TGN 24mm Finest in Commodore X3 handle
ATT M2 Kronos
Personnal Lab Blue (1)
Myrsol Emulsion
Decided to bring out my MWF for another try, but us usual the result was a rather frothy mess. Added some Ingram and things started looking up. The combined scents weren't anything to write home about, but the shave was effortless.

Pre: Hot wash with dove soap.
Soap: Stirling Ben Franklin.
Brush: Vie Long Horse/Badger mix
Razor: 6/8 Kropp
Strop: Invisible edge standard plus.
AS: Professor Blighty Hyperion.
Nice smooth full 2 pass WTG shave and I tried XTG for the first time on my cheeks. No nicks, weepers or irritation, I also tried a kind of light buffing stroke xtg on my upper lip and under the nose which seamed to work better than trying to shave from the nose to lip. Stirling soap lathered well and although it became thinner on the last pass it was still slick enough to prevent any irritation.
I did finish up with an ATG pass and it feels very nice indeed.

Lather wasn't up to much, unfortunately. I'm finding this a bit difficult to dial in at the moment; it lacked slickness and the lather dissipated quickly. I actually rubbed a bit of Speick stick before the second pass which sorted the issues out.

Pre: RazoRock/HTGAM mentholated lime soap
Soap: Grandstaff Grapefruit Gardenia
Brush: Rubberset-400 replica with 24mm TGN synthetic
Razor: Schick dial adjustable (M-type)
Blade: Schick SS 1997 (3)
Post: Thayer's witch hazel, followed by Myrsol Antesol
First time shaving with the Grandstaff (very soft) soap/cream. Wow this stuff packs a punch. Amazing lather, slick and thick.
The scent reminded me of Hawaii and being held down on a bed by 3 hula girls while they whip my face with fresh flower lei's.
Sadly, last day with the Schick adjustable since I have to send it to its rightful owner.

Razor MD Post Shave Lotion - Herbal Blend
The ATT Kronos with an M head is reasonably mild (still quite a bit more aggressive than a Feather AS-D2 though) and paired with the Sputnik gives a beautifully smooth 2 pass shave.
The Razor MD herbal blend compliments the C&E West Indian Lime too.
