Razor: Razorock Wunderbar slant- Mfg 2017> mid range> can be a bit more aggressive , use a lite touch and it works excellently. Blade: Gillette Astra SP(6) excellent blade, Sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity and a good bargain IMO. Soap: Tabac, mild flowery clean scent with excellent lather qualities, I like it a little more wet than other soaps, water hog. Brush: Yaqi Tuxedo knot 24 mm "Sagrada Familia" excellent lather creator, very soft tips, good back bone for a gentle scrub. Pre Shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area. Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG+ pickups. Post shave: Fine fresh Vetiver with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm. Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with RR Wunderbar + a Gillette Astra blade.

Sliced a pimple that I didn't notice on my jawline, like a katana passing through hot butter. Asides that accident, a very good, really close shave. 9/10.
Fantastic razor and blade combination! Plus, Stirling Deep Blue Sea as it's companion can't be beat. Beautiful scent, easy to lather and wonderful slickness and cushion! Bravo to Rod and Melanie on this soap.

Razor - Above the Tie Atlas R1 Blade - Astra SP Brush - WCS Infinity "Night Swamp" 26mm 3-band finest Soap - Sudsy Soapery Pine & Cedar A/S - Proraso Cypress & Vetiver
Another amazing shave from this fine tool. Sudsy Soapery makes a ridiculously slick lather, and between that and this razor/blade combo, the stubble didn't stand a chance. And again, my face feels like it was never scraped, just silky smooth. A+
