DeHaven Sunday. Model 2 with NOS blade (honed and stropped) started rough but second and third passes were better. A surprising near BBS with no blood spilled. Model 3 with a fresh Plus Platinum very effectively handled the head shave, plenty of blade feel but smooth enough. Two pass plus BBS.

One days growth only
Two passes XTG in opposite directions and ATG
The Yaqi brush tackled it's first soap with ease. Plenty of lather created in no time.
Treet Carbon blades second and last use. I don't like to push these blades too far.
Finished with Mr Perfume Tom Neroli Portafino . I really like the smell of this perfume oil, but I find it's not very long lasting.
I needed a bit of pampering today after insulating the loft. Not too itchy but never a nice job

Evening shave.
Baxters of California Face Wash, BBA Shave Oil.
RazoRock Caribbean Holiday Soap.
Maseto 30mm 2 Band Finest.
Little Wren Pottery.
Rockwell 6C (plate 4).
Gillette Silver Blue (1).
Fine Platimum Aftershave.
BBA Post Shave Balm.
Slightly odd consistency to this soap, and it is dark brown! Not that keen on the scent either. But the Maseto whipped it up in to a very rich, creamy lather, although it perhaps lacked a little glide compared to soaps I have been using recently. Nethertheless, a very comfortable 3 pass shave was had and my skin feels smooth and hydrated. All set for an evening falling asleep in front of the TV.

Longevity with most citrus based fragrances is a common problem @Paul L. I'd recommend getting a good unscented moisturiser & apply it about 5 minutes or so before applying a fragrance.Sunday 13th August

RazoRock Syn. 22 mm
OSP Bay Rum
Brass General & S/S Handle
Feather Pto ( 3 )
Alum Rub / Rinse off
Bay Rum A/S Splash
Tried a different S/S Handle with the General.Perhaps a little bit long and heavy. However,still enjoyed the feel of the knurled Handle as opposed to the original.
The resultant Shave was smooth and easy, with a good all round finish, perhaps not as good as that attained with the shorter Handle.

Razor: Charcoal Goods Level 1 OC - copper handle copper plated head (1st shave)
Blade: Personna Med Prep (1)
Brush: Wolf Whiskers with Brad Sears silvertip (2nd shave)
Soap: Wolf Whiskers "Wolf Scent" (1st shave)
The OC razor continues the Charcoal Goods Lvl 1 tradition of mild and yet very efficient. The handle is 3" but feels longer with knob at the bottom. Thinner handle and thus approx. 90 grams. Nice brush handle and knot. The scent of the soap did remind me of the woods and I will assume with wolves. Overall, best shave in a week.
