Third shave with the Gillette Platinum (White) today and had a very pleasant morning shave. It felt sharper again on this shave but still very smooth, very similar to the King C blade.
Overall a very nice, irritation free shave with no feedback from the Alum block.

I rarely try ATG on my chin. I do extra XTG in that area and usually on the bottom band of my neck which grows contrary also.

Changing it up, today I am seeing into the future. As soon as the next pot of coffee is ready, I shall ascend the stairs with a mug of coffee. I shall splash my face liberally with hot water, lather the face with MdC Fougere using a Kent BK4, loading for about 3-4 seconds, and take three passes with a seven day old Gillette Silver Blue in an Above the Tie Windsor with a CM1 plate. Next will be the shower. After the shower I'll splash on 4711 cologne as my aftershave, completing the shave which will in all likelihood be perfection. If it does not materialize as foreseen, I shall return and report. Happy shaving!
I got it a couple of months ago but I can’t remember from which vendor/site. I’ll see if I can dig up that info for you.
Now that sounds like a good plan! I hope it lived up to your expectations.
Saturday's shave, my standard two-pass shave, first pass is WTG, second is part XTG and part ATG, with a bit of tidying up, 10/10, a superb shave with a blade on its ninth use:
Pre-shave: shower with Ivory Bar Soap
Razor: Occam's razor- two-dot head- an easy, close shave
Blade: Feather AC Pro (9)- needed a bit more cleaning up than normal, but the result was great
Brush: Yaqi 22 mm two-band badger, my only badger on this trip
Soap: Canada Shave Soap- a rich, softening, and wonderful lather today; 16 shaves in and I'm not making much impression on this puck
.
Post-shave: cold rinse, Fine American Blend AS splash- didn't feel any alcohol burn at all, great face feel now twenty minutes after my shave. I'll be doing some face touching today!
Have a wonderful Saturday!

SE SOTD, May 15th, 2021, New razor and just started dialing the Yaqi Excalibur 50mm in, might take a few shaves, I started out with my AC Kai Protouch blade on (8) shave and it indicated dullness so switched to the AC Feather pro(1) and that made a big difference. I did not feel threatened by the sharper blade but it is a very light razor & I was cautious(1st use). It is indicating from just the first shave a <mid range and indicates a great daily driver for some. I cranked out a excellent shave but still dialing the SE Excalibur in what I can & can not do when buffing. The razor finish and tolerances were adequate and did not turn me off the razor at all. It is just a possibly a good entry level razor if someone that is interested in entering the SE AC blade realm of shaving. First time using a Feather Pro & with the new Yaqi Excalibur razor. First impressions so far are positive and it will be used for at least 7 consecutive days with a daily double on Monday because of Micromatic Mondays.
Razor: The new Yaqi Excalibur AC style 50mm razor- MFG 2021>, nice <mid range razor, easy to maneuver around the face and easy going for the first shave. Light weight and I have other very light SE razors so finding the correct amount of light pressure is still on going.
Blade: Feather Pro AC (1) nice sharp blade, Sharp & smooth, longevity?.
Soap: Razorock Santa Marie del Fiore, nice mild tobacco & vanilla scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi 24mm tuxedo knot with black marble handle, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, great scrub + great lather painter.
Pre Shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 3 + pickups. 2x WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock Santa Marie del Fiore aftershave with witch hazel + a dollop of AVON True Gent balm aftershave.
Results: 9/10 or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers =
excellent shave with my Yaqi Excalibur SE 50mm + a AC Feather Pro.
Have some great shaves! Stay & think safe in these times, light at the end of the tunnel!

A SAturday Slant shave on a 48-hour beard:
Fatip Open Comb Slant/Feather blade (2)
Tabac in stick form
AP Shave Co. synthetic brush
Clubman SR aftershave, Assured lotion, Clubman powder
Last night my power went out at 5 pm. It's not been too hot, so lack of A/C wasn't the problem; it was just that I had no idea when it might be restored. So I packed a bag and headed off to a hotel for one night. However, I didn't bring any razors, so my shave had to wait until I got home, about 45 minutes after my shower there.
Anyway: a face wash with Dial soap, then I applied the Tabac and face-lathered. Pass 1, WTG; pass 2, ATG; pass 3, XTG plus some cleanup. As often happens with this razor, I was as close to BBS as makes no never mind. I dashed on some Proraso Green about half an hour later as a kind of faint cologne, too.
Verdict: 9.8.
