First outing with the MÜHLE Rocca brush in Silvertip Fiber. This is a solid chunk of metal at 120g and it feels much heavier than any of my other brushes, in a good way. It does, however, contrast with the Rocca razor which is comparatively light for a stainless steel razor. The shave was excellent, the lather rich and the razor/blade combination exceptionally smooth. A good start to the day.

Brush: Black Anvil Custom 24mm High Mountain White
Razor: Gieson & Forsthoff Solingen Timor Blue Steel 6/8
Soap: Old Spice
Post: Old Spice Splash

The brush is superb for face lathering. The cloud soft tips provide a special experience.
I keep turning to this razor as it is my favourite (at the moment

) of my humble collection. It holds a perfect super sharp edge.

Its been a while since I had a bit of old spice and I have realised I must use it more often. I love the lingering old school scent and it is a good performer on top of being cheap as chips.

Enjoy your shaves.

A very pleasing 2 pass shave - WTG and XTG face, with WTG and ATG neck. DFS + finish, no issues to report.

The MDC lather up beautifully today; meringue like peaks - superb lubrication. I have been looking for some Swiss Pitralon for a while. ordered some from Spain. First impressions - scent okay (I get a bit of green pear); not much of a tingle, however, skin felt amazing :) Well worth the wait.

Some 13 hours after the shave, skin still feels good.

All the best,

Chris
