Two passes on 24 hours growth, nice results except for the usual problem area w/24 hrs to the right of the adam's apple. A couple quick swipes with a Fusion cleaned it up.

Quick shave-test of the Clauss on one cheek, it's pretty good. I shaved the rest with the Puma, which was quite excellent as well. Both cheeks feel identically smooth with a once-over pass. Great shave!

Fusion razor - thought I'd do a quickie today and see how it went
5/8 Wostenholm Peerless to clean up what fusion missed
Careless slice on bottom of right earlobe when positioning blade for a stroke, barely felt a thing but lots of bleeding
Tissues, pressure, nick relief liquid, bad language trying to apply bandaid with left hand and mirror before more blood required starting over :rant:
Jako A/S Splash
A good shave when all was said and done, and a lesson learned.

Nice Proraso shave today, followed by alum and a splash of Pinaud Clubman.
Do not spash Pinaud on when you have windburn.
Lesson learned.

Had high hopes that this soap will be nice. I love the scent but, alas, it won't be a shaving soap for me. The lather seems to disappear, and it's not too mild. Lubrication and protection were sub-par. Worth the try, but definitely nothing to write home about.
Debut for the razor a/r Belgian and CrO2 love. Fairly smooth, top of the rotation but not a full 10/10 - yet. Maybe the second shave will be better. Sharp enough for ATG and great results on chin but I carelessly put 2 nick lines when I positioned the blade on my neck :rant: No blood but still
Strop came with nicks but after cleaning, sanding to 2K, and mink oil performs well. Very thick leather, we'll see if it warps or deforms w/ use
Cheers

Ivo,
Don't totally give up on the soap. Spend some time making "practice" lather with it and work on your water/soap ratio. You may just need to climb the learning curve.
