I didn't expect much from this combination, frankly.  But my cheap $12 VDH razor, coupled with the Bolazno blade and the Palmolive shave cream delivered a 10/10.  
Just amazing. It goes to show you don't have to spend a fortune to get a great shave.

Shower: Dove Men+Care soap bar
PreShave: Rex PreShave Bar
Razor: Yates 921 with H Plate
Blade: Gillette Platinum, day 2
Soap: A&E Signature
Bowl: Timeless
Brush: Razorock Big Bruce
PostShave: CWR, Alum, Lucky Strike
Balm: Proraso Green
EdT: Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille

Another great BBS with the Yates, today with the H plate. Thinking of getting a titanium version of the 921 so trying to decide what plate(s) to get with it. So far for sure the EH plate, maybe the H but not sure yet. The H plate is pretty mild by very efficient razor standards, so probably just get an EH and be done with it. 

The A&E Signature is a fantastic bourbon and tobacco scent. Just awesome. Makes me think I'm in a distillery. Since I did that scent this morning I felt it fitting to finish off with some Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille EdT - another great scent that just feels like you're at a working distillery, there's some leather and pipe smokers in the background, and life is good. Really awesome. 

Hope my brothers are all well, blessings, and thanks for reading!
