Brush: Made Rite with APShaveCo 2BED synthetic knot
Razor: Henson v2 mild
Blade: Suneko Platinum (3)
Post: Sudsy Soapery Unscented Balm

I love the lather from the Sudsy Soapery soap, always thick and slick. This third shave from the Suneko blade was smooth and comfortable, although I could detect a slight reduction in sharpness.

Post: Southern Witchcrafts Incorporeal Unscented Aftershave Splash

I used a new Suneko blade today on 2 1/2 days of beard growth. The first pass with the grain was a bit harsh even though I was thinking carefully about not applying any pressure. I didn't get any irritation, though. The second pass across the grain was more comfortable, and I did a partial third pass, as I typically do, going lightly across the grain the grain in the other direction in my moustache area -- not that I have one, but the place where it would be if I did and on my chin. I ended up with a smooth, close result, without any irritation. The Southern Witchcrafts splash is nice soothing post shave, with no alcohol, so there was no sting.

I didn't like the harshness of the first pass. As I recall, the previous Suneko was a bit harsh the time it was used, and then was nice and smooth for several shaves afterward.

Today, I tried a Suneko blade for the first time and I was impressed by how sharp and smooth it was. I highly recommend them. Here was the setup for this morning’s shave.
