My son recently acquired a 3d printer. The travel brush holder is the result of my search on Thingiverse. It's a perfect fit for the Chinese synth brush and both will be a useful addition to my travel kit.

Pleasing Monday two pass shave with the full Rockwell combination of razor and blade. I felt that the blade was not too impressive, smooth but not as sharp as most of my other blades. I still had an excellent shave from the Rockwell 6S, and I really do like the scent of the Steampunk soap.
With a change of handle the Razor became very head heavy. I found that the head when working the upper
face just sheared away the growth effortlessly only needing guidance. The whole Shave was smooth and comfortable, with a superb all round close finish.

4711 Aftershave
I've no idea how many times this Silver Blue had been used - I don't always keep count.
It didn't feel as though it was past it's best, but I would rather lean on the side of caution than suffer irritation next time out.
Meissner Lavender Deluxe is a pleasure to use - thick and creamy and very good protection and post shave feel.
Finished with 4711 - smooth and fragrant once more

A nice workday shave. Put in a Nacet, after using a Derby for the last few days. The Nacet gave a great BBS shave, a good way to start the week.
