Saturday, 9/12:
Razor - PAA copper Ascension
Blade - Feather
Brush - Mojo Handcrafts 26mm Declaration B9A
Soap - Declaration Grooming Marooned
A/S - Brickell unscented
Man, that was the best shave so far with the Ascension. It's so smooth, and so is my face. The soap has a really nice kinda gourmand type scent; it reminds me of chocolate and raspberry. The brush did its thing, and the lather was exceptional. Not a bit of irritation today, just a terrific shave.

With it being my "other-razor/non-training" day, out came my somewhat neglected Mühle R41 (and a fresh Feather to make it happy).
Normally I would have shimmed it to stiffen up the blade for the ATG pass. But I remembered Rudy @rudyt saying there's no need for modifications if your technique is up to scratch (that was a while back).
So, being very technique minded with all this training stuff I'm doing, I thought "go for it." And... an excellent result, not to mention a great shave, was the outcome. Thanks Rudy, you're the man!

Brush: Semogue 22/49 Targa-C3 Finest Mistura

Blade: Feather (1)
ASL: Proraso Red
A great shave.
My new Semogue Mistura was even better today (on its second outing).

First shave with 1930 Gillette Long Comb
Blade - Feather
Brush - Edwin Jagger Super Badger
Preshave - Proraso White
Soap - The Fat
Postshave - Alum Block
Aftershave Balm - Nivea for Sensitive Skin
Gillette sure knew what they were doing back in 1930. That razor is close and smooth. I could have stopped after two passes...of course I didn’t. I got sloppy on pass three and ended up with three weepers.
