One and a half very easy and careful passes on this Rockwell blade in the WCS Mariner razor. My neck is still recovering from the abuse inflicted by an overly enthusiastic me, a fresh and very sharp Derby blade, loaded into that aggressive Rockwell razor the other day. The line between incredibly close shave and a bloody mess is a narrow one.

I have to say the B&M First Snow is very good. Excellent pine/juniper scent, and slick rich lather. Following that with the crisp apple scent of the Summer Break Teacher's Pet splash is just an awesome way to start the day.

 

Pre: Cold water face wash,
Brush: The Wee Scot
Soap: Haslinger Schafmilch
Razor: Gem HFT
Blade: Treet Super CS
Post: Cold water rinse, Brian's Bay Rum ASL (sample)

Not my favourite razor from this stable but with a fresh carbon blade it gives a very good shave indeed.

 

L'Essor handle threading is same as Fatip, so swapping SABI top cap here allows use of the weightier Blackbird handle and also tames aggression somewhat without noticeable sacrifice in efficiency. Beautiful two pass + BBS. Supermax BDT (3).

Tonight's shave was with a newly acquired, restored, and honed razor. I had an adequate shave, a 2 pass shave, that left me with decent results. Definitely not what what I am use to. I'm afraid this PITA razor is going back, to the stones, for a 3rd time.

Razor- Franklin P.C.Co.. Germany
Brush- Stirling Boar
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood
Aftershave- Florida Water.

Thank you Mark.

Persona lab (3)
Gillette Cool Wave Aftershave
Stirling For Him balm
Another excellent evening shave, perfect way to retire in after a busy week. I used the Owner's club, it did fine. Although the errant fibers are a bit annoying, I just think of Woodstock (y'all know the ruffled little bird with snoopy). Stirling for Him smells very nice, rich and perfumey with what I think is exotic orangy. Tonight I used the Cadet, it performed nicely, loud and aggressive. I felt the edge slicing the stubble away. A little burn from Cool Wave, then a soothing balm. Smellin' enough to get a, you smell nice from the wife (always a good sign).
Hope y'all did as well, or better.
