SOTD : Saturday 2nd April - Friday 8th April 2022.

Razor = Rockwell 6s. ( 3 )
Blade = WLDOHO ?
Brush = 26mm Boar Stoat from Turn n Shave
Cream = The Body Shop Maca Root
with matching balm/gel
EDT = The Body Shop Activist

Well where do i start i guess the cream
A first for me,
i have been meaning to try this for a couple of years but my local body shop closed down & for one reason or another i couldn’t be bothered getting it online.
Coming through the Airport yesterday i seen it & gave it a go.
I was fairly impressed with it,
The performance was good the scent was good so overall yeah i’m glad i got it,
The balm is a gel type again i like it it’s fairly decent stuff as is the EDT can’t fault any.
The Blade on the other hand is a whole new ball game.
First Pass done it actually feels like it’s taking absolutely nothing off,
Second & Third pass exactly the same.
Now the blade was smooth, first pass i lm thinking this is the best blade iv ever tried.
off course it is it’s cut absolutely nothing
not a hair.
honestly i couldn’t believe it
iv came away after a shave with more hair than i started with lol.
Now iv had bad blades before but normally they are blunt & tuggy but this one smooth as a cucumber but cut nowt.
It got me thinking perhaps i had the razor on plate 1 instead of 3 but still it would still cut but no not this bad boy.
So here’s to tomorrow’s shave & the blades are going right where they belong

Back to China

Stay Safe Boys

Soap: NO Plunder
Razor: Blackland Blackbird

Post: NO Plunder

Good shave this morning, absolutely love this Plunder, but then again I'm a fan of NO, but I really like the scent, genuinely smells like smoke to me.

Hope everyone has a grand day!
