Nameless modern TTO (Weishi (?)) / Personna (1)

My gift from my Secret Santa finally was delivered by Canada Post yesterday, so I am using some today. Photo of haul is below; today's shave stuff is below that:

I was going to use the soap sample first, but when I looked at the name of the tub, I realised it had to be tried today instead... The Omega brush worked well to load product quickly. I face lathered and wound up with lather that was creamy and protective but a little too thick. I think I need to use a shave bowl with this soap for awhile until I get the amount of water it can hold properly dialled in. The scent is a very pleasant mix of lavender and violets.
I think the razor may be a Weishi. It is light but well built. It was surprisingly loud and had a fair degree of blade feel, especially after I had used Techs recently. The blades in the plain wrappers said Personna and Made in the USA, so I think they are Lab Blues. Anyway, it was sharp and smooth in the Weishi. Two passes brought me to BBS, but the alum was a little warm today. I also noticed a drop of blood on my chin. First shave of the year, and I drew blood for the first time in months! I hope this isn't some kind of omen, especially if I play with my shavette later this month...
I will continue with this setup for the rest of the week. Santa was definitely kind this year.
