OCtober 15 and its the Razorock SLOC razor turn for this OC month. Of all my DE razors this is one of my favorites for travel and regular use. It is harder maybe to get a BBS shave for some but that is why I like this razor because it gives me a DFS minium result & in some of these countries were you don't want to many nicks and is easy on the skin. Excellent daily driver IMO.

Razor: Razorock SLOC - MFG 2018
Blade: Gillette 7 Oclock super platinum black (1)
Soap: Proraso Red Sandal wood
Brush: Razorock Noir 400
Pre shave: Brush wash my face with CeraVe hand soap + a Dab of clear aloe Vera gel on beard area.
Post shave: A splash of Witch hazel on face to clean soap off
Post shave: Proraso red sandal wood aftershave with witch hazel + Nivea balm
Results:9.5/10 or CCS,DFS,BBS =



Have some great shaves!

Tuesday OCtober 15

I used one of my favorite razors, a Leresche #54. I particularly like the long open combs on this razor and using this when I've got a week or more of beard growth. But today I'm using this after shaving the day before and the shave was smooooooth. I also started a new blade today, a Gillette Platinum (Swede).

Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
Soap - Caties Bubbles Barnegat Bay (I am from NJ)
Brush - Alpha Outlaw Fanchurian
Blade - Gillette Platinum (1)
Razor - Leresche #54 (France)
Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Clubman Reserve Whiskey Woods

Shave rating 5 of 5

I did a two pass shave today; pass 1 WTG and was DFS+, pass 2 XTG was easy BBS. This is a very good and smooth shaving razor and, as noted above, one of my favorites. The Barnegat Bay soap has a nice scent and lathered and lubricated well. I had no nicks or anything close to a weeper - the alum was very quiet. I'm not sure whether the Whiskey Woods compliments the scent of the Barnegat Bay soap or not but I don't really care, I really like the Whiskey Woods.

Overall, a great shave. Tomorrow I'm deviating from my OC focus this month for my birthday shave with my F4 Fatboy. Then I'll be back with a few more French and English razors that will be the razors for my next few shaves this week.

Happy OCtober and great shaves everyone.
