Shave Rating: 9/10
A bit better shave today than yesterday's shave. It was a much smoother shave and maybe that was due to the lather, but I am not sure. I might also have slightly closer shave as well even though the shave scores does not reflect this. It was a good utilitarian shave. It will do.

Preshave: Neutrogena Face Bar wash
Razor: Muhle R41
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
Soap: RazoRock The Dead Sea
Brush: SOC Cherry (boar)
PostShave: Alum Block/Thayers WH/Floid The Genuine
Rating: 9.91467
Comments: I've had mixed results with the R41. It seems to work out just fine with a smooth shaving blade like the GSB.
Today I didn't have any nicks or cuts and zero irritation. The results are getting close to a BBS. I've threatened to
get rid of this razor but after a shave like this morning I'm tempted to keep it and just use GSBs or similar in it.

Notes

6 / 10 Cutting off my GC 0.76 week early to try the newly arrived Yaqi Ghost 90SB (inspired by @JCinPA). First shave inconclusive. Remarkably smooth and close, for the most part, but didn't get along with my usual sensitive spots. I'm sure results will level out as I get used to the razor, I'll hold judgment for a week or so.
