Wed 18th On the Road SOTD
Soap The Goodfellas Smile Abysso
Brush Yaqi 24mm Silvertip
Razor Yaqi DLC
Blade Pro 500 Platinum 2nd
Aftershaves
Special Thayers Mix
Hyaluronic + Axe Signature Denim
Excellent soap with nice scent and performance.
Shave with razor paired with blade was good. Sharpish, smooth and comfortable for 3+1passes for a mostly bbs to dfs/ccs result.
Rating 9.7/10

Prep= warm shower followed by Proraso pre shave cream.
Razor= Rockwell 6s R3
Blade= Nacet
Brush= Semogue HD Badger
Soap = SV Felce
AS= Proraso Green (menthol)
Moisturiser = Keihl's Facial Fuel
Going for comfort rather than chasing a BBS. Concentrated on removing shaving soap. No pressure. Almost BBS after WTG, XTG and then ATG. The Rockwell is really reliable - for me its design makes it difficult for me to get weepers or nicks. But am still obsessing about an open comb or God forbid, a straight (cut throat) ,old fashion razor.

Open comb - may I recommend the Blackland Tradere? As ever YMMV; at the moment I am loving it - what I have saved on commuting costs, I managed to put into that purchase.

All the best,
