Razor: Maggard 'V3A’ (MR18c handle) Rockwell blade  ///   Edging & Shaping: IKON ‘El Jefe’ (bulldog handle) SE  ///  
Brush: custom Omega 49 ~ Mimi’s 2 Band Finest Badger 30mm  ///  Soap: Shaveworks ‘Pearl Soufflé’ cream  ///  AS: Myrsol ‘Don Miguel 1919  ///   
Balm: Simpson’s ‘Unscented’

Blackland Dart
Gillette 7 o'clock yellow
Maseto Finest
Barrister and Mann reserve cool
Epsilon Blue Mediterranean Aftershave

The shave: Hard to put into any meaningful words...

The Soap: The lather was usable but I didn't really know whether I needed to add more soap or more water? A right head scratcher. Back to the drawing board.

The Razor: Second use of the Dart. Trying a new soap wasn't ideal but I really wanted to use the soap. 
I think the 'lather' or lack of one didn't help matters. 
It felt pretty aggressive today. I needed the lightest of light touches. 
So much so I needed a number of touch ups. The finished results were good but not as good as the first shave.

The Aftershave: To end on a positive note. I really rated it.

Cheers
