Pre Shave: Hot Shower + L'Oreal Pure Power Charcoal Face Wash and Proraso white
Razor: Fatip Piccolo
Blade: NOS Gillette Blue Extra 1963 (#4)
Brush: Razorock 400 Aluminium
Soap: Kent
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Humphreys Witch Hazel
AS: Nivea Soothing Balm.

Superb shave, not sure how long one of these Blue Extra blades last but it still feels good on shave number 4. The Razorock synthetic worked well on the Kent soap and face lathering, it is a different feel to my Badger and Boar brushes but it is working well so far.

After using the hefty Cobra for the last few days, the aluminium Leresche felt like a toy in my hand.
It doesn't shave like a toy that's for sure, smoothly efficient, resulting in a great Saturday morning shave.
Have a great weekend everyone.
 
Delicate OCtober SOTD today as the handle on the NEW Milady Decolletee is very small. Twas a great shave though. [emoji41]

Initially I paired the R41 head with the handle from my EJ89 3D which was a good combination. However paired with the Parker 24C handle it was phenomenal. Every time I use this combination an excellent 3 pass shave results in BBS. I can also use many different blades - Shark SS, Astra SP, Rapira Swedish Supersteel etc - and get the same result. Glad you enjoyed the frankenrazor . :D

Not the prettiest razor head I own but it's deceptively smooth yet effective. A few touch ups required around the chin, but not a bad razor.
Boots Freshwood ASB is the best budget skin product I've tried. It's easily absorbed and leaves the skin silky and smooth. But of course ymmv.
