My M&F Flattop made a somewhat sloppy lather out of the LPL Rose de Pushkar. Next, I found out a Schotz is too mild for a week of beard, besides it clogged rather fast. Unwound the handle by a full turn and hair disappeared, but still a lot was left. Second pass with the handle turned back went better.
In order to judge the Schotz correctly I'll try and shave again in two days.

A while back that I used the SE..actually strange because this system shaves almost as fine as a straight.

Prep
Nyons bowl
DS Cosmetics G4 brush
Haslinger Schafmilch shaving soap
Heljestrand single edge + gem #2
Proraso alum
Humphrey's witch hazel
Tüff sensitiv, Wilkinson senso hydro balml
Eau de Ventoux vetiver

Less pressure and looking for the right angle improved the shave.

@Harkos have a nice trip.

@Rudolf1 straight or gem it is still a single edge.
