Think I've decided this is about #10 for this blade now. The Jewel gave a dream of a shave as always. Don't know why I don't use this all the time
Used this Gentleman's luxury shaving soap and went with the vintage Imperial Leather to finish. Lovely.
Enjoy your Sunday evening...

Truly Underrated Shave Soap & Aftershave! I don’t see Lockhart’s posted frequently, but it produces a thick & rich protective lather. I love the powdery Barberscent and the alcohol free aftershave that is refreshing and smells great. Some days I will use it even when I do not shave.
Proraso pre-shave, Omega EVO, Ti SB Blackbird, Feather yellow, Lockhart’s Barbershop Shave Soap & aftershave, Omega alum, HAGs Faceless balm. Perfect 2.5 passes!

Van der Hagen TTO razor
Astra superior platinum blade (russian)
Leponix synthetic brush
Van der Hagen deluxe shaving soap
Care One witch hazel
Canoe aftershave
Avon wild country cologne
Warm shower prep with Old Spice Swagger body wash
I started with two days worth of beard. I'm really going to miss these Russian Astrs when they run out. I did three lathered passes without roughness or irritation. I even did ATG on all the trouble spots without any irritation. The Canoe went on without biting. (High alcohol content) I added a few sprays of High Country to revise and extend my remarks.
