Cracking shave. The Kent brush loaded easily from the triple-milled soap, reulting in lovely lather.
 
Been away for a few days, using this razor and blade, but with a couple of samples.

As I felt a little left out, bought the Fat! I thought that today would definitely be a Fat Friday in February!

The Bolzano blade has been pretty decent for the last few days, this was my third shave, DFS with 2 passes each time.

I must say that despite having fairly hard water, I haven't had any issues getting a lather off the MWF. Listening to the advice people have given, I use cold water for shaving anyway, loaded a bit more than usual and then added extra water to my boar brush. Perfect.

Have a decent start to the weekend folks!
