'57 Flare Tip SS
Treet Durasharp Carbon
C&E BBB
P.160
Alum Block
TSD Spring Equinox AS Splash

I'm not crazy about the scent of P.160, but it lathers easily and shaves great. My face is now healed form the Grafton and Feather incident, so next shave I'll try one of the two blade I'm yet to try (Derby or DORCO 301).

 

Wednesday

Slant
Dorco ST-301
VDH Deluxe Soap
Omega Chrome Handle Boar

The Dorco St-301 is a much sharper blade then its brother St-300. A very satisfying and smooth shave for a cold morning.
