All-blades focus for April
The plan is to mostly stick to closed DE razors for this month and try out all the different blades I have in stock. I plan to use each blade for one day only and see if I can spot the difference
2 Days growth
Hot Water Prep and Preshave = Palmolive shave cream
Cream/Soap = TOBS Oud
Brush = Razorock Plissoft black handle
Bowl = white plastic
Razor = Muhle Rocca 96
Blade = Gillette 7 o’clock black (1 and done). Super Platinum Premium Salon box: made and packaged in India
Passes = 2 +
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayer’s rose petal, PR barbe dure
ASL = PR Barbe Dure with Oud
Scent = Arabian sunset Oud
Love the Oud. My wife is not too fond of it though: I might have to tone this down a bit Lol!
The Rocca has a nice wide gap allowing for easy rinsing
Initial lather was a bit thicker than normal however...
On the second pass I made this a lot thinner, and since the channels were not clogging up as much, the blade really started to sing
No blood but very hot alum on the right side of the face, which is where I usually start my shaves. Either too much pressure to start with or the blade is not as smooth as they say
Have a great 1st of April everyone
