  10. Always a learning curve when introducing a new soap into the rotation. Very nice shave none the less. Yes, those blade are sharp, no more knock offs. You can pick them up at https://connaughtshaving.com/

    24 hours, comfortable pre-work shave.

    Gillette Rocket with Gillette Platinum (day 2)

    Usual prep, Stirling Orange Chill, bowl, Omega 49 and Usual Post shave procedure.

    3 passes with touch ups were needed as is usual for me

    Results: Slight weeper @ cleft between lower lip and chin. Resolved on its own. Alum was mild.

    Another Great Gillette shave
    I could get rid of all my other razors and just stick with Gillette

    Looking closely at the heads of the Rocket, the Rocket HD and the Flare tip, they are exactly the same, which explains why they all shave the same.
    Just the handles are different.

    Looking forward to some great weekend shaves and posts.
  12. Thanks Joe.

  13. thanks Joe, as few Zombie shaves as possible, sometimes it takes longer to wake up than normal!
    Well the 2nd part was the good part, thanks to Gillette, still some ways to go with the SE. Later perhaps.

  17. Another great shave with the Agadir(prep in shower and A.S. at sink). I'm delighted that AgadirMen has added to its arsenal, the way Stoylin and many other artisans have over the years. The only thing wrong with my shave today was that at one point the razor hit a rough spot, as if to say to me "Watch out, buddeh!". I did just that, and thus avoided a cut, Knick, or Polka-dot. No other problems. 2 passes. I am now seeing some "blacktop" in the Razorock Tuscan Oud soap(bottom of the puck). The AgadirMen A.S. was great, as usual. So was the Mutamayez cologne(House of Swiss Arabian). I am clean, refreshed, and ready for Friday. As Outstanding As It Gets.

    Excellent Fat Friday shave. Three drama free passes. The Silver Blues are very nice...I think I need to buy a 100.

    Happy Friday everyone.
