Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Tony Forsyth P&C LE 2017 Platypus High Mountain White Badger
Soap: Czech & Speake No 88
Razor: Blackland Blackbird
Blade: NOS Super Iridium BN-84 (5)
Post: Chatillon Lux Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli Toner / Musgo Real Aftershave Balm
Scent: None

I'd lusted after the Czech & Speake soap for some time, and was particularly curious about the aluminium dish. Price was always the issue, but when I spotted one recently on sale, I pulled the trigger. Firstly, the black aluminium dish is very impressive - weighty and beautifully made. I expected the soap performance to be top shelf, given the Valobra base, and was not disappointed. My only issue is that the scent, whilst very nice, was not as strong as I prefer.
In contrast, the scent strength of the Chatillon Lux Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli Toner was amazing - as strong as some of my colognes. Fortunately, it is a wonderful scent - I have the matching DG soap and it is one of my favourites.
Three passes and a couple of clean-up strokes for a BBS result. I continue to be impressed with this Polish blade.

‘65 Tech
Rapira PL (3)
Omega Boar
Cella
Proraso Sandalwood AS

Good shave!
This blade is slightly rough and not up to the level of an Astra SS but does a decent job. The Cella makes up for this defect. I will take it to 6 or 7 shaves, maybe in an Adjustable for the last couple of them. They are a good blade especially for their inexpensive cost. I have no complaints.
