Soap - Tabac Stick
Razor - Old Type
Blade - Lancet Super Platinum (5)
Post - Witch Hazel/Nivea Balm
AS - Signature Soaps Danum
For today's shave I soaked my Omega 10075 for a few minutes longer (for around 5 minutes the day before) and the brush definitely splayed a little better with the bristles being more pliable whilst building a lather and it seemed to do the trick, the brush had enough scrub and was a little easier to build a lather with.
The LSP had run out of steam in the Souplex Bakelite, so I put the blade into a slightly more efficient razor and it was a delightfully smooth and comfortable shave today.

I have had an exceptionally busy month. I’ve shaved 8 times this month due work and family obligations. I have stuck to my fixed four.
Using the FOCS I can get away with shaving every other day which has been good lately. When I use it daily, I can literally do a one pass ATG and have DFS.
Tabac ranks right up there with Arko.
The Astra SP’s do not hold up well to 2 days growth on my beard. Once I finish what I have left, I went but any more.
Happy October y’all.

Razor - Old Type
Blade - Lancet Super Platinum (6)
Post - Witch Hazel
AS - Ben's Bay Rum w/Pimento
It's taken a while to get used to using the Omega 10075, and I think that it is a few steps further down the road for its break in its easier to build a lather with and now it comfortably holds enough lather for 2 passes and clean up. The blade and razor performed really well, the Old Type is one of the mildest razors I own and with the right blade it produces one of the most comfortable shaves of any razor I own. From an extended run for using Tabac I've grown to appreciate how great the lather is during the shave, and how fantastic the post shave feel is, my face feel incredibly soft and moisturized when I was applying the splash.
A great shave today.

Twelve days in with the Tabac/M&F Finest/Kamijo SR combo. I am getting faster and longer passes
with only the occasional nick and less burn. I think by the end of the month, I will really have the
Kamijo wired.

Had a bit of an mishap on my jawline, and a tad bit of irritation. I'm not a fan of the Persona Reds, and the Jaws takes more work than the Fatip does for me. Still, not a bad shave, I've had worse.
