The razor I used today is the one closer to the center of the photo. I'd had a couple of rough shaves with the cutout style Valet on the left, despite using a modern stainless Feather cutout blade. There's a chance I spoiled that blade myself, but I wanted to check my Valet technique by using a blade I knew was good. DFS, although I did get a little nick.

Nivea for Men Replenishing After Shave Balm
I was surprised when I received the Semogue 1305, it is bigger than I thought.
First impression is very good, and I am pleasantly surprised by the softness of the tips from the start - resembles Omega on that point.
The razor could do with a touch up, so it got a ride on the Coticule last night; and today - smooooth
I hope you Gentlemen also have had or will have a great start to the week

Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 26mm Simpson "Chubby #2", 3-band Super Badger
Razor: 7/8" Solingen Stainless, 1/4 Hollow, Round Point
Strop: 60/75 (Torolf linen/Premium IV leather)
Überlather: Acca Kappa "1869" Shave Creme + Acca Kappa "1869" Shave Soap + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue
Cologne: Acca Kappa "1869" EdC
Results: An excellent shave for this beautiful Monday morning. The Solingnen Stainless delivered a lovely and smooth shave. It took a few tries, but I believe that I have finally dialed-in the honing regimen for this blade (from last time...no touch up needed, just stropping). She still kept her wonderfully sharp edge from last time I honed her. And the Acca Kappa SC/SS combo provided my skin with the wonderfully thick and moist lather that I have come to expect from my cremes/soaps. A spectacular and irritation free shave
!!!
Have a GREAT Monday gentlemen
