9.5/10 Trying some new things and got nearly as good as it can get with two passes. First try with a sample of Baume.be cream was a fail, today worked great. And, getting to know the new Jagger STF which is the first non-badger brush I am truly enjoying.

Razor: Gillette Fat Handle Tech
Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum (12)
Brush: Omega 10049 Pro Boar
Bowl: Daiso Bowl
Pre: Proraso Red Pre-shave Cream
Cream: Cremo Reserve Blend
Post: Proraso Red Aftershave
Balm: Proraso Blue Balm
Beard: Proraso Cypress and Vetyver

Rating: 8/10 - DFS but has to do a lot of blade buffing to get the performance I wanted. Also, the Cremo Cream isn't meant for lathering. Sad. But overall a decent shave with no irritation, just wasn't as fun to do as normal.
