Returned from camping and showered and shaved this afternoon. This blue carbon blade just feels dull. I have a couple more and maybe I need to get a few shaves on it. The coated blade gives me great shaves around 3 or 4 also. Also knocked out another soap. No real irritation, just not BBS.

7.9/10

Razor: Gillette flare tip super speed
Blade: Voskhod
Brush: Yaqi mountain lake badger
Cream:AOS sandalwood
After shave: Nivea sensitive skin balm

Spent some time today cleaning up this razor so I thought I would give it a try . I had one spot that felt a little irritated but not bad . First time I have used this razor in 15 years and 4th shave on the Voskhod blade . So I'm not complaining. I like the blades well enough to order them in bulk
Next on my clean up list is a bakelite tech
I don't see the super speed being added to my rotation but I am cleaning up razors just incase
 
Razor: ATT Windsor H
Blade: Astra Superior Stainless, 2nd Shave
Soap and AS: B+M Seville.
Brush: The ol' Fatso Super 2
Rating: 9 out of 10
Notes: More of a question. Does anyone find the Astra Sup Stain smoother on the 2nd shave, yet not as sharp? These blades are an enigma to me, and I like the sup platinums. I found myself having to go over the same spots a lot.
All in all, a DFS. Hope you and yours are well.

Soap/Cream: Cella Extra Extra Bio (2 days in a row, more thoughts below)
Post: Thayers WH Aloe
AS: Pinaud Clubman
WTG and ATG for a DFS. Yesterday, I posted in the “What’s your cream for today” with my thoughts on the Cella Extra Extra Bio but wanted to follow up here. I love this cream (in the tub). The light scent is great, it takes plenty of water, the slickness is really nice. This cream has moved into the top 2 or 3 of all of my “shaving soaps”. I just wanted to bring some attention to it, so maybe folks who hadn’t heard of it might find the info interesting. Anyway have a great day.

Looking to change up the rotation I went into the archives last night and pulled out the ball end tech. Tossed in a fresh Personna Red blade and we resulted in a VERY good shave. This thing is smooth, I forgot how smooth. Gonna rock this soap til it's gone and polish off another.
