The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with the Bunny B-400 Badger brush by Tom. Two passes and touch ups with the TNNSER V1 Razor by Tom and Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Hendrick's Witch Hazel and then Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Friday Morning Fiesta
Well, I'm not convinced I really like these Feather blades. First use in the VC1 was adequate. Not the worst shave and not the greatest. All other aspects were fine but my new little no-name vintage boar brush needs some breaking in. Probably needed a longer soak.

Saturday Morning Salutation
Same Razor as yesterday but replaced the Feather with a GEM PTFE - what a difference !! I also soaked the brush longer. It was a bit better but going to need a long break in. I don't think it was ever used. The tips need to split and get soft. Nice to have a tube of Proraso Red back in the rotation.
