The same shave as yesterday, except for the change of brush. A far better second pass lather. I felt better, but, there was no real improvement in the quality of the shave. Interesting. The blade felt a bit tired today so time for a change.

Pre - Droyt's Classic Glycerose Soap
Brush - Semogue SOC TAJ Boar
Soap - Proraso Wood & Spice
Razor - Blackland Brassbird
Blade - Personna Med Prep
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Tonyschin's Floïd SE Infused Balm & Argan Oil
A/S - Floïd SE Mentolado Vigaroso

Although i love the scent of the Proraso Wood and Spice, like its stablemates it really is a "dirty" soap leaving a residue on everything it touches.
The Brassbird/Med Prep pairing always works really well for me.
Enjoy your day all.

An enjoyable shave with this vintage razor paired with an excellent blade...

Gillette Original Shaving Foam
Gillette Trac-II & Feather FII Neo
Blue Stratos Aftershave

Not great, actually ... puzzled. Few weepers and kinda rough rather than seethingly sharp in feel.

I may have inadvertently popped an old cartridge onto the head, but it certainly felt like a new cartridge when pressing it onto the razor. I've popped another one on and will assess again tomorrow.
 
Razor = Rockwell 6s ( R5)
Blade = Brazilian Wilko ( 3 )
Brush = 26mm High Mountain Badger By Sawdust Creation Studios.
Cream = Geo F Trumpers Eucris with matching
EDT & Balm

I missed my shave yesterday.
the shaves have been all first class recently but my skin just can’t take it everyday although that was my intention.
It’s the first time in a while iv used the Rockwell with plate 5 and i think iv found the sweet spot.
For the past year or so iv went with plate 4 and sometimes 3 due to traveling & forgetting to take 4 with me.
Anyway R5 was superb with the 3rd use wilko.
Shave of the month for me.
I know a lot of people have reservations for the 6s but for me it’s a true work horse & a razor i’m happy taking anywhere,
I know i can bang it around & it will still be in working order.
Anyway i’m starting to gab a bit.
Enjoy your week everyone
don’t work to hard

Greetings,

(Face & Head shave)

Early morning Shave,

First head shave using the Gillette foam, i made the lather slightly more wet for my head shave for extra slickness & glide however, the lather still had plenty of protection with a good post shave feel.

Another enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Baylis & Harding Amber & Sandalwood ASB.

My face is feeling cool smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
