Had a delightful day of freedom with the kids at Lapland UK, started with a delightful shave with the accomplished 6s. Possibly the smoothest razor I have after the twig and never a chore always effortlessly great.
Many thanks for all the anniversary wishes. Unfortunately the wife is still locked up isolating but me and the kids had a great time!

EAC85217-3925-438F-991F-60FA6449C65E.jpegBrilliant shave today & a first for 4 days,
iv been a bit under the weather with flu symptoms but definitely not flu but a nightmare nonetheless.
I decided to go with plate 6 on the rockwell & it was a good decision, mowing through my 4 day growth.
Also a first for me with the PAA blade,
i want to criticise it but i can’t it genuinely was a great shave. Obviously the test will be after a couple of shaves but certainly after the first shave it’s up there with Gillette Blues, London Bridge, etc etc.
Another first for me was the Soap the wife bought it for me when i was away purely because it’s Aquarius her star sign with Pinnacle Grooming doing all the star signs.
The Shave was Basically a 10/10 but as i say i’ll reserve judgement on the blades until my third shave.
Onwards & Upwards
