Razor: RazoRock Voonderbar
Blade: Astra SP (3)
Brush: Omega 10005
Soap: Arko
Pulled out the Superslant's talented but grumpy cousin for this week. I was feeling like I needed some mindfulness practice.
It was a good shave, though I can instantly see some differences in technique beween the Wunderbar and the Superslant. Mostly in shave angle; the WB liked it a little more on the cap.
O.H.

Game Changer .84 OC / BIC
One of my earliest SS razors, with the Super Knurl handle. Its efficiency is still hard to beat. It requires some more skill not to get injured and to get a perfect shave than my Timeless Slim OC though, but causes possibly less skin irritation, as one doesn't get into the scraping habit one can possibly develop with the Timeless Slim. Because that's what it excels at.
The JAWS plate doesn't get necessarily better regarding the result, but adds extra aggression. Maybe next time.
Unsolved mystery: A Lupo DC and even a clone of that exists, but there was never a Game Changer Dual Comb so far.

Nothin' fancy; EJ DE89 and Gillette 7 O'Clock Black. Never fails to provide a nice smooth shave...
