Very Speick-y shave, and much the better for it
 
Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Murdock Avalon pre-shave oil
Soap: Grandstaff - Illipe & Cocoa Butter
Bowl: Woodhead Pedestal
Brush: MÜHLE Kosmo silvertip synthetic
Razor: ATT R1 + templ8 handle
Blade: Rapira Swedish SS (3)
After: Floid black AS

First time using my new handle from templ8. The idea for this handle was to have ridges to provide grip and to remind me to not grip the handle too hard. Certainly feels different in the hand and my pinky slips nicely under the bottom of the handle to prevent slipping down.
It did however provide an excellent shave but that's not surprising using my best products.

Have a good one.
