Today's shave:

Growth: 2 day beard
Prep: Warm shower: Stirling Sheep bar soap
Pre: None
Brush: Maggard Razors 24mm G5 knot with Maggard Razors midnight blue 25mm handle
Lather: PAA Supreme Sandalwood Science (CK-6 formula)
Load Bowl: HC&C shave bowl (straight walled)
Lather Bowl: HC&C shave bowl (straight walled

Razor: Feather DX (wood handle, folding razor)
Blade: Kai Captain Titan ProTouch MG (D3)

Post: alum, Stirling witch hazel, Stirling unscented post shave balm

This was my first shave with the DX (wood handle) and I was quite impressed. I really like the solid feel of this razor. I think I like it better than my Kai Captain Standard folding razor. I think there is only 4g or so difference between the two razors (DX is heavier). I was not sure if the blade exposure on the DX would be more than the Kai Captain Standard, so I reviewed GeoFatboy's video with straight razor tips.

It was a very pleasant shave. I had a few micro nicks and maybe one insertion nick in the center of my neck (above the Adam's apple). I had razor burn on the right side of my neck (and maybe to a less extent on the left side of the neck). I am sure that I was not keeping the 25-30 degree angle in those areas. I think I will go with the Schick P-30 for the next shave as I felt I had to go over some places a few times to clear them out (though it could have been my angle in some cases). This may have been the best AC barber razor shave for me: BBS for the face, DFS right side of neck, DFS left side of neck.

I just bought the DX this week on BST, but I have been watching the prices on Amazon for this razor and they have been steadily going down in price. Today's price was $159.98 from the Feather Store. I mention it in case anyone wanted to try this razor for themselves. I have no affiliation with the seller on Amazon.
