Today's Shave

Finally Settled in my New House and all my Shave Kit is unpacked. The Schick Krona has done a splendid job for the last week but nice to have something different.

Preshave: Heno de Pravia
Soap: Martin De Candre - Original
Razor: Muhle Rocca
Brush: Mervyn Cadman 30mm Synthetic
Blade: Lab Blue
Splash: Star Noir
Balm: Barts Grapefruit and Pink Pepper
EDT: Copycat VK

About 3 months ago I picked up a Rocca in a trade and it is a nice razor, but it had a distinct smile in the blade, which for me made it a little rough, hats of to Muhle I contacted them and despite the fact I am not the original owner they offered straight away to send me a replacement razor head, only trouble was they were out of stock. Anyway it finally arrived and they even shipped it to Ireland for me. (Ikon and Razorock could learn a lot from them about standing behind your product). The new head is a better design than the original and I really enjoyed the razor today, looking forward to getting to know it this week more.

The other debut for me today was the lovely Cadman Brush that I bought on the here , what a wonderful brush ! thank you @kamisori

25/9/19

Brush - Omega 11819
Soap - Palmolive Stick
Razor - Yaqi Old Type Clone
Blade - Perma Sharp SS
Post - Witch Hazel
Blood stopper - Alum Block/Alum Matchstick/Plaster
AS - Benjamins Bay Rum Mentholated

From the list of blood stoppers it's clear to see in today's shave during the second pass I picked up a cut, a small one above the lip and at first the alum block failed, then the alum matchstick was equally unsuccessful so I had to get one of the big boys out - a fabric plaster!

Even though I've been using a DE razor for a few years now, I still occasionally encounter an experience that reminds I should be paying more attention than I should be!
