RazoRock Plague Doctor after shave
The brand choice was coincidental...
I hadn't used my aluminium Tech for some time; as I tend to reserve it for travels (maybe less so, presently). But there wasn't much to deal with, bristle-wise, after yesterday's Rockwell 6c outing.
However, with the excellent lather produced by the soap and the Tech with a Feather in its cap, a lovely smooth result ensued. I smell good too.

A nice shave with my #01 Kampfe Star "Lather Catcher" all the way from the USA, fitted with a Jayaruh handle and in a Jayaruh box.
An absolute joy to use.
Feeling and smelling good after today's shave.
Enjoy your day all
Fantastic shave today using the Isacco cologne for the first time.
Soap is top tier, easy to lather and giving great glide and protection with a fantastic scent and lovely post shave feel and this was just topped off perfectly with the cologne which has a slightly more complex scent than the soap and splash.
A couple of firsts today. The PdP No 63 is a very nice soap with a lovely spicy scent and it performs exceptionally well. The 1912 was bought as part of a 'job lot' ....just to get a couple of other razors. On closer inspection it would appear to be a Peerless (hexagonal aluminium handle). If it is......I think I got the razors for a steal!
3 passes for a perfect finish.....and I washed my hands before I felt my face!

A better Shave today with a relatively fresh blade. The 1914 seems to be a natural progression for those wishing to move on from using an ER1912. Always delivers a smooth and comfortable Shave, with little chance of having problems.

Lather just ok. Nice scent but slickness no enough.
Shave with razor and blade combo...somehow feels not sharp nor comfortable...can feel some bumpiness and struggling to cut. However there's no weepers nor irritation. Seems like the blade becomes smoother after each pass. 3+1pass ATG, XTG/ATG & ATG plus a pickup atg. Good enough result for a DFS. Rating 8.5/10
A great shave. My first use of the Rosa-Oud soap, and the lather was wonderful. The WR2 combined really well with the big UFO handle, and the Rose Petals aftershave was very soothing.
