Razor - Yaqi DOC
Blade - Dorco Titan (3)
Brush - Omega 10075
Soap - Arko
Post - Witch Hazel/Alum
Balm - Nivea Cooling Kick
Splash - Benjamins Bay Rum Mentholated

Not a great shave today, 2-3 small weepers + a big nick above my lip on the first pass, took a fair old time with the alum block to get the bleeding to stop. With the remaining lather, I tried to do a bit of a clean up pass on my lower jaw whilst the blood was dripping on the lather!

Anyway gents, have a good start to your week.
 
Monday Shave

Preshave - African Black Soap
Soap - PAA Gondolier
Brush - Cadman 30mm Synthetic
Razor - Finnigan Straight Razor
Spalsh - Aqua Velva
Balm - Castle Forbes Lime
EDT - Profumo Di Firenze

I checked the Finnigan after the last time I used it and found the Blade Angle was off , I had a great experience learning what to do about it , and I am pleased to report it now shaves extremely well.

Gillette Tech + Astra SP

I keep giving my Made in England Tech another chance but I really don't like it - it's light, build seems "tinny" and it's not at all smooth.

Don't feel too bad. I couldn't get on with my tech, which was probably a similar model to yours, light and tinny.

Happy Birthday

Pre - Shower / Face wash
Cream - GFT Eucris
Brush - New Forest Badger
Razor - Merkur 34G
Blade - Wilkinson (10)
Post - Alum followed by some moisturiser

I'm back on my usual cream to try and use it up. A superb two and a half pass shave today. The blade going well on 10 uses. I would normal change each week but decided to continue until it feels a bit duff.
