    SOTD Focused February 20th
    [​IMG]

    Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
    RazoRock SS Hawk V1
    Feather Professional Super (2)
    Yaqi Ruby Red (24mm, Frigate Class)
    RazoRock XXX soap
    Country Club Sweet Water AS

    This morning I had a little more time so I opted for the full super goop load. Using only the tips of the brush I loaded and added water a few drops at a time until the brush knot was completely filled with lather. I then took the loaded brush to the dry dock lather bowl and added in a little more water until I had glossy, soft peaks. RazoRock soaps won't build a super dense lather like some of the better artisans out there but this was better then the stiff and airy or light and fluffy lather that I normally get with a RR soap. After a quick warm water wash with the Stirling Pre-Shave soap I applied the lather and went to work. Really focused on maintaining angle and pressure. This was the best shave yet with this razor. DFS+ after three passes with no irritation or blood. Finished with a generous splash of the CC Sweet Water AS and am smooth and smelling great! Have a great day my friends!

    Thanks Jeff! My Omega is 2yrs old now and I love it. You adapt to the cold but by March a guy is tired of winter.

    Bundled up here Andrew!

    Very nice shave Andrew!
