First real shave for a while, as over the last few months (since October) I'd grown a beard and the only shaves I had in this time were below the jaw/cheekbones.

Has anyone here had a beard before? To begin with, it's really itchy then it grows out and is less itchy for a few weeks then the itchyness really returns with a vengeance, requiring combing, shampooing and so on but it gets to a point where I literally couldn't having the mass of hair on my face any longer and hacked it off.

The first stage required using scissors, and the clippers on grade 1; crikey the hair gets everywhere, I did that yesterday. The second stage I undertook today, I managed to get a pretty good result with 3 passes. I'm very impressed with the Gillette New OC, much more efficient than my other vintage Gillettes and was very smooth paired with the sharp 7 Yellow.

Feels good to be fully clean shaven after months.

Have a good day gents.

Good evening all

Brush- Dcosmetics Badger
Soap- TOBS Grapefruit
Razor- Rockwell 6S R2 and then R4
Blade- GSB #3
Post- Barts Grapefruit and Pink Pepper ASL

So those that are crazy enough to read my inane ramblings might know that I've been reversing the norm on my adjustable shaves by starting on a lower setting WTG and then going higher on the ATG and XTG passes.
This has been working for me excellently and I'm now getting my closest shaves with this little method of madness.
Stay safe everyone and have a great evening.

I must try the R2 followed by R4 plate to see of it works for me too. Thanks for posting this.

Yup. Razor of the year, thus far for me (come to think of it, last year too).

Good lather from the soap. Really nice scent.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was just ok. Smooth and comfortable for 3passes except during the atg pass on chin and lips area for a dfs to ccs result. It was skippy & tuggy but fortunately did not suffer any nicks nor weepers. This is the best area to determine blade quality. This blade not so good for me. Will be ditched. Excellent post & aftershaves. Rating 9/10
