What a difference a blade makes! I replaced the 3 shave old feather with a new Treet Platinum this morning, and changed the character of this razor to a near DE89 experience. A wonderful lather created by the SV and Semogue, then two quick, smooth, highly efficient passes with the EJ to give an excellent result. Great shave.
 
Friday

Green day (well, apart from the red. Ok, and the nickel)

Proraso M&E pre-shave
Proraso M&E croap
Yaqi Red Marble 24mm Tuxedo synth
Face lather
Gillette 1948 English Flat Bed Tech
Permasharp #1
Thayer's Rose Petal and Aloe Vera
Proraso M&E after shave

Outstanding shave this morning. My first use of a Permasharp blade too. Thanks to my good friend @StrummerShave for passing it (and others) on. Two small spots on the neck wept a bit (operator error); but a cold water splash took care of them. Nice and mentholly eucalypted.
