So how does this lather look, Im using Logona Mann shaving cream that I was able to find here in Japan for a decent price. Ill get some more supplies for a more reasonable price when I go back home for holidays.

This is the lather before the first pass. I think it was ok, a little dry so I added water to the mix before the next pass.

The brush after applying the first lather (I should have taken the photo before applying!)

Before the second pass. I noticed it was a little watery after taking the pic, so I worked it in a bit more.
Any comments?

Been shaving with this set up for a while now. Making the most of whats available over the counter here in Japan.
Preshave shower and wash with fancy Korean soap
Razor - Muhle R89
Blade - Feather (only thing available in the local pharmacy)
Cream - Logona Mann
Brush - Marks and Web (Japanese cosmetics store) Badger hair maple handle brush. Beautiful maple stand that came with it too!
Post shave - Warm rinse, alum, cold rinse, Nivea balm.
Shaving has been going well. I attempted a ATG pass last week and really tore the crap out of one side of my neck. I blamed it on poor technique and the Feathers.
I tried some Derbies I got with my alum block last week and found them to be a little too dull. They don't cut as well as the feathers, and I had put more pressure on to get a close shave. Im not looking for super smooth, so I usually only do two passes.
I switched back to the Feathers today and had probably my nicest shave to date. And I think I got my first no pressure shave too.
All in all, enjoying it! Also enjoying learning from the forums!
I ordered this blade sample pack and some merkurs so that I can try out a few types. Unfortunately I cant get samples shipped from the US or the UK amazon sites.

Anyone have any experience with these blades?
