Great photo! And you lucky so and so.Howdy gents,
So we made it safely back state side.
All the Sterling soaps had arrived here safely too and we're waiting for me.
So after a hard day swimming in the gulf of Mexico, lounging back in the sister in laws pool and now drinking ice cold larger on the deck, (sorry had to rub it in.)
Anyways, after such a hot day decided that obsidian was in order after a cold shower, OMG!!! Wow and many expletives I shouldn't use. Incredibly cold, incredibly slick, blooming awesome.
So that's the first sotd of this trip, hope the weather is good for you all too.

Very interesting Paul. Four shaves in with the 6C and I'm delighted with it's performance. The thing is, I have a 37c that I haven't used yet and I'm a little worried that it will disappoint after the Rockwell. But who knows, I may be pleasantly surprised.Wash / Nivea Men Active
Wilko coconut & vanilla body butter
Razorrock 400 Nor
Mitchells Wool Fat
Merkur 37c / Nacet (1)
Hot/cold rinse
Peppermint witch hazel mixture
Prorsso Green ASL
Al Rehab Al Fares
WTG & ATG on one days growth
variety being the spice of life, I used the 37c today having used the Rockwell 6C for my last four or five shaves.
I'm going to put it out there. . . The Rockwell shaves better and closer on plate 3 that the 37c performed tonight.
I needed to buff and touch up in areas where I haven't had to with the Rockwell, and the result still isn't as good.
on top of this, I found the 37c not to be as sooth as the Rockwell.
I knew I had been getting consistently good shaves from the Rockwell, but I wasn't expecting the contrast between these two razors.
There it is, I've said it. My 37c is now playing second fiddle. . . .
I could get used to these Al Rehab oils !
Wow, it looks like paradise mate, I see you have picked up the lingo fast enough ! They will love that in Cornwall! great picture, I'm not jealous one little bit...........ok yes I am. have yourselves a great time and try and teach some of the locals a bit of Cornish ,Proper job!Howdy gents,
