New razor I received yesterday. Picked up some weepers, and one nick low on the neck that was my fault. But the entire time I used this razor I was thinking "Could this be The One?".
The weight and balance were perfect to me. It was lively and maneuverable. DFS, but I can't wait to try other blades in this!

Last night’s cap-riding shave of awesomeness
Fatip Grande
Sharp Titanium (7)
Damp facecloth aka “shave binky
Whipped Dog Butterscotch 30mm boar brush
Pre-shave: warm shower
Lather: ARKO!; face-lathered
Aftershave: Ulm Nom
Post-shave: face wash with shave binky and a drop of hyaluronic acid
Post-shave: Equate moisturizer
With help from @WThomas0814 in the “Cult of Arko” thread, I applied a rich, slick lather. And then I managed to water it down, too, without dipping my brush in extra water. Managed a close, comfortable shave that took longer than desired and I think I’ll go back to other brushes for this particular soap for now. The Fatip Grande and Sharp Titanium blade kept on keeping on.
Piggy brush bristles shampooed and rinsed to remove humanity from brush. Hello, moderately lofted synthetics!
