Razor - Razorock Mamba 70
Blade - Astra SP
Brush - Wild West Brushworks "Sage" 26mm SHD 2-band
Soap - PAA Big Shave S'West
A/S - OneBlade balm

WOW this razor is smooth! Razorock makes great razors, I have to say. The PAA was phenomenal. I probably wasn't optimizing it before, because it is top-shelf stuff for sure. SO much residual slickness, wow. This scent is killer too. The razor just skated through the lather, and the shave is smooth, clean, and comfortable.

MMMonday, Sept28,2020- Today using one of my other A.S.R Corporation razors, change up!

Razor: Everready 1912- MFG in England 1936-53, one of the best handles to hold for grip and it's a 1912 a perfect razor to own.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE(3)- Excellent blade in all aspects, sharp, longevity, smooths out nicely & predictable +cost per/shave is on par with most DE blades IMO.
Soap: Razorock Lavender- one of my favorites-manly scent IMO.
Brush: Yaqi tuxedo knot 24mm syn- Sagrada Familia named after a famous Cathedral in Barcelona Spain I once visited
Pre shave: Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera Gel on beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock King Louis aftershave with witch Hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm, a nice way to end a excellent shave.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers = :a17: Excellent shave with my ER 1912, great way to start the day.

Personna used to be one of my favorites in the Gillette Slim Adjustable, but I haven't used one in a little while, and have never tried one in the Timeless .68. They aren't as smooth as Bolzano, GSB, or Wizamet, but holy heck on a cracker did I get a close shave! The aftershave let me know the price I paid for such a close shave, but other than that I don't see any other irritation.
