I had places to be …
RR SLOC
Polsilver Super Iridium
Alba Very Emolient Coconut Lime cream
Clubman Citrus Musk
9.25/10
Low score only because it was a two pass shave so it’s just not as close as I’d get with my normal routine. The Alba was fine as far as brushless creams. It goes in clear so you have to pay a little attention where you’ve been, or if you are like me you just have the muscle memory down to hit everything you need to. Nice scent and it matched well with the Clubman Citrus Musk. Absolutely no mishaps using this combo. Great to have when you need a two minute shave.

@Shaun asleep- hope your daughter is better soon; it's so sad when the little ones are ill.
October 3rd shave- a quick single pass with minimal buffing resulted in a nice 8/10, CCS shave; no irritation, no mishaps:
Razor: Feather AS-D2
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium (5)
Lather: MdC Agrumes- simply delightful
Brush: Omega Jade boar- a great brush for me
Post: Cold rinse, then some Captain's Choice Lime to finish nicely
Have a great week!

Two and a half passes this morning, for a solid DFS. The Cypress & Vetyver perfectly complements L'eau Boisée! Shave on!

Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum
Brush: PAA Peregrino G5B
Soap: Stirling Executive Man
Bowl: Fine Accoutrements
Pre shave: Hot shower and lather scrub
Aftershave: Stirling Executive Man
Finish Scent: Stirling Executive Man EDT
2pass shave with some neck buffing.
Very close shave but the buffing came at a slight comfort cost. Feeling a little chapped.
Some Nivea Men cream will help a lot in a little while.
I find the G5B knot absolutely amazing. I can't find a reason not to love this brush.

Lather was a little dry on the first pass. Didn't really pay so much in blood/irritation but it certainly hindered face feel a bit.
Other than that great shave. I keep opening up a scab on my adams apple from a few days ago. One day I'll learn. Maybe tomorrow? Lol.
9/10.
Â
For today's shave I used three razors. I started with a Claymore Evolution then enjoyed a final pass with the Merkur Futur at #5.5. That left nowhere for stubble to hide. I also needed an OC razor to shave the back of my neck. One of my Gillette Old Types had a blade loaded, so I grabbed that. 10/10 for a pleasant evening shave.
