My Retirement Day, :giggle:
so it would have been my last working day shave, if i had not been off with Covid, still testing positive this morning?
Anyway:-

Pre - Shower
Brush - Simpson Chubby 2
Soap - Stirling Soap co. Sandalwood
Razor - Blackland ERA #3
Blade - Gillette Perma - sharp
Post - Cold water Rinse, TC's infused Witch Hazel
Balm - Proraso Red
A/S - Proraso Red
View attachment 86265
That was a great shave, which is easily as close as the SS Karve C from yesterday, do i just need a bit more time with the #3 plate to dial it in? If i can get this level of finish consistently i will be a very happy shaver.
Really smooth 3 passes leaving me very comfortable and BBS without issue, cannot ask for much more than that.

Razor = Rockwell 6s

637A4E99-9A06-4931-88EF-C61DF180F137.jpegMan what an absolute top drawer shave.
Every blade i put in the 6s is extremely good.
The Soap for me was a first and a totally wonderful experience.
I genuinely don’t think iv enjoyed a scent so much.
The actual performance, scent, residual slickness is class.
i don’t think you could improve this soap in any shape or form. For me it’s at the top of its game & one i’ll never be without.
Also i have to mention the kindness from @BrianH for giving me a free soap in the goats base to try.
Thank You Brian
honestly it’s much appreciated.
