Omega 11126
OSP Bay Rum
Supply Single Edge 3*plate
Schick Japanese [ 1 ]
Alum Rub/rinse off
Myrsol Antesol A/S lotion

I have had 20+ shaves with this Razor,using a 3*plate as I have a heavy beard.I have use NOS,Personna and a Chick Blade.The latter with a lot of work produced moderate shaves.

Today used a Japanese Schick,but should not have bothered as it slithered over the surface with barely cutting at all, was so bad that I abandoned the Shave,and ejected the blade.Will try another
Schick or cut down AC. I have contacted Supply about my experience as I can generally get a good shave with most old/modern SE/Injectors that I have tried.

Exec Shaving pre
Semogue 2000
Cella
ATT M2/Astra
Alum
Extro Bay Rum
The 2000 was on debut and paired with my first experience with Cella, it was disappointing.
I couldn't get the combination to lather if I'd still been trying an hour later.
Brush has had 6/8 lather/dry cycles and seemed soft enough but I couldn't get the bubbles out of the lather,...what lather there was thin and didn't last.
The first pass was so poor that I mixed up some Vulfix cream which saved the day.
Mebbe it was me, but the Cella had nowhere near the cushion and glide I'd experienced with even the cheapest cream.
The alum rub was 'entertaining', to put it mildly, presumably due to the first pass. The Extro was expectedly bracing, but I'm off to apply some Cade a/s balm.
Not a fan of soap so far,....:-(
