Cool and slimy
Blackland Blackbird Safety Bar x Gillette 7 o'clock Super Platinum (Black)
Cella Crema Da Barba All'Olio di Mandorla (because today every item has a long name…)
Old Spice Slugger

Early shave for me today, but yesterday I was so tired I forgot shaving.

Extremely cushioned blade, the first shave with it could use a bit more sharpness, particularly with the Blackbird SB. Unlike the Blackbird OC this one requires some corrections after ATG/WTG passes, but they are all pleasant and the razor is easy to use. After the shave I had zero irritation, I didn't feel getting a hit from the alcoholic "Slugger" after shave.

Now both Blackbird OC and SB are outstanding, you might guess it… Shane, owner of Blackland, just has to say "Blackbird DC/dual comb" and my thrown wallet might knock him out a second later.

Next shave: Presumably Wunderbar + Gillette 7 o'clock Black. I am curious how this other favorite razor of mine does with the Gillette Super Platinum. I suspect it might rather ask for a BIC or Feather, but let's see!
