This was a first for me for this blade and soap. Blade was OK, nothing special, I think I like the Platinum Lux version better.
The soap, well, I need some more time to get used to it. The fact that is has no smell takes a bit of time for my brain to understand ;-) Shaves great, lather is fine, but it just takes some time getting used to. Will use it for the rest of the week as well, plenty of soap in the sample left.

Alpha G4 Syn 28mm
Williams Mug soap
Schick “O” Clone
Schick S/S Twin Japan ( 9 )
Williams Aqua Velva A/S Lotion

Injector Shaves do not come much better than this. Ultra smooth, absolutely brilliant on upper lip and around the tip of the chin. Glad I got hold of this one, do not expect to get an original.

Whoa! I was not expecting that!
A really nice, slick covering face lathered with the wonderful gift of a new Mühle Silvertip Synth from a fellow shaver, It made really short work of the soap today and produced copious amounts of the good stuff.
The new to me Feather DX ACD-N fitted with a first use for me Pro-Guard was up for duty today.
I was expecting the blade to be on the milder side as it is guarded, no such luck, from the first stroke i new this was going to need attention. The handle shape is also new to me so took a bit getting used to, i completed the first pass and came through unscathed, although from the rinse-off i knew it was really close in some areas, i followed up with some touch up to finish the shave with a BBS finish, no visible marks, cuts or weepers .
I used the Barts Balm "face medic" to help my skin along, i did get a little indication here and there from the splash that did not last too long.
All in all very happy with that.
Now then do i need a Dark wood DX or Scotch wood SS:scratchhead:?
Stay safe and enjoy your day All
