Granuaile from Murphy and McNeil is starting to grow on me. I also have an error in this photo. I photographed the UK made London Bridge wrapper, but actually had the modern Gillette version loaded in the Yaqi Flipside razor. I think I like the vintage UK version better, but the Gillette one is not a bad blade. I had a very pleasant shave with it today.

I’ve been mainly working through Proraso Red for the last couple of weeks.

There’s a few shaves left in the tube, and I’ll persevere to get it finished whilst it still feels wintery,
which the scent particularly calls for.

Enjoy yours gents.
 
Second go with the Tatra and it's better in the Flexi but I still feel it could be sharper.

My 2nd prototype cartridge was thankfully a better shave than the first, no ridiculous slimy lubrication and actually a fairly comfortable shave. I’m not going to convert back any time soon but this is fairly harmless- literally as it hasn’t left me with any irritation.
I found the difficult to lather soap kindly passed on by @Satanfriendly it was a little foamy at first but quickly turned into a smooth base not unlike a thinner SV soap finish, it feels good on the skin and like it’s doing you good!

Lovely lather and scent from this soap & matching splash combo. This brush is very nice!
This razor shaves very well too. The edge was buttery smooth and crisply keen. @507 shaves, my SR shave is getting better results than a DE...unimaginable a few years back...
