NEW BRUSH/NEW SOAP AND TOP OF THE LINE TITHENA
On @Mr. Shavington recommendation, I purchased the KaliFlower Citrus/Cedar shave soap. I did that cause he is almost never wrong. The soap was a very mild citrus scent off the puck and gets a bit stronger while being lathered. At no time is the scent greater than 4. I am still experimenting with the water to soap ratio but it appears to have good slickness. It is just not a high lather soap. The Brush was the Oumo Exceed 5 with the 29mm ST1 knot. This is just a fantastic brush. It creates lather quickly, has good backbone and is very soft on the skin, eg STF quality, maybe better.
But as always, the STAR OF THE SHAVE WAS THE TITANIUM ATHENA. Using a shallow angle, the razor just mows down the stubble with zero irritation. There is very slight blade feel, but, if you start to go with a steep angle, you will experience more blade feel. The great thing about @Lambda Razors Titanium Athena is that even with the steeper angle and increased blade feel, the shave is smooth and efficient with no irritation.
PRE: PRORASO BLUE
BLADE: DORCO PRIME
SOAP: KALIFLOWER CITRUS/CEDAR. (on Etsy)
RAZOR: TITANIUM ATHENA
BRUSH: OUMO EXCEED ST1 29MM
BOWL: NORTON CUSTOM DESIGN
POST: WARM/COLD RINSE. LATHER WASH, ALUM (zero burn), WITCH HAZEL
A/S: SPEICK A/S
SCORE: 9.5/10. BBS (only the soap kept it from being a 10)

RAD is just a permanently temporary condition. I'll get over it.. eventually.
