Still going strong!
3rd shave with my Gillette Slim Adjustable, Gillette Platinum blade, and Stirling Varen Shaving Soap.

 

[Roedeer]

Day 5, 16.7% complete

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat (Tallow)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #5
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm

Took my time, and got a near-BBS. I did too good a job of chasing stray stubble, and gave myself some blade burn, but that's what balm is for.

The blade is still fine.

I finished up the Marlborough sample, so I am moving on to Arlington tomorrow.
