Gillette Sensor 3
Yaqi Sagrada Familia
TFS Bergamotto Neroli crema da barba
Alum and Witch Hazel
TFS Bergamotto Neroli AS
Prep Cream
Proraso Green Balm

Well this didn't work out well, I think I ruined the NOS blade on inserting. It didn't shave very well so finished with the Sensor 3.
No cuts, weapers, or irritation but I am quite red. My rosacea is playing up too. I won't be winning any beauty pageants this week.

An easy 3 pass DFS+ finish. This AdP cream/soap is very nice. Does the fancy jar and designer name elevate it slightly higher in my opinion? Probably - but I like it and I'll use it again.

Sun 12 SOTD
Soap TFS Tabacum Crepito
Brush Yaqi 24mm Silvertip
Razor Parker 26C Open Comb
Blade Wizamet Iridium Super 2nd
Post & Aftershave
Ice Water + Special Thayers Mix
Hyaluronic + Aqua Velva Musk
Soap with mild scent of almond. Face lathering with brush is nice and produces a good head. Slickness was ok.
Shave with razor paired with blade feels smooth and comfortable as if no blade but somehow it bites today on the chin area. Rare to have multiple weepers from this mild razor. 3 multiple passes enough. Between bbs to dfs. Somehow this blade is not as good as Polsilver but not final outcome as yet. Rating today 8/10

I always love your photos, Chard, but I always find myself wanting a Mr Whippy ice cream cone after viewing :unsure:

Nice...two questions: what's the aggressiveness of that razor and what warp factor was the Enterprise set to when you took the photo?

Thanks. It's quite an aggressive razor, more so than my R41. I still haven't completely dialed it in, but riding the cap seems to limit blood loss.
As far as "warp factor," I used a focal zoom digital app and played with it until I was satisfied with the look.
