A short return to DE shaving.I find DE razors less forgeving than either SE or Injectors. Though the Shave was smooth enough, did not do enough polishing up work so the result was a passable shave only. Certainly not taking a DE on Holiday, think it will be an Injector in the Hold Luggage.

Razorock 24mm synth.
P&B Star Noir.
Vostok 5/8.
Warm/alum/cold.
Fine L'orange Noir.
Argan oil.

A positively night-themed shave. Invoking images of stars, literal and figurative, the pitch-darkness and satellites in orbit. Deep musk was complimented with crisp sweetness.

A decent enough shave. The razor mowed down hairs with apparent ease but I'm not feeling particularly smooth. I think today was a lapse-in-ability day. I've had some ingrowing hairs on my neck recently so these have caused a little issue but nothing to shout home about. I think I'll use the Vostok as a practice razor for stropping for the near future as I seem to be getting far better results with my Niazi. On an aside, the Razorock synth is glorious. An eruption of lather with relative ease and beautifully soft on the face. It's chalk-and-cheese compared to the Body Shop synth it's overthrown.
