Excellent 3 pass shave. Nearly finished the Vectis soap and can't wait to try out the new range of Signature soaps.The Rockwell Razor is the best Razor I've ever used (I've only got 1 other razor, the Razorock gamechanger) it's so easy to use, so forgiving and it never fails to impress me. Enjoy your weekend and stay safe.
Thanks Pete, I’m at Sale Makersmarket tomorrow if you’re about pop down. Regards Brian

SOTD 15-Jan
20220114_145115.jpg
Brush: C&H 'Casanova'
Soap: Stirling Carmichael
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Schick Proline P-30 (3)
Post: Stirling Carmichael

Excellent scent on the carmichael and fantastic lather, weird having a smaller volume from Stirling but honestly probably a good thing otherwise I'd never get through it! Vector very smooth and efficient, very pleased.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend of it!

Cheers

Marc

SOTD: 15/01/2022

Razor: Gem Micromatic
Blade: Gem Blade, 1st use
Brush: Yaqi Yaqi Green Obsidian Silvertip Silvertip Badger
Bowl: Captains Choice Copper Lather Bowl Standard Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: Seaside Soap And Skin Care Lemon Puck
Aftershave: Stirling Campania EDT
Additional Care: Osma Laboratoires Alum Block

I don’t normally go for a new razor, new brush, new soap combination but luck was with me and each element was great! The soap smells great though loses some strength when lathered but is a lovely medium strong pure lemon scent.
The Yaqi Obsidian was a defect bargain but I only detect a slight bump and can’t see anything on the handle, so I’ve struck lucky with it! Randomly despite arguably the lowest quality knot of my silvertip brushes, I’d say it feels the nicest and softest to me! I need to hunt more out to compare I guess.
The micromatic gem razor was another kind loan from Dan, @ATG. I was curious to see what the difference was, seeing gem razors on SOTD and not having a clue about them. I was also a little apprehensive as the blade is thicker to what I’m used to, it looked like it had loads of blade exposed and was an open comb, all worries for me normally. I needn’t have worried, after a few slow tentative strokes, it was clear this old razor was a delicate baby that just looked like a bit of a brute! I shaved this morning BBS and I still have hardly any growth now! So this is another hole to dive down!
So much for slowing purchases down this year! Two weeks in and I’ve a new Tech on the way, a new brush and soaps and now want a Gem razor too!
