I like this shave. These are both great products IMO. Love the Cyril L Salter sandalwood soap and the Fine Santal Absolute.

This is my favourite adjustable DE and can't understand why you would keep it stashed away.
If you want to move it on PM me, I haven't got an aluminium model.

That is one 'boss' looking razor. Looks like something some billionaire upscale store would sell to someone who has marble shower walls and crystal faucet knobs and a Bentley in the driveway. Wow.

The Motherland called and her True Son rose to the embrace. Da comrades, is true. The Paketa was my first Russian and she provided another lovely shave this evening.

Happy shaving - Karl

That's a razor I wouldn't mind testing out someday.

Thanks. Sorry for the late responses. Only just now had a chance to really go back and catch up on what was posted the last few days.

thank you. 2 of my favorite sandalwood scents

Thanks Andrew and Tim

Well Tim, that is what I imagine I see in the bathroom mirror each morning while standing on linoleum floor, Formica cabinets but I do have faux crystal faucet knobs in the shower and sink and drive a real mans vehicle 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 Laramie edition Cummins turbo diesel extended cab and bed all chromed out.

Prep: Hot shower with conditioner to my face.
Brush: Semouge 2012 LE SE
Cream: Queen Charlotte Cayman
Razor: Merkur 1904/1906
Blade: Astray SP
Post: Pinaud VIBR
Lotion: Gillette aftershave gel


Trying to finish off the Cayman as I only have about 4 shaves left in the tub. But I'm going to miss it when its gone. But the good news is that it will be getting replaced with Sudsy Soapery lavender mint. Haven't tried anything from AS but everything I've heard has been very positive.

Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: Vie-Long 13052 Horse
Soap: Haslinger Schafmilch
Razor: Cobra
Blade: Feather Pro
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Pitralon AS

After the super close shaves I've been having from @twhite's Igor, the Cobra had to reaffirm it's supremacy in the bathroom.
Loaded with a new blade and with the slickness of the Schafmilch as it's medium, the Cobra was in it's element.
Supremacy re-established...
....or is it?
Happy Shaving one and all.

Superb Shave
River Rouge provided optimal lather and a great scent. I paired it with Unconditional Surrender and it worked pretty well. I love both scents. The Rockwell loaded with an Astra SP left me with a close comfortable shave.

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Rockwell 6s R6
Blade: Astra SP
Brush: Brothers Bristles Silver Surfer
Lather: Talbot River Rouge
Aftershave: Chatillon Lux Unconditional Surrender Splash

Good morning friends. A fine three pass shave today with the PAL Adjustable. What do they put in Proraso that keeps me coming back to it? Wow, that stuff is good! I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺
