    Had a 3-day growth, so I dialled the Fatboy to 5. Amazing mowing on the first WTG pass.
    Love the little fat'n'heavy razor. Too bad I have an internal fear of breaking it, so it doesn't get used much.
    Some of this gear is part of my 30-day-focus this month. Love the Omega already, although I still think it's a wee bit big.
    I don't think I'll ever love the MEM. It's perfectly useable, but something about the scent is not appealing to me.
    It's not bad, it just doesn't tick my boxes. Good glide and cushion though.
    Great DFS++ shave.​

    I received this razor yesterday as a pass-around from@youngunn.
    I set it at 7 like I do with my Fat Boy ex DSCF0091.JPG pecting it to feel the same boy was I wrong! this razor has a completely different feel,much lighter,more nimble,don't get me wrong I still love my Fat Boy,but I think I"m gonna have to get one of these! The Shark blade was very smooth on all three passes,it seems to go well with this razor.I will repeat this mornings shave tomorrow .

    Van Yulay Friday
    I think I've dialed in Poseidon the lather this time was richer and creamier because I reduced the amount of water I used when loading. I did get one weeper, but it closed with a cold water rinse. The PSO works better if I give it a couple minutes to do its thing. Three smooth passes with der Futur set on 5.5 and I was ready for a visit to Shuyak Island. I enjoyed the chill so much that I made a second trip to wrap up this shave. A touch of Versace Pour Homme and I'm good to go.

    Prep: Van Yulay PSO
    Soap: Van Yulay Poseidon
    Brush: HIS
    Razor: der Futur
    Blade: Voskhod (3)
    AS: Van Yulay Shuyak Island
    EdC: Versace Pour Homme

    Nice shave this morning. This is part of my ongoing experiment with the 7 o'clock blade and so far so good. Not the smoothest blade, but it is definitely sharp. This was a 2 pass darn fine shave this morning. No complaints. And it Friday! :chores016:

    brothers bristles/ ace black badger
    Art of Shaving Sandalwood
    Eaton 85 Diamond Edge 5/8 full hollow spike
    Crusella& co Sandalo
    today's shave was very good. I've forgotten how nice aos sandalwood is. three passes with the Diamond Edge. much easier, more relaxed shave today. maybe a scosh not as smooth as yesterday, but much comfy'er. finished with Sandalo.
    hope y'all did as well, or better.
