Wilkinson TTO razor
Treet King stainless steel blade
No name synthetic brush
Mentha Arvensis shaving soap (menthol)
Xtracare Chivalry aftershave
Bod Man Black spray cologne
Hot shower prep with Old Spice extra clean soap
This is the soap that came with my no name brush. It took a while to raise a lather. Two passes and a clean up around my muzzle and BBS was obtained. Xtracare to soothe and Bod Man Black to wake me up.

A similar set up to yesterday as the Blutt was planned, however, i wanted to test the 1940's Enders with its reworked Enders blade "carrier" which i set up with exactly the same measurements as the 1930's carrier.
I completed the same routine as yesterday consisting of a WTG pass with the Enders, a XTG pass with the Blutt then an ATG with the Enders, i have to say todays Enders shave was much smoother, yes i had a better prep with a pre shave shower but i also noticed yesterday as i reduced the length on the second blade i had created 2 sharp square corners at both ends of the blade, i rubbed these down with about 4 strokes on some emery tape. I also checked the 1930s blade and did the same with that one. Both will get a run out next week.
So, BBS and very comfortable for today.
I am 1 happy bunny with my Enders blade rework efforts.
Enjoy your day all.

I haven't shaved with an artist club style blade for well over a year or even used my Vector for the same time as it was stored away for my house move.
This shave felt like new gear, the muscle memory kicked in after the first few strokes & a 2 pass (wtg & multi directional) resulted in a pro finish.
The accuracy & feel of the Vector with a new P-30 blade is just a fantastic experience.
Using a Gillette Labs for months (as good as they are), todays shave just blew me away.
No issues with the P-30 at all even though Blackland don't recommend them I believe.
Zingari Man recovery splash (unscented) & Sauvage Parfum topped off todays treat. I'll say it again, I have missed this game.
Wishing top shaves all round Follks!
PS. Later edit . . . PAA Doppelganger is top tier. It nails the Sauvage fragrance & the CK6 formula just gives the ultimate lather easily, every time.

Aftershave Folk Soap Bay Rum.
Today's shave was my second run with the testing of Folk Soap Bay Rum.
I had some soap left over pressed into the bottom of my bowl yesterday so I reused it today, again it quickly and easily produced a mountain of creamy lather.
There was loads in my bowl and it is very slick, I did a 2 pass shave with the Batch 002 with a BBS end result.
After rinsing off the skin whilst wet is still slick enough for any needed touch ups.
I think @p.105 you have pretty nailed your base and for me there is nothing I can say that could improve it, great job.
I used the Cyber Mild tonight on my head kindly on loan from @slapo and I think I personally prefer this over the Medium for head shaving, I found it simply more comfortable to use and I am starting to see the benefits with your flexible handle hack.
Now with the aftershave tonight I applied it with wet hands and although it was not as greasy, for me personally I still find it leaves oil on my hands if I rub my face a few hours later and I am not keen on that aspect.
It's just my personal opinion so take that for what it is.
all in all, an 9/10 shave again shoot happy days.
Enjoy your night, everyone.
