Razor: Mongoose Satin w/Bomber handle
Blade: Kai Mild (3)
Post: Thayer's witch hazel, followed by Village Barber balm
Holy cow! First time with this brush and it has bloomed beautifully. It's a lathering beast and has much more backbone than I thought any silvertip could possess.
Kai blade has mellowed out a little, so no nicks. Forgot how easily the Wickham soaps lathered so made enough lather for 10 passes (at least).

Lovely smooth shave from this combo.
