That is a fantastic sotd picture - cheers - I.Wednesday 30th October
Alpha Outlaw - Williams mug soap - RazoRock ECO - ½ Shark Super Stainless - Alum - Electrif's Bay Rum - Aloe Vera Gel
On a generous loan from Brian @culcreuch.
I used a fresh ½ Shark blade as I've had good shaves with them in the past with the Rocnel. To be honest it was a fair shave, with 3 passes. Nothing really to shout about. In fact my face does feel rather tender post shave.
Hoping for better results next time.
Good point well made - an undeserved reputation for automatically drawing claret - the earlier version was even more unforgiving - granted - this will happen if you don't know what you are doing with it - or any other razor for that matter - and you don't have your technique sussed - step up to the plate - ever tried the Cobra Classic? A razor that does - in some ways - still scare me - get it right - it will give you the best shave of your life - get it wrong - and you may well hack your nose off accidentally. Ha ha ha. If you haven't used one and fancy trying it - pm me - and I can lend you mine - if you want to see what it is like. Very definitely a step up from the R41. Be afraid - very afraid. Yours - I.I reached for the R41 (2013). I have a lot of love for this razor and don't understand the fear that surrounds it.
Thanks muchly Iain, appreciated.That is a fantastic sotd picture - cheers - I.

Thank you Iain. I may take up your kind offer in the future. I'm still yet to lose my SE virginity and have an ER1912, Hawk V2, SS General, Supply V1 and Schick L to use first (yep, a bout of RAD earlier in the year!).Good point well made - an undeserved reputation for automatically drawing claret - the earlier version was even more unforgiving - granted - this will happen if you don't know what you are doing with it - or any other razor for that matter - and you don't have your technique sussed - step up to the plate - ever tried the Cobra Classic?
