A very pleasant two pass shave this morning. The MÜHLE Rocca head with the Ikon handle turned in an exemplary performance, smooth and close. The razor no longer matches the brush, but I can use it with more confidence, so the combination may prevail.

Nice soap...creamy and slick lather with pleasant scent. Enjoyed creating it with the brush.
Shave with razor paired with blade was really nice. Sharp, smooth and comfortable for 3+1passes without any issues. Very close shave. Good razor and good blade! Rating 9.8/10

Day 25 of Signature September

Razor- Merkur 34c

Blade- Gillette Silver Blue

Brush- Yaqi Sagrada Familia

Soap- Signature Valentia

Post- Nivea sensitive


Been sticking to Signature September and enjoying every shave but been busy with work etc so they've been scarce.

Weather getting a tad colder too so the Valentia with Sandalwood, Bergamot and Vetiver got the call up and done a great job.

Find myself reaching more and more for the GSB...what a blade!

Happy Friday one and all.
 
Shaves of the week 19th to 25th September

Managed to have my first break in 6 months in Angelsey.

For the first couple of days......


Vie Long/AP Shave Cashmere - Eco Warrior Shave Bar - Broman SE/GSB - Segno EDP

For the rest of the week.......


Simpson Eagle 3 = Mitchell's Wool Fat - Broman SE/GSB - Segno EDP

The Eco Warrior soap was used as a shave stick. Really good stuff. It will be a regular.
Rather surprising to me....the Broman gave 7 stellar shaves on half a Gillette Silver Blue blade.
An added bonus was that because we were totally private....I could take photos outside without neighbours thinking I am mad!
