Today's shave is international in effort. You'll see many countries covered above but I didn't want our other brethren feeling left out. For international inclusion in the photo you will see some scotch for the extreme northerners, a Yankee candle for our chums across the pond (let's not get hung up on the details of where these candles are made) and a potato for our Irish brethren (I'm working on the assumption that's not insulting! Let's also not get hung up on the fact that potato is actually from Somerset).
Anyway, on to the shave. Friday's super lather was quite educational for me in what consistency I should look for from a soap. The Musgo soap smelt great and the lather performed very well. The 30mm Yaqi is a lather monster. Is its size unnecessary? Probably, but it's great fun to use.
A pleasant shave overall but I'm underwhelmed by the Superspeed. I know there's a lot of love for these but I prefer my Tech and Fatboy. I can't see this razor being a regular in my rotation.
