S - Barrister & Mann C2

This just confirms for me, Siliski Soaps is one of the best vegan soap bases there is, if not the best I've encountered. The lather is not just superb for a vegan soap; it's superb for any kind of soap. So thick, creamy, shiny, and slick. And holy moley do I love this scent. Finishing it off with C2 was unreal. The Tatra performed great in the Espresso, giving me a smooth, comfortable shave that ended up being nice and close.

Post: Alum followed by Lucky Tiger

Another round of the Marco Method tonight and again great lather--not quite as good as the last two shaves, but miles apart from what I'd been getting the prior six weeks. Was curious to see how it would work with a synthetic and while maybe a tad soupier to start the second pass it formed up quickly again once I started to work it.

First use of Lucky Tiger and I like it. Not at all what I was expecting, but very nice!
