Razor: Goodfellas' Smile - Bayonetta
Blade: 7 AM Plus Hi Platinum. DAY # THREE USEAGE.
Bowl: N/A
Soap/Cream: Cremo - Refreshing Mint, smells is great.
Brush/Instrument: Fingers/Omega Boar
Extra Stuff: Witch Hazel
Still using my Goodfellas' Smile Bayonetta today this Razor is a Rock Star. Shave was three passes, with, across, & against the grain, using a Almost NEW FRESH - 7 AM Plus Hi Platinum, some Blade feel but just feedback, Shave went as easy as 1, 2, 3, Blade is Super Sharp, and, Efficient. Today was DAY # THREE for using this Blade, came out of my Orphan Blade Ziplock. Blade sent message, aka feedback it was working good today, it was loud talking, and clear.
Shave today was Dam Fine Shave but did not achieving perfection rating, would be 9.8 +. Results were Darn Good because I payed a lot of attention to Technique, reaping rewards, of DFS for doing so. I do not & never will chase BBS, do but still got great Shave. This is a Heavy Weight Razor at 3.49 Ounces, Handle is nice & long so it like having baseball bat in hand. Last observation about the Goodfellas' Smile Bayonetta Razor is it Clamp Down Blade so there is NO Blade Movement or Blade Chatter this is a flipping excellent shaving tool. Would call the Goodfellas' Smile - Bayonetta, a low price point, CNC BEST BUY at under $60.00 retail. Cheaper if your a bargain shopper.

Going to be same setup dif blades tried two out
Personna labs or whatever the plain wrapper no marking one is but its kinda my blade to know IF GSB go away
so wanted to test how this razor is compared to the Timeless as I know each razor I have had tends to like a certain blade a bit more sometimes
and so far the feather like always just to irritating
the persona seems about like my timeless its my 2nd blade if GSB go away

Muhle Monday
Razor: Muhle Rocca R94
Blade: Treet Classic (5)
Brush: Muhle Rocca R94 STF
Soap: RR Don Marco
Post Shave: L'Oreal Men Hydra Creme
A/S: CK In2U
It was so hot today that I broke out the RR Don Marco, that orange scent was just what I needed today. This is a soap that doesn't get a great deal of use in my den (Ireland doesn't really do hot weather), but when it does it is always welcome. The shave was quite good in closeness, but that scent elevated it to excellent.

Monday 7th April, shave 97
Preshave: Hot washcloth
Lather: Mitchell's Wool Fat (Tallow)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.68 SB, Al Handle, Nacet #1
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm
I loaded a fresh Nacet into my mildest Game Changer. They're slightly sharper than green Astras, so it was a good combination. I got an easy DFS.
After a week of using other soaps, the MWF needed rehydrating.
