The CH1 is just about the perfect size for the soap puck, picking up plenty of soap from about 15 to 20 seconds loading. The soap seems to be getting better / easier with use. Today it produced another nicely scented, thick protective lather and the brush held enough for my 3 pass shave.
The Blade modification to the second Enders carrier was used today, again the dimensions replicate the original blade. I completed 3 full passes consisting of WTG, ATG and then XTG to finish. The result is an easy, comfortable, no issue BBS finish. I really like these Enders razors.
The Post shave was very nice, just using a little of the A/S balm and letting it absorb into the skin before adding a splash of the DRH. My skin is feeling really good.
Enjoy your day all.

My S.O.T.D today consisted of......
Prep Hot Shower.
Blackland Shaving Towel.
Brush Zenith Copper Boar.
Soap Mike's natural soaps, Bergamot, Orange & Ylang-ylang.
Razors Cyber Mild & Brass Stinger Plate 3.
Blade Tatara
Aftershave Folk Soap Bay Rum.

Today's shave was with the plate 3 installed into my Stinger, I go through phases and like to switch them about.
It delivered a fantastic two pass shave.

Another in a long line of first uses was Mike's natural soap, I have heard so many great things about it but I was left a little disappointed.
Perhaps I was expecting more but it was just ok.
given the choice from one shave, I would easily pick the Mastro Miche stick over it for slickness,scent strength and post shave feel afterwards.

early days and with a few more uses of each I might change my mind.

I finished off with a head shave using the Cyber Mild on it's own handle and I have zero complaints, it's a lovely razor but it's pretty identical to a Henson.
I am glad I got to do a good side by side comparison.
cheers @slapo .

a solid 8.5/10 shave.

I will now leave you all to enjoy your night toodles.

Tatara Amakuni
Feather professional blade
Gentlemans nod musashi set
Grizzly bay brush
Captains choice obsidian copper shaving bowl

First shave with the Amakuni.

An easy shave. Magnets hold the topcap on easily with no fear of it coming off. Blade clamping excellent. I would say this razor is on the mild side of efficiency. Able to achieve BBS however.

Safety razor : Spolo AR07 adjustable
Blade : Gillette 365
Brush : King C Gillette
Shaving soap : Arko stick
Aftershave : Saponificio Varesino Cubebe (sample)

Notes : This razor disappoints me. It has too thick a head and retains water. You really have to shake out the remaining water when cleaning and drying it. But hey, this piece of junk didn't cost much.
