What a fabulous #SOTD was had.
RazoRock Game Changer has never been anything else but awesome.
Razorine continues to be so much fun to use
RazoRock 400 Noir Plissoft is the best value IMHO.
Sicily smells great.
Soap Commander Integrity is one of the best.
I used a Personna Lab Blue on both razors.

Hello all
Found a blade in my GEM micromatic Clogpruff razo.
Blade- GEM Personna
Soap- Razorock Mudder Focker
Brush- Omega Badger
Finish- Nivia



Looking through my razors and finding blades in them, meaning there is only one shave on the blade. I get two shaves from a blade so going to finish the blades out.

The Gem Clogpruff shave is not as close as my MMOC, but still gives a nice shave.
I've never used it for the head before this morning and it was really nice.
I got a good 2 pass shave on the face and better than usual 1 pass head shave.
My Razorock M-F soap did a fine job as always and the finish was fine.

Seems I have a few more razors with blades in them to go through, so it should be easy to choose what one to use next.

Till the next shave...

Beautiful brush Mark.

I preferred chrome over normal or metal types. It gave that higher frequency extension without the phony sounding highs that metal gave.
These were my favorite cassette tapes for improved fidelity.

 

Life is crazy busy. Just getting to posting this morning’s SOTD. Having shaved with all my straights now, I can definitely say I prefer bigger, beefier razors with some heft to them. I thought an 8/8 Wade & Butcher might be overkill, but after this morning’s shave I’ve determined that it’s a winner. Awesome razor! Awesome shave!

Hybrid Razorock Game Changer .84 P on Charcoal Goods SS Maze V2 / Merkur Platinum / Semogue TSN 2018 SE Boar / LPL 2018 TSN Oud-Santal Soap

For the reviews stating this was a strong one out of the tin, mild compared to Ouds I like more, a more fall'ish twist and mild.

 

Razor - Le Coq lever
Blade - Astra Green x 2 (0)
Brush - Koa wood badger
Soap - Tabac
Post - Medicated Witch Hazel
A/S - Avon Bay Rum

Fantastic shave ! The razor with 2 blades shaves awesome. I’m so glad I figured out the shimming with this razor because without it the shave is rough . The brush is awesome soft and is a slight shedder. The aftershave is a sweeter scent than the pinaud bay rum but it’s still nice. Overall bbs shave!
