RazorRock Syn. 22mm

Schick B1- repeating razor
Schick Proline Type B- [ 6 ]
Floid Vigoroso A/S Lotion

Shaved with a real oldie today - the Schick B1. I find that by taking my time and using a light touch these oldies do deliver a real good close shave. Today though I found the blade a bit harsh when working around the tip of my chin, possibly 6 outings for this blade in the B1 is enough. A most enjoyable and satisfying Shave with this unconventional looking Injector.

Another fine, comfortable shave today.
3 wide smiled audible passes giving a BBS finish.
The Vintage Creams are a joy to use although the scent is a bit diminished but still "clean" smelling, i also leave a coating of pears soap on the chin as i feel it adds a bit slickness to the shave which these vintage creams seem to lack, i sometimes add a couple of drops of glycerin to the lather for a similar effect.
Again i have shampooed the Vintage brush after use, they are not used regularly so this is done to keep any nasties at bay, i actually use medicated dog shampoo with tea tree oil. Keeps them tip top.
The Vintage Tabac Black balm has lost its scent a bit compared to the up to date version but still works well, then the Splash and EDC gives me that 70's hit.
A very happy shaver today, clean, smooth and refreshed.
A walk with the dogs on this cloudy morning then off to visit the mothership.
Have a great Sunday All.
 
Sunday SOTD

Soap - RazoRock Santal Royale
Brush - Zenith Synthetic
Razor - Rockwell 6C R3
Blade - Gillette Silver Blue (1)
Post - Proraso Red Pre/Post Shave
Scent - Aramis EdT



Unusually for me, two consecutive morning shaves - I mostly shave every other day, but I was in the mood for it this morning.
I don't see many SOTD's featuring RazoRock soaps these days? - a couple of years ago they were all the rage
Santal Royale performs well, and post shave feel is pretty good.
I opted for Proraso Pre/Post Shave (cream?) Instead of my usual alcohol aftershaves simply because it (kind of) matches the Santal scent of the soap.
A few sprays of Aramis and I'm ready to hit Boots, for a stocking filler gift for Mrs L. . . . .
