WTG,XTG then ATG. Very smooth shave- no cuts or weepers to report. The Rockwell 6S is very easy to use ( I am never ,so far, aware of any risk of cutting skin rather than stubble- may get bored with this razor but am trying to stick to one razor in my collection as I dont want my hobby to get out of hand).

TFS Crazy Sandalwood
Simfix Barrule 2 band super
MÜHLE R41 on Ikon handle
Gillette Silver Blue
Bart's Balm Amber and Moroccan Jasmine
Another very good shave today. Excellent lather with the little Simfix and TFS soap. Two passes with the R41 and a smooth face was the result. The GSB blade seems to work with every razor I own. I'm in a happy place today, and the sun is shining.

A very relaxing shave.
I'm now closing in on the last couple of things I want to add to the den for the foreseeable future and, as part of my strategy to cut back on my expenditure, I'm going to be posting in the SOTD thread a little less often…it's just too much to see all these fine shaving accoutrements when one has a tendency towards addiction.
Stay safe and enjoy the rest of the week and the weekend all
Pre-shave:- Cold Water straight from the tap Bowl/Scuttle:- Captain's Choice Brush:- Yaqi Sagrada Familia Tuxedo Synth. 24/53mm knot Soap/Cream:- Stirling Pumpkin Spice Razor/Blade:- EJ 3one6 / Voskhod #9 Post/After-shave:- T.N. Dickinson Witch Hazel Astringent mixed into the 240ml bottle with Invite E High Potency Pure Oil (30 drops), Natural Plant Glycerin (20) & Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic (5) Fragrance:- Tommy Hilfiger for Men
The Stirling Pumpkin Spice really takes me back to my childhood when my grandmother always make pumpkin pie every winter season, the only issue keeps clicking my brain, I don't remember IF I ever had Pumpkin Spice pie
You guys really need to get yourself a sample of the Stirling Pumpkin Spice, because, I really enjoy it very much.
Despite impersonating a spin drier didnt get a good lather and I'm wondering if its my slightly hard water? One of my neighbours farms has a spring which has (according to ancient locals) miraculous properties water into wine, liquid viagra, total immersion gives everlasting life etc. Apart from the latter extras its supposed to be amazingly soft water so might shave using it and put my theory to the test.
*I got hold of a 6S and using the 4 plate got a pleasant result. I'm usually wary of supplied blades after unfortunate results with Merkur but no complaints with these.

Used the little Muhle again, it really can work out a quick copious lather out of these little pucks.Find it very hard not to get a good Shave with The ATT SE-1 , with a lather like today it was a doddle and quick too.
