Hi Paul,View attachment 27966 ~SOTD~ 12th August Saturday
Pass~Around Rocnel SE-G
Shave four.....got the blade stuck again.....this wouldn't happen in my 1912! This is not a good start to a shave, I like to feel relaxed and I normaly look forward to my shaves but having to yank a blade out after having to go and fetch a pair of pliers does not give me that Zen feeling I'm trying to attain.
The soap, my first use of this Stirling Texas on fire and I like the scent but I think it's not going to be everyones cup of tea. The smell of a forest fire in Texas!
The shave, it was harsh, really harsh when compaired to yesterdays shave with my Blackland Sabre, I may have buggered my cutting edge of my Pal super when yanking it out but I couldn't be bothered to check with a loup and then start rounding off the corners of a new blade so I carried on regardless. No more cuts from the edges of the blade since I doctored it but was pleased when the shave was over and I'm so pleased I've got BBA post shave balm, boy did I need that today.
My scent for today was Saffron, a wonderful perfume oil from Mr Perfume.
I will have my last shave with this on Monday, one last chance to redeem itself! I'm not going to ruin my Sunday shave using this razor, I think I will use my ER 1914.
Whishing you all a great weekend.......
Guess I will not be looking for A Rocnel in the near future,stick with the oldies. Just wait till you get those
1924s which have been put aside for you .
