Personna (Israeli) reds work well for me!
What did you learn from your last shave?

Hahaha.. lucky you mate, they are nicely priced.. mine however is the complete opposite
They didn't work so good for my S1, I will try them with my Parker 24c. Hopefully it will work better with that razor.

I learned that technique truly trumps everything else out there.
The girls, of course, knew this all along.
I can get a DFS in a hurry with a can of Barbasol that rivals any other shave with any other product. It's good to have something in the den to use for in a pinch
More product= better lather!
I knew that I did not like feather DE blades; now I know the same holds true for their AC blades. 
Watch the razor angle!
I learned that from my blade sampler that I prefer them in the following order:
Feather
Gillette 7OC Super Stainless
Gillette Silver Blue
Voshkod & Red Personna's are basically a tie
Also, after a week of shaves, I'm getting much better lathers from Stirling. Still not as nice as with Mike's, but certainly acceptable.

Proraso white can be slicker. It's not so bad I suppose.
A Feather in a Muhle R41 is like paint stripper for your face.
More product produces a better lather.
Injectors and I get along well! First shave with an I-2 Hydromagic this morning was a smooth cruise, with close, comfortable results.
Permasharp blades are nice!
I learned that a cut down Feather Pro light blade in an old Schick Hydro-Magic razor provides a superior shave-- quicker, closer, with no nicks or razor burn and with less effort than with a Gillette(any type), Weber, Feather, Above The Tie or All the other D/E razors that I have or have used. So easy and so damn good I am truly flabbergasted!
Proraso can almost always take more water. Try more water, and see if the slickness improves.
A single pass shave (atg on neck, wtg on face) really worked for me this morning.
I had the least feedback from my alum block to date.
I also need to hydrate my lather even more. (Either that or I just take so long per pass that that's what's causing it to dry out... Or both... Either, I think I need more hydration still)

During my last shave, I shaved for the first time with Tabac soap.
I learned how awesome Tabac is.
