I like a thick, cushiony lather for the first pass; but one that decreases in volume to the point where a slick film is all (that's) needed for that third ATG pass.22/2/2020

I've been continuing using sloppier/more hydrated lathers than I usually would and I'm noticing I'm getting a slightly better shave than when I'd have a thicker lather with more cushion.
Nice,simple,clean, efficient shave. The Fat, a proper badger brush, OC razor, good show!Today's shave:

Thanks to @Burgundy i have adopted a Blackland Blackbird SB & OC for what i thought was a very reasonable fee. I always fancied one but was put off because i found the "Dart" a bit wild.
1st up for the Blackland family Party is the Blackbird SB fitted with a 3 shave Astra SP. I had a really slick lather from the OSP so was feeling pretty confident.
The first couple of strokes i could tell there was some blade feel, however, this is very manageable, i found a comfortable angle almost immediately.
Yes, i gave the razor the respect it deserved and held it very gently actually just supporting its weight, the 1st pass was very good, probably DFS standard.
I completed a 2nd pass and used XTG & ATG where required, Finished, what a close comfortable shave. Happy Bunny.

Close your nose
My post shave routine was all Neroli, Starting with my infused witch hazel, then Argan oil rub, then OSP Splash, then Copycat Just Neroli, if i could have put a bit more Neroli on i would have. Get it.
I enjoyed that, Sorry Russ
Enjoy your shaves All.
