Homelike 95OC-Prismatic/Kai (2). I prefer the more aggressive Homelike plate in its stock configuration but the milder 95 paired with the Prismatic cap I like even better. Still working on the Wool Fat.

Razor - Mergress
Blade - Rapira Platinum
Brush - That Darn Rob "Nocturne" 26mm Fanchurian 2-band
Soap - Sudsy Soapery White Sage & Lime
A/S - Hawaiian Shaving Co Lemon Lavender

I had more stubble to mow down than usual, so I turned the Mergress up to 3.5. Lather was decent; very high-structure, not really dense. I think that's just what you get with the CC bowl. Such a good scent. Went into it with the razor, but the blade was done, and combined with the bigger gap, the shave was a little rough. Had to take diagonal strokes to get a better cut, but it left my upper lip with a bunch of weepers. Some serum and A/S set my face to right, and boy is the shave close.
 
Parker Variant razor
Gillette Nacet blade (4)
PAA Scentsless pre-shave
Eleven Amber, Patchouli, & Oak soap
Semogue 830 boar brush
Doug Smith Pottery shave mug
Osma alum block
Nivea Sensitive aftershave balm
Stirling Glastonbury aftershave

I wanted a more substantial scent despite the hot day. I love patchouli, so this was a great combo.

Estrenando la Merkur baquelita he podido comprobar que esta maquinilla afeita muy bien,le veo un puntito mas de agresividad que las convencionales tipo R89,eso sí en este modelo que pesa escasos 14 grs hay que apretar un poquito para llevarla correctamente ya que pesa muy poco.

El jabón también de estreno,un yá desaparecido Valobra muy justito en propiedades pero excelente espumando,lo veo muy por debajo de su hermano en barrita pero cumplidor.
