Two things.
That Catie's bubbles is amazing and that ATT S1 and Astra SP are a very good match.

What did you learn from your last shave?

Better lather with Haslinger's!s soap.
The scent of Catie's LTV is one of the best soaps I've smelled. It also lathers up luxouriously.
I will try that. I love the performance of this soap so much I'm going to make two blind purchases and LTV will be in there. I'm trying to decide if I should go for Midnight dreary or LPV for the second one.
I didn't really care much for Spanish Holiday, it gave me some sort of detergent vibe like MLS Kraken but the performance and the post shave feel.. just wow. I am blown away. I was never blown away by a soap but this one did.
Thank you by the way for the recommendation

Figured out the secret of the R41: Can't use it with only a days growth, but if the growth is approaching 2 days, the Beast is a pretty neat razor.
My Schick M3 adjustable and my Schick E2 injectors give me some of the best shaves I've ever had....DE's, straights, shavettes....mild, aggressive, open comb, safety bar....all different blades...and now I think I may have found my newest favorite!!
Gillette NEW LC + Astra SP might not a good combination for me. Or was it my lather ? I got some razor burn tonight. First time in many months. Still love this razor, though.
Whilst I despise cold shave---my face loves it. Even in TX.
Witch hazel splash afterwards---walk---get dressed---aftershave balm
every saturday---neutrogena blue with glycolic acid...no shave til the next day
Face soaps daily? Purpose, Cetaphil, Basis
And TG for toothbrushes, homemade tendskin recipes...and witch hazel

Adjustable on aggressive setting + 4 day old Feather + overconfidence = 
Lavanille helped me through a next day shave and it's not too shabby at all.
+1 indeed. "Pride before a fall" like Granny used to say.Adjustable on aggressive setting + 4 day old Feather + overconfidence =
Best to keep the "white belt" on at all times. I do think we learn faster by making mistakes though.
That we really need a second bathroom.
That I can apparently do an acceptable job of shaving without my glasses on.
I think I'd like to try a razor with more audible feedback than my 33C though, some places I really had no idea what was happening until I rinsed and could feel what was left behind.

Take care around the jawline!
That my blade was blunt.
When using a very narrow straight (4/8 or less) one must be careful to keep the blade from 'stalling' and nosediving into flesh possibly releasing precious bodily fluids. I think controlling the rotation is important due to the low mass and small rotation axis of the blade. But trying to do that without having a death grip is proving to be a difficult proposition.
