Razor - Blackland Vector
Blade - Schick Proline
Brush - Giles Shaving 30mm tuxedo
Soap - Ariana & Evans Cafe Au Lait
A/S - Brickell unscented

Great, great shave. The Proline seemed a little sharper and smoother than the Feather Pro, although there was still some tugging. So I tried using a shallower angle during the first pass and back to a more neutral angle for the second, and that seemed to improve it somewhat. I also think that, with the lightness of the head, this razor actually requires a bit of pressure. The brush was phenomenal. A big, dense tux of the really soft variety, and it seemed to keep the lather nice and warm too, which could've been the ceramic handle. Feels great in the hand too, just excellent all around. A&E never disappoints; an absolutely supreme lather, SO much lather too. Boy was this a fun shave. My face is so smooth right now and my complexion is nice and clear.

Soap: Stirling Sandalwood sample
Brush: La Maison du Barbier synth
Razor: Gillette N2 1968 Slim, setting 8
Blade: Astra SP (#3)
Post: Alum followed by Clubman Reserve Brandy Spice aftershave

Eh, not so good tonight. Not sure whether it was the lather or moving to setting 8 on the Slim, but some alum feedback and neck irritation were my reward for the attempt. Onward to tomorrow!
