That was the 1st razor I bought when I was I inducted into this shaving, wallet emptying malarkey. I think it's a rebranded Weishi 9306C. A very underestimated TTO.

wallet emptying malarkey..is the perfect description..It's a mild razor, but paired together with the Perma-Sharp super stainless it was pretty assertive, as you say a underestimated TTO razor..it's another wonderful addition to my growing DE razor collection. Regards.B

Prep ~ Valbora Gylcerlanoina soap, Shower
Razor ~ Cobra Classic
Blade ~ Schick Proline P-30
Soap ~ Cyril R Salter Solid Soap ( Tallow )
Brush ~ Jagger Custom Boar
Post ~ Taylor of Old Bond Street AF Aftershave
Scent ~ Penhalligon's - Varra EDP

My first use of this lovely brush today, it is a Jagger Custom made by @Steven_Jagger . The handle is turned Leadwood, a very heavy wood and the knot is a Proraso / Omega 27mm by 65mm, I had the knot set in the handle so the loft is now 53mm, I wanted a heavyweight handle so lead has also been added inside the handle bringing the total weight up to 150g. The colour of the wood has a wonderful, rich and warm tone and the grain is also wonderful but difficult to see in this photo.
In use it feels like my Omega 011829 only with more weight to the handle. Thank you Steven , you did exactly as I asked of you and you did it well.

The shave, it was fantastic ! :)

Enjoy your weekend people....P.

It's my first use of a Razorock soap and it's not bad stuff at all.
The scent is pleasant without being overpowering, the cushion and slickness are above average and the post shave is pretty good.
I've been away for a couple of days and took a Schick I1 fitted with a twin blade. A very good travel razor but it was great to shave with a weightier razor today.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Saturday

Valobra stick
RazoRock Disrupter 22mm
RazoRock Black Hawk V2
Feather Professional
Thayer's Cucumber and Aloe Vera
Speick after shave
Guerlain Vetiver EdT

A nice smooth shave from the Hawk. I find it not as assertive as, say, the Schick Injectors; given the relatively smaller blade gap. However I like the grip and manoeuvreability; especially the wide head. It tames a Feather Professional too!

Top notch performance from the Valobra too: another great, relatively inexpensive tallow number. Finished off with the Speick and a spritz of Guerlain Vetiver. Great stuff.

Hope the weather's ok where you all are.

My first PAA soap. Love the scent. This is for me a scent that reminds me of my grandpa, of all other older gentlemen of my childhood. It's similiar to Oleo Irving Park, Fine American blend...
