MdC - M&F - Feather AC SS - Aqua Velva​

First time out for the Feather, loaded with a ProGuard blade. I've tried a couple of straight shaves before and have generally ended up with nicks, rawness and a not very close shave, so I was a bit apprehensive. However, it was relatively successful. Two WTG passes left me with a pretty decent shave. A few tiny blood spots and some bits missed around the chin, jawline and neck but the rest of the shave was not far from what I achieve with a DE. I'm pleased.
 
Pre shave - Arko
Razor - Muhle '11 R41
Blade - 7o'clock (yellows)
Brush - G.O.S.H Heritage
Soap - Truefitt + Hill Luxury S/S
A/S - Boots Witch Hazel gel followed by Tabac A/S lotion

HORRIBLE!! now I remember why the T+H was shoved to the back of the draw!! I will have to try the 'yellow' again using a soap I can trust.... the 'yellow' felt rough on my skin, I achieved BBS but at a price... it was in a Muhle '11 R41 after all. So the T+H will now be used for shaving me noggin, and the 'yellow' will get another shot using one of the tallows... :-/
 
This morning:

Prep: Face wash, Imperial Leather bath soap, cold
Razor: Myers & Son 6/8" hollow ground
Brush: Neep #1156 cocobolo chubby 24mm extra silvertip
Soap: Prof Blighty's Rosewood
Aftershave: Prof Blighty's Rosewood

A decent shave, tiny bit "skippy" in some directions but a good comfortable result. Very handsome razor.
 
Pre shave - hot bath
Razor - Fatboy
Blade - 7o'clock (yellows)
Brush - New Forest Tubby 1 two band
Soap - Proraso shaving soap, menthol

Very nice shave, very close and smooth. No nicks or cuts. The less is more is working beautifully.

No pre-shave
Monsavon shaving soap
Progress on 5 with Polsilver Stainless
Professor Blighty's Universal Shaving Balsalm, Tuxedo

Thought I'd try something a bit different. I usually go for a low setting but today I thought with a blade like the Polsilver I could go for the deftest touch on top setting and get either a BBS or a sandpaper bloodbath. Fortunately it was the latter.
Excellent!
