Soap: Wholly Kaw Almond
Post: Alum & Thayers Witch Hazel
EDT: L'Occitaine Cade

The jury is still open as far as I am concerned with the first time use of this razor. The light plastic handle did not help my case. I also want to try it again with more concentration on the angle required. An aggressive little madam that I am sure can bite but I am blemish free today.
Light irritation to my neck from the Alum and the final outcome was certainly not the best shave I have ever had. DFS overall from a 3 pass shave.

Brush is not shedding as much but still lost a few hairs and the soap felt a little sticky on the face between passes.
Again I need to dial it in better for my next use.

Finished off with the Cade that matched quite well with the soap.

Enjoy your shaves! :)

Tuff Red A/S lotion

Used my Travel cream today as a change. This time I bowl lathered as when travelling I load the brush directly, it really provides a good lather but it's best attribute is that it provides superb glide. The Shave was very smooth and comfortable, and also extremely close all round. Am now of a mind to carry on wth this combo for a while as the blade seems full of life.

Razor: Razorock Baby Smooth (Titanium version)

Brush: TGN Finest/Stirling handle
Bowl: Little Wren Pottery
Soap: Pre de Provence No 63
Post: Thayers witch hazel and Pre de Provence No 63 AS balm.

Another day, another parcel of goodies from @Acer89.
The Razor and brush are on loan from James, thanks you champ.

The Brush was lovely to use. Great backbone, just how I like it and worked the soap into a great lather in no time.

No issues with the razor either. Easy to fine the correct cutting angle and was deceptively efficient.

The soap and balm were good and the scent is very nice. Apparently it's based on YSL L'Homme.

My face is feeling a little irritable/ tingly. I'll have to try the soap again with a different razor and see how it fares next time.

Not bad for a shave of firsts though.

Laters

The ATT R2 (on loan from @Blackmass - cheers Rob), really is a mean machine, the whiskers don't stand a chance. Got the alum block out to check and a wee bit tingly around the chin but as I get more acquainted with the R2, I'm hopeful that'll improve.
@Digimonkey, this almost broke the Petrometer, an unbelievable 99.97 Petrifs. That's as smooth as the quartz, being polished continuously, by the cascading waters of the Angel Falls.

Agree on the R2 plate @Boru62 - for me it is shaves almost as close as the H2 plate, but with much more comfort.
