High performance shave. The #164 is a very efficient razor and can get everywhere with ease with a slightly aggressive feel. But I'm not a fan of the thin ball end handle they come with. The super grippy just the right size RR Barber Pole handle just turned this Goodwill into a high performance muscle car.

I bought two other RazoRock handles but I can't stop using the barber pole I love it so much.
 
1908 Gillette Single Ring / Colgate / AV Splash -- 8-day growth, so I'd normally use a SR because they work so well against long growth, but my master bath suffered a plumbing leak a week ago which will keep it out of service for a while and my SR stuff is scattered everywhere, so I grabbed the next best thing. For me, nothing beats a thin cap Gillette Old Type (or Micromatic OC) to take down any length of beard growth; it's the "Honey Badger" of razors (i.e., Honey Badger don't care!).
