Two SOTD posts in quick succession, as I accidentally posted my previous SOTD in the wrong thread.

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Semogue Owners Club Boar
Soap: Dr Dittmar Spezial
Razor: ATT SE1 / UFO Tornado
Blade: Schick Proline P-30 (5)
Post: Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel, CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave
Scent: YSL Rive Gauche

Very comfortable shave. Two passes, then a couple of clean-up buffs for a DFS+ result. Dr Dittmar soap produces a very good lather; it doesn't feel quite as slick as some other soaps, but it seems to allow very close yet comfortable blade contact, resulting is excellent efficiency. Also feels terrific on the face and post shave.

Moss Classic scuttle
Rooney 2/1 Ivory Finest (22/56)
I Coloniali shaving cream
Asylum Evoluion Machined
Gillette Platinum Plus (13)
Chatillon Lux La Quatrième Ville aftershave

My first use of the Evolution impressed me. Its aggressiveness is equivalent to that of my Weber razor heads, and it gave me an easy BBS shave. The first use of the CL aftershave had more mixed reviews: it was soothing, but I'm not sure if I like its fragrance. My wife really likes it, saying it has a sort of lime tone (probably due to the vetiver and cypress).

Lea Classic soap
ATT SE-G, modded
Gem S/S [ 1 ]
Lea Classic A/S Lotion

Despite the modifications to the bottom plate the ATT SE-G is still very mild.I now can get it to deliver a smooth and comfortable Shave, though it takes bit longer than normal. A finished Shave is passable but not ultra close , and does not last well in the day.
