Another aborted attempt with the Rolls razor which I thought I'd honed up & stropped enough. Still unable to cut anything, so it was back to the hot-knife-through-butter kit:
Merkur Futur (#5)
Feather (#2)

First use of the longslant and an aggressive blade since going back to Go and not collecting £200. Close shave with little-to-no painful irritation stuff.
