RAZOR: Sabi 3 Piece Extra Heavyweight - Gold tone (4 inch handle, 4 ounces)- a medium aggressive razor for me.
BLADE: Dorco Platinum ST-300
PRE SHAVE: - Tri Coastal Design White Birch & Tobacco Shave Butter.
SHAVE CREAM: The Art of Shaving - Lavender Essential Oil - for Sensitive Skin - face lather
BRUSH: Shea Moisture Ultimate Shave Brush - badger
AFTER SHAVE: Clubman Lilac Vegetal / Clubman Vanilla
BALM: Maison the Collection Vanilla Lavender Lotion

This Sabi Extra Heavyweight has been my go to DE for over 6 years. It is very enjoyable to use.
This razor has some good blade exposure and provides good feedback - similar to a hollow ground straight edge in sound and feel. It's cool.

Achieved a 2+ pass BBS shave. Very comfortable face feel. No issues.
Love the smell of the White Birch & Tobacco. Wish I could buy a case of this stuff.
My AOS shave cream is old, but performs well. It seems harder (more like a croap) than I thought, so... I face lathered it like a soap.
Finish with the Clubman iconic scent AS's layering the Lilac Vegetal & Vanilla - sweet.

This was a really enjoyable shave. I was almost sorry that it had to end.

Pre-shave: Hot shower
Shaving Cream: Barbasol Pacific Rush applied by hand
Razor: vintage bullet tip Micromatic
Blade: Gem Stainless (4)
Post-Shave: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Nivea balm, Jovan AS / Cologne

I was in a big hurry today, still wanted to shave so opted for a quick application of lather and re-application by hand. Surprisingly, this Gem Stainless blade is still working for me... normally I get two shaves and I'm done. I plan to push this blade for another shave and see how it does.

Hope everyone had a great day! Enjoy tomorrow!

Razor - Hone 15A
Blade - Voshkod
Brush - jayaruh 171
Soap - mystic water - Vetiver oak moss

First off this razor is cool looking. It's also very light and looks incredibly space age. When I received it, I immediately thought it looked textured and it would hamper the shave. Well it's not textured but it did feel like it during the shave. Now it could of been the soap, but I don't think so. There seemed to be drag during to whole shave and it was the craziest feeling. I didn't quite get the feel for it due to the drag and I'm going to continue to work with it. The razor seems to be very mild, I didn't feel the blade at all and there were no nicks or weepers and In the end I had done 5 passes. The aftershave stung quite a bit and it was from over shaving as usual. All my passes were atg with a final clean up of xtq.
