Razor: Razorock BBS
Blade: Astra SP
Brush: Semogue 1305
Soap: Stirling Baker Street
Post-shave: Proraso Green Aftershave Balm

Fourth shave with the BBS. This one felt a little harsh...not sure if it was the blade (4th shave with the same blade) or the angle I was using. Results were still good, and there was no visible irritation, but not as pleasant as the first three shaves.

Prep: Neutrogena Razor Defense face scrub
Soap: RazoRock/HTGAM The Beach!
Brush: Omega B&B Essential boar
Razor: Gillette Slim
Blade: Gillette Rubie, #3 and banked
Post: alum -> hyaluronic acid -> Suavecito Bay Rum aftershave

Hadn't gotten around to banking the Rubie after last night's shave as intended, so when I rolled up the Slim I thought, "What the heck." Two-passes (setting 4 then 1) + touch-ups for DFS with a very small patch of CCS in my usual problem area. Essentially zero feedback and no irritation for a really good shave tonight. The Slim = :001_wub:
