SOTD : Saturday 20th February to Friday 26th February 2021

Pre: hot shower, bluebeards revenge preshave oil
Tobs rose shaving cream
Brush: omega 49 professional boar
Razor: Rockwell 6s (plate 3)
Blade: nacet (3)
After; cold water, alum block, brut aftershave

Mostly BBS shave - next time will step up to plate 4 on Rockwell. For my liking plate 3 seems to be a tad too mild still . Nacet was sharp and smooth still on its third outing, was tempted to keep it for fourth but until my technique gets much better I'll keep to 3 uses on most blades. Really enjoyable shave overall

Soap RazoRock Puros
Brush BOTI 26mm Fan Silvertip
Razor Gillette New SC
Blade Gillette London Bridge 2nd
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Clubman Brandy Spice
Good quality lather from the soap. Like the scent but it's just too light. Struggled to sniff the nice aromatic tobacco scent...
Shave with the vintage razor paired with the blade was very good and perfectly matched. So smooth and comfortable for 3passes without any issues for a mostly BBS result. Excellent aftershaves!

Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave...I've mentioned before in many of my SOTD postings, the Ever Ready 1912 (US) was my first introduction to the wonderful world of Ever Ready SE vintage razors kindly gifted to me by @Pat-W.... From my first trepidation maiden shave, i was instantly swooned by these vintage ladies, not just the looks the smooth efficiency of these razors is remarkably good as is the audio feedback i could happily shave with these razors forever but like everyone else i like to rotate my razors in my shave set ups.

A relaxing 3 pass + pick ups Close comfortable Sunday morning shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Beautiful shave this morning with the Henckels getting a little better with each shave still taking quite a few touch ups to get BBS suppose it just gets easier to get smoother with less passes the more experience you have. Really enjoyed this one and I’m super happy with the razor @RussellR5555 being very careful with the strop and loving the straight journey, will I ever go back to DE ? That would be a no may use one from time to time but straight shaving is definitely a much more rewarding experience, looking forward to adding further to the collection
