Stock colour Paul. I had the standard SS and have to admit as good as it is in terms of shaving performance the Rockwell lacks in looks. In red I find it looks less 'industrial'.

It looks great in red!

Mike’s Natural Soap ‘orange,cedar wood,black pepper...

I had a tin of that years ago and it was a great soap. He is a survivor, one of the first artisan soap makers and still goin' strong!!

My first try of A&E Cashmere Velvet Shaving Butter kindly PIF by @Holyzeus and I have to say it’s another winner from A&E for me. Great latherer and an amazing scent this goes in high on my soap favourite list. I liked it so much I’ve had to track down the matching balm which arrives next week!

Bit of a late one for me today iv been a busy boy & a great shave to boot.
i was gifted this cream by @LESLIE ASARE and i thoroughly enjoyed it Thank You Les.
i believe this one is now discontinued which is a shame as it’s a great performer.
I used about an Almond size and that was to much.
The scent i know is a hit or miss for some people but iv always like it & paired with the balm it’s was a really refreshing shave.
And most importantly another 3 points for the Hibees

Tabactober is starting to wane now, not with regards to the soap which I love but the splash. I’m not usually a splash user, preferring balms which suit my skin better, especially during the cooler months. I’m finding the overly powdery splash a bit nauseating now.

Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

It's been a while since i last the inexpensive Wilkinson Sword Classic which is always a pleasure to shave with.

The two-piece design of the razor makes it easy to load the blade, covering the full blade with no exposure of the blade edges, which is a brilliant safety feature especially for shaving sensitive areas without the risk of getting Cuts & nicks from the blade ends which was a great bonus for me when i first introduced myself to the wonderful world of traditional wet shaving.

The Blade gap is considerably smaller than the newer sibling the WS premium TTO model, but it still gives an acceptable presentable shave. Paired together with the Gillette London Bridge made a smooth efficient duo.

Finishing the shave off a with a few small dollops of L'0REAL Soothing Birch Sap PSB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Good soap for its scent and lather qualities. Nice matching splash. A good brush with stiffer bristles...
A very good blade paired with the vintage razor provided 3 excellent passes for a bbs finish...

I have been shaving exclusively for about a month now with SE blades and my DE razors were in need of a run out.

Having said that, I have now been converted to the dark side and what I used to consider an excellent shave is now just acceptable. I have been spoilt. The picture shows the Hawk v3 in the background wisely nodding in agreement and saying "I told you so fool, I own you now".

A lovely refreshing shave this one. The Hollister Wave isn't my usual autumnal warm style, but it complements the SV Dolomiti really well and I'm feeling great now!
