French Pink Clay & Charcoal Face Soap

Yaqi AC V1 w/Muhle Rocca R95 Handle
Schick ProLine P30 (1)
Gillette Series Cool Wave Aftershave

Starting a week of classic shaving sticks ...

Derby, Arko, LEA, Vie Long, Wilkinson Sword, Palmolive & Speick. Tonight, Derby.

I've also swapped out the now used once Kai Captain Mild (Pink) for a Schick ProLine P30, generously sent to me by @mpf9ret - I'll go back to the Kai blade in a short while, but today I have irritable regrowth which is indicative to me of a less than sharp enough blade. I commented that from the off, it felt like a three day old Feather. More like four or five, when the sharpness is discernably dropping off. The Schick kinda feels like a once used Feather - it's sharp, it's smooth, but it's not going to slice your jugular if you're not watching.

Good shave, with a consistent feel all over from a single pass. I'm enjoying the balance of this razor with the large, but hollow (and so light) Muhle Rocca handle which makes for a really natural pairing.

Vintage Gillette Series Cool Wave with oakmoss in the ingredients, from an era before it because popular to synthesise. Oakmoss does to me what catnip does for cats! What a joy!

The Proraso as always doesn’t disappoint and is just what I needed to wake me up to face 83C9792F-3296-42D2-9556-A4C36A3DD68B.jpegthe week!
The Shark Blade is great, there really isn’t a blade I’ve found so far the Twig can’t tame.
The Baxter’s tonic was lovely again and complemented the refreshing Proraso Green.

Brilliant shave for me today
I’m starting to really enjoy the Rockwell and i reckon plate 4 is my go to.
probably my go to razor really, iv i’m in any doubt what to use then i normally pick up the 6s.
Also loving this soap and hopefully within a few days there’s another on it way to me here in Norway, the Almond Leathef this time which smells class, as the wife sent me out the balm last month by accident.

Yet another excellent shave with the Rockwell 6s . Shave of the night but it was very refreshing - just what I needed so I can stay awake few more hours.

Blade performed - still nice and sharp on its third outing. Quite smooth too. Definitely will make it to top 5 of my favourite blades, however more on the lower end of them.

one weeper where I nicked the spot however other than that an excellent shave.

Soap The Goodfellas Smile Abysso
Brush Yaqi 24mm Silvertip
Razor Yaqi AC Aluminum
Blade KAI ProGuard MG 3rd
Post & Aftershaves Alum + Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Hyaluronic + TGS Abysso
Nice soap with a good scent and easy to lather qualities producing a creamy and slick layer...had a great time face lathering with the nice brush!
Shave with razor paired with the blade was very smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable 3passes without any issues resulting in a mostly bbs result. Excellent aftershaves too.
