Firstly, the Dice are wrong, however i could not be bothered to do another photo, they should be on 9.
A very easy 2 pass shave today, i really like this Hawk V3, for me it just works, no matter what AC blade i put in it.
There is hopefully 3 shaves left in the OSP trial cream, if it comes out and the den soaps reduce a (fair) bit it will be added to the stock.
Enjoy the weekend everyone and remember :-
Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Friday's Shave

Cold Water Rinse
PSC Caffeinated Shave Cream
Jayaruh #30 Silvertip
Unmentionable by Tom
Unmentionable Blade
CWR
PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm

The PSC Caffeinated Shave Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Unmentionable by Tom with an Unmentionable Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Today was my first use of the MARS (Modular Adjustable Razor System).  I have all 10 insert plates and opted for using insert 6 based on the very limited (as of now) reviews of the razor.  My prep consists of just a hot shower and then face lathering the soap selected.

MARS razor; insert #VI
1/2 Astra SP blade
C-MON Deluxe boar brush
Mitchell's Wool Fat soap
Preferred Stock Aftershave

   

The MARS performed very well.  The handle is comfortable in the hand and has texture to provide a good grip, even when wet.  My typical 2 pass, WTG & XTG, provided for excellent results.  The razor is fairly light and with the #6 insert, efficient.  I did have one weeper, but that was the blade catching on a small scar on my chin which happens with most razors.  All-in-all a very enjoyable shave with a well thought out and designed razor.  I will be using it for the next few shaves to see if the blade/insert combination is able to be improved upon.
