My second ever outing on this razor, that was most unsatisfactory on the last outing. Like many
I had great difficulty getting the right angle. This time I was prepared to take it slowly, and the
Razor felt good on the face, though I had to play around and feel for that angle, which seemed to vary.
Did not time the Shave, but by not rushing I actually achieved a nice close finish on my face,
the neck was not too good.The shave action was this time quite smooth, and I suffered no mishaps or post shave irritation.

 
My Saturday shave -

Pre-shave - warm shower, Wright's cold-tar soap and Village Barber Shaving Oil
Razor - Muhle Rocca R96.
Blade - Gillette Silver Blue (day 4).
Soap - Proraso Eucalyptus & Menthol Soft Shaving Soap.
Brush - Simpsons Duke 2.
Post shave - Myrsol "Metilsol" Astringent After Shave and Kiehls Post Shave Repair Gel.

Very enjoyable shave, efficient 2 pass, slight touch-up required on the chin.

For me the Rocca R96 with the Gillette Silver Blue blade is a winning combination, I appreciate that YMMV.

Have a good day.
 
Great stuff, the Fougère, Pat. My first OSP.
 
Saturday 28th

Soap/Croap - Proraso Sandalwood
Brush - Omega 10800 boar
Face lather
Razor - Ever Ready 1912 (U.S.)
Blade - Gem Personna #2
Post - Thayer's Rose and Proraso Sandalwood a/s

The U.S. 1912 was my first foray into the SE world. I remember thinking that these things look like instruments the Inquisition would use; but they do give lovely, smooth shaves. The English variants might be a bit more assertive, but not to the extent that the American chap needs much more work to get a good finish.

Post shave feels great with the Proraso combo. Have a great weekend, everyone.
 
28/01/17:
Pre - hot bath, Wright's coal tar soap, hot towel.
Brush - Body Shop synthetic.
Soap - Cyril R Salter wild rose.
Razor - Vostok 1980s straight.
Post - cold water, alum, Nivea sensitive ASB.
Scent - Aramis Devin EDC.

Got carried away with my neck so a little raw. Cheeks smooth. Shouldn't take long to settle down.

Edit: attached photo for the first time!
