Used plate III of the razor today as I had 5 days of growth to eliminate. I forgot just how smooth and efficient it is, albeit probably too aggressive for more regular use.
Razor: Heljestrand 14 (7/8", full hollow, carbon steel)
Lather: Eleven Shaving – 5
Post Shave: №4711 – Echt Kölnisch Wasser
Fragrance: Acqua di Parma – Blu Mediterraneo Arancia di Capri
It looks like Spearhead has reached its ceiling (not yet official, wait for u/ShavingInCT's post). I'd have loved to see Dennis go further, but third place is a great result. Congrats!

I switched the razor but didn't take a new picture. The Heljestrand 14 is a wonderful! Great shave. Have a great Friday all.
It’s incredibly soft and feels good. It’s probably the best synth I’ve tried yet, albeit I haven’t tried many. I’m gonna use it for awhile and how I settle into it.
Blade: Personna Twin Pivot Plus Refills, Atra (10)
Lather: Barrister & Mann - Promises - Soap
Post Shave: Old Spice - Original - Aftershave
Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral
An interesting scent, this one. I've never smelled Nordost, but if that one is orange and woodsmoke, and this one is orange and exhaust smoke, Will should have named this Nordexhaust.

Such a pretty razor…
What were your initial thoughts on the G5C?

I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on how it compares with the Quartermoon.

First shave with 3 Scots was real nice, I'm definitely glad I picked up this set.
It was a great run in MM for Spearhead, I'm glad to see them in the top 3. Tomorrow is looking like it'll be a nail biter!
Have a great Friday everyone.
