Floral Sunday

On Sundays I usually go with a floral scent. Today was an excellent mix of MDC Lavender, TOBS lavender, and TOBS Rose. Why TOBS Lavender with the MDC Lavender? The MDC Lavender smells "woody" to me while the TOBS smells sweeter. The combination is excellent and the rose just adds another level of pleasantness. 4 passes this morning and superior feel.

Soap - L'Occitane Cade
Brush- L'Occitane Plisson Synthetic
Razor - Rockwell 6S (#3 plate)
Blade - Personna 74* (11)
AS - Pinaud Clubman Musk
After delay's/manufacturing issues etc, I finally have parts for the Rockwell 6S. The razor has very loud audible feedback. Paired with the Personna 74* provided a nice shave. Almost DFS. As loud as it is I was a little shy with it, however the alum block provide ZERO feedback, which pleased and surprised me. I will be tying different plates (there are 6 gap size configurations) but this is going to be my razor for April Focus.

On to the vintage Tech and the Treet Silver. This blade is silverish, but with a blue shade that shows it is a carbon blade. Nice shave, felt very much like a carbon with good feedback, three passes to the DFS, and enough Alum feedback to make you love life! We'll see how many days it can go.
