+ 1 on the Dorco Prime.
...You are right, 'a blade that doesn't get enough recognition'...Probably due to fear & ignorance and been made in Korea....A very smooth forgiving, non-aggressive yet efficient blade...I personally like all the Dorco blades i have tried, but the Prime is my favourite...

He should have kept his hands in the pockets...Thursday AM 2020-11-12
Global Handwashing Day
Rooney Stubby 1 Porcelain Finest (22/45)
Floris Verbena shaving soap (tallow) + a few drops Rose Essence Oil/Hydrosol
Carbon Mokume-gane Brass/R2
Personna 74 Tungsten (8)
Guerlain Vétiver aftershave
The Rose Essence mixture added a nice fragrance to the old shaving soap. I also used Ethos Grooming First Lather before lathering and a couple drops of Ethos Remede rubbed into my skin before applying the aftershave. A lot of 'stuff,' which together made for a great shave.
Is Ethos Grooming First Lather a pre shave?
What is Ethos Remede ?
Nut, most of all...where did you get all the infos?
I could access only a few information

A clear morning; but it was supposed to rain: meteorologists are as reliable as our Post service!
I wanted a soap with an elegant scent and the Foris N° 89, for me, belongs to this category: I would see it well in an Edwardian bathroom, even without running water, with a porcelain basin and the fireplace on.
Of course, it would be less practical, but I have a lot of time...
The handle of the brush came well calibrated for my hands and I use it with pleasure.
And today, out of curiosity, I tried it with very little soap passed on my face since its consumption is now evident.
And I discovered that using more of it was just a waste. Today I've had enough of it for one pass and touch ups: exactly how much I needed.
The EdT is also going down, but it's intense enough notto use much of it.
The Pal continues to amaze me: I learned to use it and I regret not having learned before.
But I am still young: I will be able to keep enjoying it for at least a couple of months.
It's incredible the result obtained with just one pass!

An Iberian-inspired shave.
I've only tried La Toja soap a couple of times previously, having used it in stick form whilst traveling. My experiences were not that favourable.
However, after reading that it was a favourite of many, I grated a stick into a jar and gave it a second chance using a comination of bowl and face lathering. A huge difference. Very easy to lather, and voluminous quantities of thick polar-white lather. I did get a little skin irritation towards the end of the three pass shave, which may be due to La Toja's trademark "Con Sales Minerales". I'll give it another go soon to test this out.

Schick Proline ( 8 )

As Razors go The Claymore is a bit of a Heavyweight, that responds well to the lightest of touches. I am lucky that I started my return to Shaving with heavy ones- Futur and ER Streamline, so The Claymore is not a problem.
Used the soap bar for the first time, applied liberally on the face, and built up a very rich and effective lather with the Brush. Very pleased with the Shave as all went well,and the finish attained was very good.
