Prep: Face wash with antibacterial soap
Razor: Viking Chieftain
Brush: Omega 11126
Blade: Feather (Blade #1)
Soap: Van der Hagen deluxe Using rain water and salsa bowl
A / S: Old Spice Classic
Rating: 10.0 /10.0 BBS This was my first shave with a Feather in this razor. The result was a very smooth shave, with no stubble. I only had one weeper from planning off a puppy nip scab.
Rating: 9/10
Soap: Cella Almond (red container)
Brush: Fendrihan Badger
Razor: Fatip Nobile Tuxedo
Blade: Derby Usta (2)
AS: Bootlegger's Bay Rum
Good shave today, a couple of minor weepers caused by the driver being overzealous. I am finding that the Derby Usta is good for two to three shaves before having to replace. Anyway, that's my mileage...YMMV. Cella is a dream...lathers quickly and abundantly, quality creamy rich lather that provides plenty of slickness...smells like cherry/almond to boot!
Bootlegger's Bay Rum is like the cherry on top.
Happy Shaves!

I have been on an unscented soap hunt. I did a trial with Williams and that kinda prompted this. I purchased 3 or so unscented from Stirling. So far of the two I have tried I like Electric Sheep more. It make my face feel different. I may have to venture down a mutton tallow journey at some point. Fresh Yellow in the 40's style SS today. Some Nick's with the new blade. My face does that with fresh blades sometimes. Nothing some cold water didn't handle.

Second shave with a GSB. Much better shave than its first outing. Sharp and smooth (although possibly not as smooth as the 7 O'Clock Yellow was on shave 2). Nice close shave with no real irritation or feedback from the alum block (other than areas that were still a bit irritated from its last outing). Minimal tugging on final XTG/ATG pass leaving BBS cheeks. Although I don't think it was quite as smooth as the 7 O'Clock Yellow it felt a touch sharper.

Today's shave starts off with Grooming Dept.'s Asinus soap with a B&B Essential Boar Brush. The razor is my Wolfman SS SB WR2 1.05 loaded with a Wizamet Super Iridium blade. After my four pass shave, the aftershave was some Thayers Rose Petal WH followed by Clubman. The fragrance was GFT Sandalwood which I need to replace soon.
A good shave. 10/10.

WTG, XTG & ATG. Minor touch-up.

The Fatip Lo Storto Originale impresses me more and more with each shave. Incredible razor.
Close, comfortable, effortless - a pleasure from start to finish.
Wonderful shave!
I have a Mondial Boar (Antica Barberia version) arriving on Saturday, looking forward to use it once I get it prepped!

Blade: Gillette Perma-Sharp Super
Brush: Semogue 830 Boar
Cream: Captain’s Choice Nor’Easter
Post: Thayers WH Aloe
AS: Mennen Skin Bracer
Shave/Result: 3 pass (2 WTG and 1 ATG) for a BBS. BBS is easier to achieve as I’m growing out a Goatee so my problem area (chin and just under chin-jawline area) don’t require shaving. The CC Nor’Easter and Semogue 830 are a personal favorite pairing for me, the soft tips, splay, and great cream provide a rich, slick lather that feels and performs great. Have a great day, Tim

Rating: 8.5
This morning's shave on two and a half days of growth. Difficult near-BBS after a WTG/XTG/ATG shave with lots of buffing needed for stubble cleanup. No irritation, but two nicks.
Shave #2 with this Feather blade was unimpressive; it appears to have lost all its sharpness already.

Congratulations on your new brush.
If my first use of this particular Mondial Boar is any indication, break-in will be very quick.
Very nice looking!!
