A great shave today, an easy face lather with the wonderful Machrie soap and little Yaqi, i really like the scent of these Arran soaps, light and fresh,
The Pass-around razor set on #6 and fitted with the Nos Blade was really smooth today, i am really enjoying this blade thank you @Blademonkey for the PIF. On Shave 4 and still as smooth as butter.
3 Passes for a super close and comfortable finish.
A really nice post shave with the matching Balm and A/S setting me up for what looks like a nice day.

On a sad note,
The Fatboy i bought turned up yesterday - the adjuster seized solid and no quarter turn, its been repacked to go back to the seller after a few emails and getting the site involved. I cannot believe i did not follow my own rules and ask the right questions before buying.

I'm pleased you are getting on with the blades Tony, I've got a grey grizzly stubble that is quite tough and I've managed to get six shaves from one of those blade's, you may get more, let me know, i will be interested to find out. :)

Pre-Shave: Warm face wash
T&H Pre-Shave Oil
Razor: Rockwell 6C (3)
Blade: Tiger Platinum (first use)
Brush: Omega Pure Badger
Cream: Castle Forbes Lime
Post Shave: Alum Block
Trumper Limes Skin Food
Castle Forbes Lime ASB
Cologne: T&H West Indian Limes

Probably 1st time using CF Lime in a long time. It’s now the season for it though. Trumper Lime skin food and CF Lime ASB left skin feeling silky smooth. 1st time with a Tiger Platinum blade and must admit was pleasantly surprised. 3 pass shave with minimal touch ups gave a BBS shave with absolutely no irritation or feedback from alum.
