The 1912 is up there as the most efficient razor I've ever used. 3 passes and NO touch-ups , amazing.
Love the Pitralon aftershave, just wish the scent lasted longer.

Have a great week Gents.

Sunday 8th October

The Fat
Razorock 400
Rockwell 6C plate 6
Astra SP (3)
Blue Stratos

Only a day and a half growth, I usually shave every other day .
I hadn't used my Wool Fat soap for a while and it was a pleasurable experience as always.
I don't have any problems making a good lather with it like some others report. I don't bloom it, just go straight in with a damp brush and it finds it's way in to the knot quite quickly.
Two passes and I was rewarded with a very smooth result.
I'm surprised by how good the Blue Stratos aftershave performs. I can definitely feel it hydrating my shaved skin for a good couple of hours after applying it. For the price it's very good value.
 
Saturday 7th October



Hotel Soap
Supermax 3 Shaving cream
Omega S10018 Synthetic Brush
Gillette Guard Razor
Hotel Moisturising Lotion
Golden Dust Perfume Oil

Taking part in the Ride to the Wall over the weekend....so minimal supplies.
Three passes for a BBS

Monday 9th October



Birch Tar soap
3P Preshave Cream
Vitos Green Soap
Omega 10098 Boar Brush
Giles Shaving Company Bowl
Focus R28 shavette
Alum Block and rinse
Homemade Buttermix
Floid The Original AS

First time I used the R28 and I was impressed. This is probably the best 'snapped blade' shavette I have ever used. I picked a very forgiving blade so was happy with a 3 pass dfs+ shave.

Hope you all have a great week!

I don't know anything about this razor and this is my first shave with it, brb.
Well not bad, a touch on the mild side, pick ups required. I'll try the Single Ring top cap on it tomorrow to see if that makes a difference.
I normally try a new razor out with MWF but I broke that superstition today as I was committed to having a sandlewood week this week. I'm glad I did, the Sanskrit scent is wonderful and as usual the @phoenixandbeau soap performed superbly.

Razor ~ Rockwell 6c
Blade ~ Personna Platinum
Soap ~ Stirling, Texas on fire
Brush ~ SOC Badger
Scuttle ~ Giles Shaving Co
Post ~ BBA Post shave balm
Scent ~ Roja Amber Aoud, Oil from Mr Perfume

Another great shave from the 6c on loan from Wayne Pritchard, good man, :) This blade worked well as I suspect most blades will with this razor.
The soap was fab with a great scent, and I was left as smooth skinned as I require.... Super smooth!
BBA PSB followed by a dab or three of this wonderful perfume oil.
Everything in the world today is perfect :)

Have a great day people...... :)
