I will just leave it on the counter now. Do you know of anything similar to Terrorade?

There's Terrorade and I thought Chel was a synthetic cooling agent that could be applied pre or post shave?

One of the razors in a $20 Lot and 1st time with this model Aristocrat. I have no idea which it is or what to call it. What a GREAT and SMOOTH shaver. Eric had me curious about these. Haven't seen him lately and hope he's well and house hunting ! The TDH is a Favorite of mine and was just perfect for today. Razor is a welcome addition to the den and actually for me it shaves better than my #22. Have a swell day Everyone !!

Good morning from merry Maryland!

This is my very first travel shave in many years.

Van der Hagen TTO razor
Rockwell DE Blade (?)
Barbury synthetic brush
Tabac Shave Stick
Old Spice P/G AS
Maggard's Alum Block
Whiskers: 34 hrs

The hotel has a small gym so I decided to go on the treadmill for 45 min to go 2 miles. Their continental breakfast was nothing to write home about, but this is not a 5 star luxury hotel.

Anyway on with the shave.
I have to state that this is a decent travel setup. The brush has decent backbone and it really makes a nice lather. Some of you don't like Tabac, but it gives a great, slick lather and I do like the scent. Lucky me! Lol! Two passes with buffing gave me an IBSS. If the blade was fresh, then I probably would have had at least a BBS - shave. Applied the alum and did get some slight feedback. Doused myself with the Old Spice and I am happy with the shave. Looking forward to this afternoon's wedding. I like that the reception and the wedding are at the same venue. Also, I like that the whole thing ends at 5pm so I can get back to the hotel and relax. Hey, maybe I can hit the treadmill again. Lol! Anyway, I will take some pictures and download some for you guys. Have a great day!

Razor: RR Rocnel Sailor 2021
Blade: Feather NHS (1)
Brush: Grizzly Bay Biblical/TnS gelled boar
Pre-shave: PAA Cube
Soap: A&E Asian Plum
PAA Galactic Witch Hazel
PAA Star Jelly
AS: A&E Asian Plum

Good morning!

2021 Rocnel Sailor. Work of art. Two piece razor. The topcap is removed by unscrewing the adjustment knob. The handle is just shy of three inches according to the specs. Three fingers and a pinkie supporting the razor from the bottom and the handle all but dissappears. It felt perfectly natural to me. The adjustment knob is marked • I II III IV V. It can be fine tuned anywhere between each setting and go a couple of turns beyond the max setting should the need arise.

I decided to try it out at the •, the lowest setting. I found the angle to be intuitive and even at the lowest setting there was some wiggle room. The angle didn't have to be spot on. Super smooth shave. I did my usual three passes. I do feel a bit of sandpaper under my chin which I attribute to user error. Just the lightest tickle from the alum on my neck. Excellent first shave.

Tomorrow I'll dial it up to I and continue up the ladder as I get to know the razor.

Have a great day!

Supply Co SE V2 ●●
Schick Proline
MrEE LE #004 with Maggard SHD
The Dead Sea
Shave Soap & Aftershave

I decided an outing with an SE razor was past due. The Supply Co SE was an easy call. @jluc Jim mentioned B&M Terrorade a few days back and I decided to follow his suggestion and put it out on the counter. Anything worth doing is worth over doing, so I used PAA CHEL preshave cooling agent. My face was very cold by the time I finished loading the brush. I then went with a full dropper of B&M Terrorade into the brush. Oh my the chill was fantastic. Using synthetic cooling agents did not add a menthol scent to the intoxicating aroma of "The Dead Sea". I absolutely love this scent. Three passes and touch ups ended an automatic drama free BBS shave. I squeezed out the remaining lather and rubbed in on my face allowing the freeze to continue while I policed up the area. After rinsing I decided to add 2 droppers of Terrorade to "The Dead Sea" splash. My face is still wonderfully cold. I even got an unsolicited positive comment from the wife. That is a complete win in my book. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.
