    Nothing fancy today just good all around. Proraso Red SC with the Blackstone Sandalwood balm make quite the combo. As I prefer balms in the winter I don’t mind not having the Proraso AS splash to match. This balm is quite good if you ever get the chance to pick one up and isn’t too potent a sandalwood.

    Razor today the venerable Gillette Aristocrat (Jr) from a No. 58 set. This particular one marked with the “II” on the underside of the tray. It shaves just that bit better than the Rocket HD 500 but both are quite good. Loaded up with the Personna Platinum used in the Rocket.

    Lovely two pass shave and smooth as can be. The A’crat and Rocket HD weigh about the same and both shave very well just the 58 edges out the Rocket in the looks category!

    Happy shaves all!
