Maggard Limes & Bergamot today. 20 seconds to load the oscar11 Boar. Easy, thick, slick, lather. 7 O’Clock Blue SP still in the Fat Boy. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Krampert’s Frostbite.

Razor: Merkur Progress
Blade: Gillette Wilkinson Sword
Brush: RazoRock Plissoft
Lather: Italian Barber Acquatico
Aftershave: Skin Bracer

Prep - Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam
Razor - Ever Ready 1912
Blade - Personna GEM SE Stainless (#11 and out)
Brush - Shavemac Raptor 26/52 DO1 3
Soap - Tcheon Fung Sing Ambassador LE
After - Frozen towel / Brut Original A/S
Result - Dolphin Smooth

Well I made it to eleven shaves with this blade so stropping definitely works. There was a little area of irritation I felt on the last pass so I think it prudent to retire it gracefully.
The TFS is a great soap for SE, and probably the best of the ten Italian soaps I have.

So I discovered what I've been doing wrong. I've been moving my wrist which makes me put pressure during the most of times. Only irritation I got was on the right jawline. So this has been an improvement! I'd say I got a DFS! Everything went pretty good! Have a good day!
