Friday Morning Bristle Brigade
The VC4 is probably the mildest of the AutoStrops I've used so far. Kind of a smooth AutoPilot shave.

Saturday Morning Sunrise Saponification
First trip with an EverReady razor - I believe this is a New Improved with a Chain Link Handle but correct me if I'm wrong. An unbelievably good shave.

The Vintage Life Licorice Shaving Soap lathered well with Semogue 1305 Boar brush.

Sunday Morning Non-Denominational Skive
Third Shave on the GEM SS PTFE Blade and I tweaked the exposure to be a bit more agressive - WOW what a difference. Still very smooth but upped the efficiency even on this third use.
