Got a CF Legacy in the mail yesterday from the Zaar, so of course I had to christen it with CF Banana. I'm very impressed with the razor. Probably should've used a fresh blade, but even still it was fantastic. I can see it turning into one of my favorites. Did a 3 pass shave with some cleanup which resulted in a DFS with no irritation (though I did stupidly nick a mole).
As a bonus, I used SW Boonana frag. Just felt right.

Prep: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser
Brush: AKA Brushworks Amethyst Watchman with 26mm AP Shave Co G5C
Razor: Chiseled Face Legacy AL
Blade: Gillette Nacet (3)
Lather: Seaforth! Sea Ice Lime
Post Shave: Alum, Stirling Mentholated Unscented Witch Hazel and Aloe, Seaforth! Sea Ice Lime Aftershave Splash, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry
Did 2 passes on my face and 3 + cleanup on my neck. Didn't do a straight ATG pass (just went south to north) and it turned out good. Not quite as smooth, but very close with less fuss. Still not completely sold on Nacet blades, though, which is a shame.
Due to the Spearhead sale, I will not be using another soap until I kill this tub so that my purchase of another SIL tub can be justified.
