Razor: Ikon Shavecraft 102 Slant with Bamboo Handle

Pre - Hot shower
Brush - PAA Atomic Rocket
Bowl - Avalon Pottery
Soap - B&M Reserve Spice
Razor - Karve SS #0003 with "C" plate
Blade - Rapira
Post - Floid Vigoroso

Nice close shave to kick off an 'oddly sunny' Melbourne morning. I think this is the first go with a rapira blade, and it was run of the mill average like a personna red or voskhod blade imo.
 
Pre: Hot Shower
Razor: RazoRock JAWS OC
Blade: Polsilver SI (1)
Brush: Yaqi Silvertip Badger
Soap: A&E Signature
Post: A&E Signature Splash

Simply put, todays shave was sublime. First time out with the JAWS was a total success and I look forward to getting to know the razor properly. Long story short the razor was super-efficient, up there with the R41 no worries but smoother.

Stirling 2019 The Shave Den/30 Day Crew Meet-Up - Blood on Steel AS

Assistance from one of my grand daughters, Melody, during today's shave. She choose the prerelease Stirling Soap Company Tsuka based on the original Hanae Mori scent. I think it's already sold out which should give credit to the popularity. The brush handle was crafted by Canadian TSD member Jason (jtspartan) and fitted with an AP Shave Co 30mm SynBad knot.

Great shave to end the working week but the Rapira blade was tugging a decent amount today. Not comfortable in that aspect but I still ended up with a super close shave regardless.

Stay safe today if the weather is a bit rough in your neck of the woods...

Been using the gsb for the last couple of days and while they give me a close shave they just seem rough.last time I used them I thought they were very similar to the nacet but now I find the never to be a much better blade.be interesting to compare again in another 12 months and see what my thoughts are then.
 
Yesterday's post by @Kevlar Merkin inspired me to have an injector shave today. It was excellent & effortless.
