Sunday midday shave (rated 10/10) using:
Another perfect shave, except that I nicked my lip in the tiniest way. The bleeding was minimal and stopped during the touch up phase. Sometimes I just land the 6S too hard at the start of a stroke and it nibbles. It's definitely a me thing. The 6S delivers so much smoothness and comfort that an occasional nibble is no problem.

Happy shaves everyone

Razor - Yaqi - Mellon - Double Open Comb
Blade - Derby Extra
Bowl - Indian Brass 1850 Pan
Brush - Unbleached Boar
Soap - Dudu Osun - African Black Soap
EDP - Ard Al Zaafaran - Oud 24 Hours Majestic Gold
Attar - Qadeem Cambodian Oud
Arrived at a very comfy, closest shave in under 3 minutes with the very capable Yaqi Mellon DOC - I have half a dozen different Mellons and I love them all; they never let me down.
The African Black soap was mega in all respects and the new Emirates frag was outstanding - quite a few people have asked me what it was and the Dragon adores it.
So all's tickerty-boo and that'll do.

Its really slick and slippery and a great performer. Didn't know they also had a lime one? But that sounds awesome. I do use their peppermint liquid castille soup once/when I'm sick, the mint helps me breath better.
Razor: Tatara Muramasa
Blade: Perma-Sharp
Brush: Captains Choice ST Synthetic
Pre-shave: Proraso Blue Protective
Soap: Proraso Blue
Aftershave: Floid The Genuine
Just a quick face shave tonight since I did a full head and face shave last night. Grabbed the Muramasa set it on 1 for a nice mild but efficient shave. No lather bowl just a face lather with the Blue. Only two passes, WTG and ATG and done. Nice close DFS. Splash of Floid's and off to bed to get up early tomorrow. 10/10

Delicious face lather with the Ogallala stick and Plissoft. There's definitely a warming sensation with this soap. Straightforward passes WTG and XTG, plus some cleanup, for a DFS and zero alum feedback. Delicious Red splash to finish.

Tried the Fatip Lo Storto again, this time with a FlyDear blade. The result was another smooth, irritation-free shave that left me not wanting the shave to end! At this point, I am seriously considering dropping out of the GRUYERE to get myself a copy, since this is only on loan from the NZ travelling box. I'll be sad to see the Fatip on its way to the next taker. Between it and the Yaqi Mellon, I'm not sure I can choose!

Still trying out the Wilkinson Swords. Meh. Still on the fence. Everything went fine during the shave but I can feel some irritation.
