SOTD: 3/7/2017 - "Like Glass"

Pre: Workout, sauna, hot shower & The Well Groomed Guy pre-shave oil
Brush: Semogue 620 Boar
Soap: Captain's Choice Bay Rum
Razor: Rockwell Razors 6s and blade on R4 plate. Packed in Range Leather Co travel case
Post: Well Groomed Guy Facial Moisturizer and Serum & Captain's Choice "Cat O' Nine Tails" splash

They don't get much finer. This soap is underrated. Quick, slick, and cushioned lather that just kept going. My shaved head is so smooth it's reflective.

Also decided to feature my TaoTronics bluetooth headphones from my workout. LOVE these things.

Be smooth and shave it up, everyone!

Full tilt Razorock today, very nice shave too. Say what you want about the vendor but the products are good for the price point. A fine razor too, very nice shave with the Kai Pinks, not tried any other blades. Just have to get my technique down but so far so good.

Good evening gentlemen,
I will apologise in advance, no picture this evening, too late getting home, but still managed a thoroughly enjoyable shave.
It had to be tabac soap, it's definitely my favourite, merkur razor with a polsilver si blade on its third outing, definitely at its smoothest today, but I'm still binning it as I have so many blades to try.
The grosvenor brush seems to be really coming in to its own now, the boar hair is softening, but the brush is not becoming (floppy) which my other two purchases are, I presume this is what is meant by having back bone?
Finished off with the thayers witch hazel, and parfums de Marley's Herod .
Really really enjoyed tonight's shave and feel good.
Ooh, also met up with the thoroughly nice chap "blade monkey " today on my travels.
What a great day.

DR Harris Arlington
Florida Water
Second use of DR Harris Arlington. God Bless them. Loaded for roughly two minutes, a well churned, up to a wonderful and thick lather. If some time I bore myself with the MWF, this is a perfect alternative. And what a subtle and well build scent.

Arlington is great, yes!
 
Tonight's testing shave with the Rockwell 6S on plate no. 6, Pal on high and SP on medium plate.
I have to say the Rockwell on 6 is fantastically smooth and efficient DE. I like its eloquence which makes sure you are aware it cuts. Used with a fresh Polsilver.
The Pal on high is a very good shaver and I like it. I used it with a fresh Schick blade.
The SP on medium plate is more efficient than the Pal on high and really a superior shave as well. Used it with a Schick on its second outing.
