Prep: Country Life Tallow/Lanolin/Glycerin Soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Paladin Lava Flow Select Badger
Razor: Wolfman WR1
Soap: Declaration Grooming Massacre of the Innocents
Blade: Vintage NOS Personna P74 (25)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel, Declaration Grooming Massacre of the Innocents Aftershave Lotion
Scent: Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve Cologne

I really enjoy the scent of Massacre of the Innocents - just right for chilly Perth evenings. The tobacco scent lingers in the bathroom long after the shave.
Well, the vintage Personna P74 blade is still shaving beautifully on its 25th outing. The performance of these blades really do hold up to their reputation. I feel I could easily stretch it out for another couple of weeks, but I am getting impatient to switch to another blade for variety .

SOTD - Thursday June 9, 2022 - Kai Blade Debut

Razor: 1953 Gillette Ball End Tech
Blade: Kai (1)
Brush: WCS Two-Tone Tall Synthetic 26mm
Pre-Shave: CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser Bar, Cremo Classic Shave Cream
Soap: Stirling Sharp Dressed Man
Aftershave: Lucky Tiger After Shave, Duke Cannon A/S Balm
Growth: 95 hours
Passes: WTG, XTG, ATG, touchup
Rating: 10/10

Results: For the debut shave with the Kai blade, I shaved with my oldest razor. Sharp blade, mild razor is the winning formula. Word on the streets is that the extra wide Kai blade is a good blade to boost efficiency & blade feel on a mild razor. Hat tip to @Ron R for his recommendation & advocacy of the Kai blade. Thank you! The Kai blade lived up to its winning reputation. Sharp & smooth. With 4 days growth, Kai & my mild vintage razor, delivered a BBS result. Great Shave!
