My Shave today consisted of...
Hot shower.
Prep Aleppo soap.
Brush Highlander LE2023 Badger.
Bowl Captains choice Obsidian Copper.
Soap Geo F Trumpers Violet.
Razors Leaf and Blackland Vector.
Blade Feather Pro Guard (3)
Aftershave Jimmy Choo edt.

Today's Shave was quite good but not quite on par with what I am used to.
Don't get me wrong it's clean just not bbs, I think it's down to the Pro Guard blade, I am not a fan of the feel of the little guards and I believe that's what is stopping the bbs feel.

The Gillette Raz=r had the same issue and the guards on the blade stopped it clearing parts of my head.
I will give it a few more shaves and will pop a Titan back in as I enjoyed that blade and will know if my theory for me anyway is correct.
The Trumpers cream performs it's excellent self, it's just a shame the scent is so mild it could be classed as unscented, I am more a punch me in the face kinda guy and that's why I enjoy Spanish Leather and Eucris so much. Needless to say I won't be replacing the tub once it's empty.
On a plus note I am really getting on with the Vector and love just how agile it can be with the smaller head.
I finish off with a quick head shave with the king of head shaving razors the Leaf, a few drops of Argan oil and my head is shining like a freshly polished mirror ooooo sexy.
Have a great evening everyone woohoo.
 
And as my final entry for this past week of SOTD's I give you my shave from this the final day of this past week with the theme, 'If I don't get this one in quickly my last shave from this past week will become my last shave and first entry for this new week of SOTD's '

Excellent shave tonight, close, smooth, comfortable and no issues at all. The Trumper cream is wonderful, I love the citrus smell and it lasts for ages. The Rapira blade was really good with my ‘not used since I got the Muhle’ barberpole Merkur. All told, the nicest shave I’ve had for a while.

So, you woke me up to tell me you’d had a nice shave?
Just thought you might be interested.
Really?
 
Sunday 31 March

Simpson badger, soft and smooth like a fine velvet
Rockwell T2, well made and with a solid presence but easy to find a comfortable setting. The setting dial isn’t a click type. After tightening the blade the gap can be set anywhere between 1-6.

Result, bbs in 1 main pass wtg, then some atg and pick ups. Now to enjoy a special day with the family,
