Another nice shave tonight, although a moment of lost concentration resulted in a small slice in the middle of my neck. A cold rinse and some alum took care of it.
I think I'll go back to the Sextoblade for my next shave. Because of the Sextoblades bigger size I find it easier to shave with.

Swapped out the blade for a new one tonight. The result. One small weeper on the right side of the chin. Still a nice shave though.

These Personna blades are real sharp. Even with a few days growth, they cut easily through my beard.

Really nice shave tonight.
One small weeper below the nose, but it stopped with the cold water rinse.
This razor looks like a Hair shaper but it's the same size as a Sextoblade and has the Caduceus on the scales.
Some people find this razor to heavy and unbalanced, but lucky for me it seems fine. It'll take a few more shaves before I pass final judgement.

All my shaves with the Wecks I've tried so far have been getting better, closer and more fun.
Today's shave was DFS and really comfortable. One small dot of blood on the chin which stopped with the cold water rinse.

Best shave yet.
2 passes WTG/ ATG and a few touch ups on neck, closest shave I've had with any shavette I've ever tried. I think I've found my perfect razor. As always YMMV.

Very smooth shave tonight.
No wheepers, irritation or cuts.
Although the Sextoblade is lighter than the Med Prep it's very well balanced. Next shave will be with the wee Hair Shaper.

Very enjoyable shave today.
No irritation or wheepers, and very little feedback from the Alum or aftershave. The hair shaper is a bit awkward to use because of its size, still a great shaver though.
I added some diluted menthol crystals to the TGS Orange Empire, nice and refreshing on a warm day. The scent on this isn't sweet it smells more like Orange peel.
As ever the Tabac tallow came through in spades.

Nice shave tonight.
I've definitely been bit by the Weck bug. I'm enjoying traditional wet shaving more than ever. Tonight's shave was a drama free DFS+, I could have went for BBS, but it usually comes with the price of irritation, so I didn't bother.

Looking forward to my next shave. I'll probably switch the either the Hair Shaper or Med Prep.
I'm just waiting on a Sextoblade with transparent scales to come up to buy for the right price, I'm in no rush I'm a patient man.

Razor: Weck Med Prep
Blade: Kismet Hair Shaper , 1st use
Brush: Paladin Sumo
Soap: Declaration Grooming Sellout Croap
Aftershave: Declaration Grooming Sellout Aftershave
Fragrance: Paco Rabanne Invictus EdT
First ever use of any type of Straight Razor. Figured I would use it today since I have the next 3 days off just in case it was a blood bath. Luckily only a couple of nicks on my neck. This is going to be a fun journey.
I’ve really been enjoying boar brushes as of late. I used the new to me Paladin Sumo and the handle is comfortable and the boar knot was soft after a 10 minute soaking
The soap was also new to me DG Sellout is the closest dupe I have found, as the description says “Smells like a scent that rhymes with shmaventus”. The lather is thick, back dat *** up thick. I do not plan on adding the small bottle of menthol to the splash, I don’t think it needs it.

And then there was 2.
Welcome aboard @Russ622. If your journey is as fun as mine has been your in for a treat. Well done on your first shave,you did a great job.
Looking forward to your future posts. And welcome to the wonderful world of Wecks.
Thanks Dave. I’m gonna give my neck a couple of days to heal up. But I plan on using it again on Wednesday. I need to work on my technique for sure but also know a need a much more hydrated lather.
