Great set up Paul.BBA Pre Shave Oil
Simpsons Colonel X2L
Wickham 1912 Irish Fern
Rockwell 6C plate
Wilkinson Sword ((England)) (1)
Lime witch hazel
Nivea 2 Phase Aftershave
An easy comfortable shave to remove two days growth.
I don't often use any pre shave these days but I'm pleased I did tonight
A few drops of BBA oil provided extra glide for the shave, and seems to have absorbed, nourishing my skin. Four hours after shaving I can still feel it. Excellent stuff.
I needed to take the brush back to the soap for the second pass. This brush has always behaved this way, although it only needed a few light swirls to reawaken the lather. I've only used it ten times maximum, so maybe it's breaking in.
The Wilkinson / Rockwell combo is a class act. As smooth as silk and very effective. Almost effortless, almost as if the razor was on auto pilot.
I'm conscious that I have a limited supply of these blades, so I tend to look upon using them as a bit of a treat.
Finished with Nivea 2 Phase. I think I over did it a bit as my skin felt greasy for a while after applying it , but it was soon absorbed.
Between this and the shave oil, my skin feels super hydrated.
Great set up Paul.
I used the same brush yesterday and I totally agree with your findings. it is a superb brush but I had to return to the soap half way through the shave.
...........and you need say know more with regards to the 6c. I used mine today on plate 6 and what a perfect DE razor it is .
