Thursday 14th November

Noble Otter Monarch
RazoRock 400 Plissoft Noir
RazoRock Game Changer .84-P
Gillette Silver Blue (3)
Superdrug Forest Fresh ASL

Silver Blue on it's third use was still keen and smooth
I find I'm getting consistently good shaves with the Game Changer now that I've got used to using it at its 'optimal' angle.
Finished with Forest Fresh ASL. It's new to me, and I'm quite impressed with it's performance, especially for the price.
Nice classic sent that lasts quite a while too

BTW, be careful on the roads in the rain
I encountered several flooded roads and lanes while at work today, and witnessed a few drivers getting themselves in to unnecessary bother

Blah blah blah razor - Ikon B1 with chrome cap
Blah blah blah cutting bit - Polsilver Lodz
Blah blah brushing thing blah - Cadman 30mm Tuxedo
Blah blah blah lather in a jar - ADP
Blah blah blah smelly - Duine Fon Choill

Busy busy busy at work. No time SOTD blah blah blah. Blah weak excuses blah blah. Blah lazy bugger really. Three days blah blah blah, lazy blokes growth. Blah Ikon is the man. All gone. Blah blah blah. Feeling super duper and smoother than the contents of a tin of treacle.

Blah blah blah
Blah blah blah
Blah blah blah

First shave with this brush, after which it bloomed considerably, with minimal shedding.
Eats a lot of soap but makes a great lather quickly. It's definitely a keeper.

Ralon AS

First run with Declaration Grooming's Dark Fall; superb, holds the most water of any soap I have used, easy to lather with cushion and slickness in abundance, solid post shave feel and a scent with real depth. A veritable 101 in how to make a shave soap - alchemy. I am now on my third Rocca!, courtesy of Muhle replacing the other two because their manufacturing tolerances were off. This Rocca is my smoothest yet and it's voice is just a delight. It has been a long journey but I finally got a Rocca as it was intended to be - very happy now. The 24mm unbleached Zenith boar brush is proving to be one of my best boar brushes; it is so much better than Zenith's bleached boar knots. Finished off with some soothing Ralon AS. A smooth, close, delightful shave - have a great weekend.
 
Prep: bath and face washed with Head and Shoulders 2 in 1 shampoo
Pre shave: Proraso white pre shave cream
Brush: omega 49 boar brush
Soap: Proraso green bowl lathered
Razor: Merkur 37C slant
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock yellow (1)
Post shave: cold water splash, alum block, cold water rinse.
Balm: Nivea Sensitive
Aftershave: Tabac
The combination of the 37C and Gillette blade suited me. It was a very easy BBS 3 pass shave with no irritation and comfortable alum rub.
