31 Mar 2015 Soap - Tabac Brush - Turkish #6 Razor - Rockwell 6S (#5) Blade - Ladas (3) AS - Old Spice Another fantastic shave. It is too bad not everyone who received a Rockwell has a useable razor, for me it is by a wide margin not only my favorite razor, but the most efficient.

Tuesday's Shave Prep: Hot shower w/ Grandpa's Pine Tar Lather: L'occitane Cade Brush: Omega 13522 Razor: '46-'50 Gillette Heavy Gold Tech Blade: Personna Lab blue Post: Nivea Sensitive Balm Scent: Tommy Bahama Very Cool Good 2 pass shave. Not sure about the Lab Blues. I think more testing will be required.
Razor: Gillette New LC Bar Handle 1930s Brush: e-shave finest Badger Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue Boar Cream: Seifenglatt Shave Soap Barber Shop Blade: Feather (1) Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Neutrogena Post Shave Balm, 4711 cologne The first shave for me with the Gillette New LC was great, so I'm looking forward to another shave with it. Loaded a new Feather blade, and checked the alignment. Looks good and I'm liking the longer comb just by looking at it. The e-shave badger whipped up a thick warm lather in the OS Mug. Nice liquorice scent from the Seifenglatt. First pass was very close, and the razor sang a nice tune to let me know how it was going. Very nice two pass shave with some touchup on my trouble spot on my neck. Warm water rinse and pat dry. Some WH and after cleanup some Neutrogena balm. Finished up with some 4711, the first cologne, for a change of pace. Very nice razor, great feedback and I can get into some spots on my neck with only a little buffing. I like the large heavy handle, and it cleans up easier than my adjustables. I really like this razor, can't you see......
