Post shave: Cold water splash, EO infused Witch Hazel
Balm: Bart's Balm Rosemary and Sandalwood Balm & Lotion
Aftershave: CK One


Firstly a big Thank you to Mike @mpf9ret for the trade,
Today i used the newly acquired ATT SE-G1 razor, when i read up on these a lot of users said they were too mild for them, i do enjoy a mild razor and as my beard is fine to medium strength i was hoping it would work for me.
I completed 3 wonderfully smooth passes for a very comfortable BBS finish. The post shave feel is very nice.
Supplemented by a very nice post shave routine i am smooth, clean with my skin feeling very soft and comfortable. I like this razor a lot after that performance.
I enjoy using my Sabre with the L1 plate fitted and the ATT is very similar shave wise, maybe even smoother plus i think he looks more handsome to my eye. Both keepers and will be rotated.
I may have to do a side by side comparison .
This week i will run with the ATT and the Schick B2 (confirmed by @riverrun the B1 is Silver ) just to get to know them a bit better.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Soap PAA Solstice
Brush New Yaqi 26mm Lucky Dice Tuxedo
Razor RazoRock German 37 Slant
Blade Tiger Platinum 6th
Post & Aftershave
Ice Water + Special Thayers Mix
Hyaluronic Acid + Reuzel Wood & Spice
1st use of new Yaqi brush (won during renaming contest). Load from soap tub and face lather. Good backbone and yet soft. Kinda high glue bump but was ok. Splay was good. Easy to build a creamy, thick and slick lather. Love the handle..long enough and feel good in hand. Shave with razor & blade combo was excellent....feel really smooth, still sharpish and very comfortable. 3+1 multiple passes with no issues at all. Again, almost did not feel the blade. Icy water rinse was super great then Thayers followed by Hyaluronic and Reuzel which smells real nice...sorta lemony. Lasted 2hrs+. BBS to DFS result and rating is 9.7/10
This slant razor feels so much more comfy as compare to my other Parker SemiSlant. No sure if it's the blade factor.

 
Pre - Shower / Face wash
Cream - GFT Eucris
Brush - Executive Big Jock Badger 30mm
Razor - MÜHLE R89
Blade - Wilkinson (4)
Post - Alum followed by Skin Food then moisturiser with SPF (over kill?)

First use of this brush. It's massive. Doesn't look it in this picture. Worked well. Not sure I'd want to use this everyday though. I shall try it with a soap tomorrow. Two pass plus a third touch up pass and a nice comfortable shave.

Schick Proline [ 7 ]
P & B Spitfire A/S Splash

I have now had 7 Shaves with this version of the Hawk V3, and only broke the continuous run once. From the of the Shaves have been smooth and comfortable with a good close finish. But I must have really to the measure of it, as this and yesterdays were of the "Face Stroking" variety. I think on balance I am more comfortable with this than the OC, which though very good requires bit more care and concentration whilst shaving.
