SOTD: Saturday 4th December - Friday 10th December 2021.

Face wash then Proraso White pre shave

Soap: Proraso Blue cream

Brush: RR 400

Razor: R6S / R3

Blade: Astra SP #1

Post Shave: Alum block - Proraso balm (White, Blue and Green mixed)

DE Shave #58

It's been a couple of weeks since I last used the R6S and was looking forward to using it again. Sadly, the safe, smooth and closeness of today's shave has made me realise it's time to try and find a new home for one of my other razors.

This blade is still as smooth as ever, i understand that it has only been running on 2 pass shaves, however, the results speak for themselves, it will be binned after tomorrows shave regardless.
A really nice face lather today with "The Fat" giving me a really nice slick covering.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Feather Professional
Post: Cold Water and PAA Space Nog

Cracking shave this morning, vector performing well, stuttered a little on the final ATG pass, might have had the angle off as I was becoming a little lax. Still chuffed with the purchase, one more go tomorrow will likely put the final nail in the coffin of my Hawk.

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

The blocky razor was unusually nimble this morning, perhaps because of the fantastic lather. The shave was a wonderful warm note of Italy on a dark and rainy morning.

Gillette London Bridge Stainless (1)
Old Spice (Vintage) Aftershave

I dub the Muhle Rocca: Van Helsing ... the Fearless Vampire Killer!!!

Gillette honed a particulalry sharp edge onto the London Bridge and while it's probably no sharper than, say, the Sharp Edge, it is prone to giving a playful nip! In the Rocca? Nah! Smooth running throughout ...

Great, great shave. Every part was a highlight.
Super slick lather, killer combo for razor/blade and post shave was a fitting end to this class list of ingredients.
Very near BBS finish - more gratifying when you don't chase it.
Take care all and enjoy your shaves
