Been a few days since I posted here cause it's been a few days since I've gotten a shave. Yikes.
Post shower shave Pre shave was some oil from dear barber then a lather using Captain Joes cream, whipped up with my ever ready brush (love this thing) Astra blade as they've become my prefered blade and a gillet black handle flare. Top it all off with a splash of pinauds!

Semogue 620

Personna Platinum
Chatillon Lux TSM Fougère
Stirling Unscented Post Shave Balm

I picked up a new 620 to replace my original one that I've screwed up the knot on. I had it soak for a couple of days and let it dry overnight. Upon drying the hairs started to split. It still killed the lather, which was expected, but it performed so much better. I'll be using it, I think, until next weekend to give it some time to break-in. Sometime in the future I think I'll pull the knot out of the old one and replace it. Does anyone know if Semogue will sell just their knots?

The 92r/Treet dura sharp blade indian made duo paired together superbly, smooth sharp & efficient, the carbon blades seem to work well with my parker razors.

A very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of the new aquired N.M.
