Nice layout.

Terrific Old School set-up. (My kind of shave)

 

Entschuldigung, während ich meine Brillen hole, ich dachte daß du "Diese Seife ist fast zu kalt" geschrieben hast...

 

There's a Williams ice blue shave cream!?!
Is it anything like the aftershave? If it is i might have to try and get some.

The Cobra Classic always gives me a great shave with the Feather Pro blade. The scent of this soap is really interesting, the performance is also excellent. Great shave today. Hope yours is too.​

 

Marvelous set up Chris!

 

Thank you!

 

Decided to try the Gillette Fat Handle Gold Tech with a Lab Blue blade. The shave was mild and comfortable, yet a very smooth BBS shave. It was actually the mildest shave I ever got from a Lab Blue. The FS Badger Brush whipped up a good amount of lather from the Proraso Green Soap, while the Orange Menthol PSO kept it smooth. Cold Witch Hazel left my face feeling good and used Avon Wild Country for the finish. I won't be letting this razor just sit on the shelf any more and will have to use my other techs as well.

My YSL arrived from Italy today, so I had to make a change in my weekly set-up.
Oh Boy! Great shave and do I ever smell terrific.
Have a great day!​

 

I've been thinking about getting a Satin Tip brush. How do you compare it with other brushes.

 

It's a little more scrubby then the Plisson style synthetics and the knot is a little smaller but it still holds plenty of lather for 5+ passes. Decent backbone but the tips are still very soft! The handle has a rubbery texture that is easy to grip even when wet and soapy unlike the hard plastic handles. Overall this is my favorite brush.

 

Thursday morning:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra day 4
Gada Cool Mint S/C
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Fine Snake Bite A/S Splash
Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui E/D/T

Except for the Snake Bite, these products are just nice and chilly - not frigid!

 

The day went very well. Thanks for asking. I have a good group of students.

This is a reply on Reddit that Gareth of Rockwell answered about where the blades were made.... "Thanks for the question! Because I currently see the blades as a significant strategic advantage for Rockwell over (very very large and well-funded) brands we’re competing for shelf space with at large stores, and the fact there aren’t too many blade-making facilities in the world, I’m not too eager to give away much more in detail around the production for the time being. I hope you understand!" There is more discussion here, especially about how imported stuff has to say on the package where it was made...... https://www.reddit.com/r/Wet_Shavers/comments/4dadlk/ama_gareth_here_from_rockwell_razors_ama/
