Lovely shave with this set-up tonight. I do enjoy the Techs: smooth and yet efficient with the right blade. Still not sure if my ‘... vigour, bravery and pluck [has increased] tenfold.' though...

The best thing about SAD is the number of new and great smells you get to experience. The SMdF is no exception to this. I'm sporting a glass-like finish from 3 passes. The 3one6 is easily in my top 3 razors.
Pre-Shave: Kiss my Face Olive Oil Soap, cold water Razor: Razorock Baby Smooth Ti Blade: Voskhod (1) Brush: Paladin Sumo Lapis Lather: Stirling Bay Rum Post-Shave: Alum, Thayers Original Alcohol Free Witch Hazel, South Australian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Silver Blue on it's fourth use was much smoother in the Karve than my previous shave using a fresh Astra SP.
My hydrated Wool Fat soap performs much better than before. Excellent creamy lather easily whipped up even with very hard tap water.

Not a great lather today, the brush seemed to eat most if not all the lather by the 3rd pass. The blade and razor were smooth/efficient to see out the shave though.
