I get a nice close shave with these two

 

Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: Omega 11137 Boar
Soap: Salters Tallow
Razor: MIL Industries OC (pass around)
Blade: Astra SP
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Pashana AS

As others have said the finish on this razor isn't great, lots of burring between the teeth on the underside of the baseplate.
Definitely not a £70 razor, though I understand you can pick them up for £20 on eBay.
The blade aligns up evenly and is held securely and the shave was pretty efficient and smooth but my skin feels slightly uncomfortable.
I suspect this is due to the very heavy (3 5/8oz) handle and I'll try it with a different one next time.
The Pashana aftershave is really growing on me, the very old school scent is like comfort food for the olfactory receptors.
Have a great Sunday.
