    Always a wonderful shave with this set.
    The lather has to be the best, only surpassed by it’s future self.

    Lovely razor, Sean! I’ve always admired your Wilbert Regal. How’s it hold an edge?

    I had this a few day's ago on Sunday. Very, very underrated scent. It smells better than most anything I've smelled at the retail malls/shops that sell fragrances. And that Copper Ascension is quite a looker.

    No pictures, but a nice shave nonetheless :)

    Razor: Mühle Rocca R96
    Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (I discarded the Treet Platinum blade)
    Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T3 (almost as good as the CH2 for a fraction of the price!)
    Soap: TFS Linea Intenso Bergamotto Neroli
    Aftershave: HEGA Rakbalsam

    While the TFS Linea Intenso soap is very good, it does not create the same slick lather as Tabac Original does for me.
    So it's always a surprise when going from Tabac to another soap (few are as good as Tabac - YMMV).
    Interestingly, their limited edition soaps (70th anniversary) are on par with Tabac, in that regard.

    A shave without surprises; the Rocca and PPC are a proven combination for me. The HEGA Rakbalsam aftershave (drugstore splash from Sweden) left me with a faint citrus scent, which of course matches very well with the TFS soap fragrance. Not very long lasting, but that gives me the opportunity to choose another fragrance for the afternoon and evening.

    BTW; the Simpson Trafalgar is a winner! (as I have said before)

    I really enjoy the comfort and efficiency of the Above the Tie SB90. I have also discovered that I enjoy the lighter weight of an aluminum razor. I especially like the lighter weight in the co$t.

    SOTD WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 13, 2021

    The days are getting much shorter as we move towards winter. Shortly after purchasing my Rigarazor 7/8 about a year or so ago, I dropped It, and chipped the edge requiring a new bevel set. It wasn’t until after a touch up on the 9 Ball slate that I really began to enjoy the shave it delivers. The steel Sergej uses is quite hard and really holds a nice edge. Two mug passes with some additional buffing and some final flatblading to smooth those troublesome old man neck whiskers of mine, and I was delightfully smooth.

    The Castle Forbes Lime lather’s scent is so enjoyable. The Alpha Shaving’s T-400 26mm Tuxedo Synth ferrule was firm yet incredibly soft while spreading the nice thick yogurty lather all over my noggin. The Leresche 77 seems at times to be the almost perfect headshaver. While my Shake Sharps hold the supreme headshaving title, the 77 is a very close second. The 69 gram silver plated beauty is a masterpiece of safety razor design. Two ATG passes and I‘m ready to face the rigors of the day, porcelain smooth from dome to neck.

    RAZOR: Rigarazor 7/8 (Mug), Leresche 77 (Dome)
    BLADE: Feather DE
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
    BRUSH: Alpha Shaving T-400 Tribute with 26mm Tuxedo Synth Ferrule
    CREAM: Castle Forbes Lime
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Royall Lyme AS/Cologne.

    Great brush, Clint! Synth brushes are so much better than they used to be!
