Feather Popular
Spicy Shave Gel from PLum Island for pre shave (I do not like it as a primary shave lubricant so I try to use it up as a pre shave)
VDH luxury soap
CLUBMAN PINNAUD after shave (I love that stuff!)
Captains Choice balm
Been a while so I grabbed the Feather Popular. When I broke 1 razor I got the feather and only had the Feather Popular for a while. I got to where I thought I liked it fairly well. Comfortable and close enough. I must have forgot the magic angle. I was in a bit of a hurry, but that thing has no audible feedback, no blade feel, it was plenty comfortable but too much guessing trying to figure out if I am cutting anything LOL. Ended up a little patchy but not bad. I NEED some feed back and I wanna FEEL that blade haha.

Face lather and it was great! Add water slowly and soap bloom into great lather. So aromatic this pipe tobacco...sweet!
Shave with this new razor paired with this blade was really nice...mild feel but deceptively mild it seems. During atg pass multiple weepers occurs perhaps due to unconscious pressure.
Total 3+1pass wtg, xtg & atg and pickup atg. BBS but for the weepers would have been perfect. Rating today only 8/10

Razor: Razorock Mamba.70
Blade: Derby Premium Black
Brush: Razorock Big Bruce
Lather: Razorock Lavender
Aftershave: Epsilon Blue Mediterranean
Additional Care: Razorock Alumn / Every Man Jack Face Lotion
Rating: 8

Switched gears today from the Blackland Dart to the Mamba.70 and honestly, it made me appreciate the Dart that much more. I kept looking in the mirror wondering if I was shaving at all! 3 passes WTG, XTG, ATG and quite a bit of touch up. DFS. But even with a good shave, it doesn't come close to the Dart.
I've used the Mamba.70 with a lot of different blades. It is not a bad razor but is just too mild. My GC .68 is way more efficient. So it's out of rotation. Not sure if I'll use it again. My wife has hinted she wants to try a DE razor to shave her legs so I'll let her try it. If not it'll probably go on BST

1967 Super Speed
Used GSB blade from another razor
Hot towel prep. 2 Times for 30 seconds
A gob of Pro Shave left in hot water (it holds together) applied with Yaqi small synthetic
Prep cream applied with same brush
My 50/50 combo of Cryogen and Spanish AV
A 10 shave. Doesn't get better
ps: blade not as sharp as the Nacet but definitely safer.

7 of 10 some weepers. Could be that 6 is too aggressive or could be the Silver Blue Blade. Not Sure.
Tomorrow will keep everything the same just move down to setting 3 for the complete shave.
