On the past two shaves I have tried the Marco Method for loading. Yesterday I used a 20mm badger to load on a puck of MacDuff's Aspen Parkland (which is a softer soap) and had a wonderful lather. To be complete, I used my Christopher Bradley Karve razor, C plate, and an Israeli Red. It was a very good shave.
Today I used my Karve Bison, with a Personna CC blade and a 26mm synthetic (PAA Star Wisp), and Murphy & McNeil Nil soap. The lather started out foamy with many little bubbles, then got to a luxurious, creamy state. This was made all the better by a brush warmer and my shave was heading to the best shave ever rating, but a red spot appeared on my jawline between passes and disappeared during a between passes rinse. But nonetheless, it was one of my best shaves ever, my face feeling so good afterwards and an overall feeling of being refreshed.
