I love the look of your razor, very nice indeed. P.View attachment 36387
...sticking with the same set-up for a while, well at least the Taj Mixi. I plan to use it for a month or so to open-up the knot. Still really, really enjoying the brush. The Olaf Rasmussen is also shining, it has been a while since I have used this razor regularly. Terrific low profile head, delivers a medium-aggressive shave, a tad more aggressive than a Weber PH but with more blade feel. Indeed the razor appears to amplify a blades characteristics, a bit like the Fatip OC does; a Rapira SS today did the job. A close, smooth, comfortable shave was had, and what a lather the Taj Mixi whips up...
Good luck tomorrow Tom. I think your boys might need it.

World Cup Shave! It's 3am here in Perth, and after some pretty average matches so far, I've squeezed in a shave prior to the Iberian Derby between Portugal and Spain. It's now halftime, and what a first 45!
Back to shaving. The Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli scent of the Declaration soap is superb, both off the puck and when lathering. And loads of glorious bison tallow lather.
The Paladin continues to break in nicely - it is a class act.
After the last shave with the Rockwell, I was a little more aggressive with my approach, and was rewarded with an improvement to DFS+ after three passes. I have the feeling that I'm not quite finding the angle at times.
I was looking for a match for the soap scent to finish. Some Portuguese and Spanish options came to mind, but to stay neutral, I chose a fragrance from a country who unbelievably did not qualify for the tournament. And what a beautiful fragrance - Acca Kappa 1869.
