Shave and photo in the depths of a thunderstorm. Two passes and the Omega was good for both of them, producing plentiful lather with the PAA soap. What a difference a 12 hour pre soak has made. The bush is still losing the odd bristle but hopefully it is over its lather eating hump.
 
Sunday morning shave…

Felt a little more like myself this morning for the shave and enjoyed it. The Gillette 7 o clock Yellows with the blade icon and number on are I think my favourite blade even on shave 1 and I fancied some consistency. Managed to get some more of my shaving stuff including the Rockwell which is now without doubt on plate 3 the best razor I have. The Cella was great and I’ve started loading soaps much more heavily now which is paying off nicely. Alum rub down and the SouthSea Spray aftershave was a lovely finish. Still using the witch hazel with a longer gap in between shaves to look after my face and all appears well for now.

Been a very long week looking after my Dad who is rather poorly.

Have a lovely Sunday and enjoy the rest if you can.

Great shave set up Mark. I can relate to you looking after your Dad, myself & siblings done the same when he was here, and it wasn't easy ,very trying and demanding at times, but both of our parents done the same for us...Taking care of our family is vitally important, it's more important than an micro management boss or people who think work comes before family. Take care. Yours-Barry.

  • Razor : Oliworks M3teorite 3 piece 304 Stainless Steel (USA).
  • Blade : 7 O'clock Black Super Platinum (1).
  • Brush : Grizzle Bay Blurple Evo Fanchurian badger .
  • Soap : Proraso Azur Lime. (discontinued) barber shop dispenser.
  • Aftershave : Rasozero Rinfrescante splash.
  • Weight : 114 grams.
Hi all,
I have a lovely shave this afternoon with my new Oliworks M3teorite razor.
The first time I saw this on @Errol weekly razor reviews and recently the video by Dave in KY and also the one by Sig solo.
Thanks to you all.
It was the design of the handle that first caught my eye.
The design reminded me of rock crushes I’d seen underground years ago.
Oliworks workmanship and attention to detail is first class including the etching on the base plate and the unique top cap design.
My razor came with the two and three plates as I rightly guessed the 1 plate would be too mild.
I used the two plate for this shave with three days growth I think it matched up well with the 7 o’clock black blade .
But for me the three plate will be my preference as I favor efficient close shaving razors (some say more aggressive).

The Proraso Azur lime shaving cream works so well as always what a shame it appears to be discontinued.

Finished Off with a very pleasant and zesty
Rasozero Rinfrescante splash.

One pass WTG/ATG and a couple of touch ups.
No nick's no irritation no worries.

Cheers.

Thanks Barry. I’m absolutely shattered with all the hospital and doctor visits and tests and the emotional toll on body and mind as you know is very heavy.

Day by day… (y)
