MÜHLE Rocca R96
Gillette Silver Blue
YaQi Space Silvertip
Frankincense & Myrrh

First trial with a Gillette Silver Blue in this razor and...wow. Simply, wow. I didn't feel any hair cutting. This razor and blade combo deftly whisked through every whisker. The slickness of this soap helped with a wetter-than-my-usual lather. I'm thoroughly enjoying using this razor...
Dab of Prep Aftershave Balm (thanks again @pjgh), which emanates a mild 'Vaporub' type smell and I'm chilly, not tacky, smooth, fresh as a daisy and good to go. This was a belter of a shave.
