Blade - Shark Super Chrome
Brush - TurnNShave "Cosmos" 26mm Silversynth
Cream - Proraso Green
A/S - Proraso Cypress and Vetiver

A wonderfully basic shave. Needed to get one in fast, so I went with the razor, blade, and cream that I first started wet shaving with. They gave me terrific results. Very nice face lather from the Proraso. The blade was actually quite smooth this time around; probably the reason this was my go-to for the first couple years. A great shave from these old stand-bys.

That brush is gorgeous!

Other than a mild scent, the lather from XXX is actually really thick & creamy. Slickness is quite ok. Can take quite some water too.
Shave with the razor paired with this superb blade was ooooo... smooth and comfortable...auto-cruise! 3 multiple passes without issues. Sharpness of the blade is still ok but compare to initial use now is noticeably less efficient. Razor is top performance!
9.5/10!
