We work with the Weck, w'again. Keeping with the horse brush, and trying Noble Otter with the Slurry Lather method. Though requiring a little more loading, it went very well.
I discovered that my daughter was naughty and used my weck and the Kismet blade to cut on one of our towels. :-(

I let the soap dry out mostly between the last shave and this one, so such small loads, like half a swirl, would not fly any more. So this was a 4 swirl shave.

So I"ve been reducing load time, as the soap retains moisture... and today is to shave with just two swirls of the brush!

Lately, I've been trying the reduction of load time on my slurry lather and just 3 swirls was enough today, easily. I didn't even use the luxurious stuff left in the knot.
@gcgallant In my vid today, I referred to your face lathering method we've discussed. I"m sure I got parts wrong as I paraphrased, but I think I represented the core of it well.
I'm going to try your method in an upcoming shave soon. Why not!?

A little irritating for some reason, but on the lather front, the slurry lather just keeps on.

Trying a Nacet in the Henson, and a new divisive scent from Noble Otter.
The Nacet agrees with the Henson well, as does pretty much every blade I've tried with it.

Felt the blade more than other blades I've tried lately. I could give myself irritation if I wasn't careful.
angle difference between this head and others means this blade stays at higher angle.
