Another very nice comfortable shave with the MDFRITW Rocnel SE-P, i decided to try and make him a bit more eye catching by adding the Blackland Dart Handle, @RussellR5555. at the end of the day he doesn't half deliver. 3 passes for a BBS comfortable shave.
A nice face Lather with the Jayaruh #355 and pro green ( the soap label was swapped to a re used super-drug AS 100ml bottle to decant the large bottle into as and when i need it).
Stay safe All and enjoy your day.

I have no idea what any of this product line is, but to quote Varucca Salt ‘I want it now!'
A traditional looking design, classic gear, a gent in a fedora ( why not a bowler? )
And it's called the chap! Could you tell me a little bit about it?
Good show all the way ‘round.

Soap - Proraso Green
Brush - Yaqi Plissoft
Razor - Ball End Tech
Blade - Voskhod (1)
Post - Witch Hazel
AS - Bens Bay Rum w/Pimento

Does anyone else keep a few different blades with a number of different shaves on them opposed to just using the same blade continuously? I'm generally off the former and usually seem to always have a stack of partly used blades which I like to rotate in use like I do my razors/soaps. For a change, I decided to use up my existing partly used blades (which seemed to take forever) and just use the one blade continously.
As I picked up a few weepers in yesterday's shave I went for one of the milder blades in my stocks, a Voskhod which seemed like it wasn't really removing much growth for the first pass but seemed to get there in the end for results by the end of the 2nd/3rd passes.
The lather wasn't the best, I seemed to need quite a lot of soap to get it going but I am approaching finishing the jar which if I manage to do I may end up weeping tears of joy.

Anyway chaps, I hope you have a good start to the week.

Yes I do the same thing. I have probably 10+ Blades on rotation similarly with the razors, brush and soaps/creams. Some blades works better in some razors and some don't. That's the fun of it...trying different combos and pairings.
Good shaves to to you too and keep safe

Years ago - I challenged a flatmate - then a junior journalist for a local weekly paper - to try and get some proper filth past the subeditors - a challenge he took up with alacrity - and didn't ruin his career remarkably - I shan't name him - he went on to be an award winning journalist - our favourite - in a piece about an antique auction in a church hall - a notable item was - 'a beaver muff - with matching stole,' - next best - in a TV review - 'oiling the hippo,' - and low - a euphemism was born. Ha ha - I.
