The cream was nice, although I'm still not sure I'm building a lather very well (my fault, not the cream's) but I'd definitely buy it again for value.
Not as sure I liked the balm or moisturiser but they were OK.

You'll have more control of the lather if you smear the cream on your stubble and face lather.. Start out with a damp, but not wet brush, dipping the brush tips when more water is needed.

Razor - Blackland ERA L3
Blade - Rapira Platinum LUX

Balm - Tonyschin's Cedarwood and Patchouli Argan Oil and Balm

Not the best lather for the second pass, so much so i revisited the puck for a reload.
Over all a very comfortable shave.
The Rapira blade has been banked even though it was still feeling good. 4 x 2 pass shaves is good enough for me.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all

InjecTR v1 3D - Schick Proline B #1 - Signature Soaps Novus Spice - Zenith 507 - Boots Freshwood AS - Aloe Vera Gel
I was recently gifted a number of 3D printed razors from Roger Quintero aka SlimGem. They are all his 3D designs and prints.
The InjecTR v1 is the first of my set of shaves where I can show them off.
The blade loading design is the same as this AC version. Of which I'll be shaving soon.
What a sweet shave that was. The Novus Spice worked exceptionally well today after lathering in my Giles scuttle. The scent was wonderful.

A super smooth shave this morning. The PAA brush and soap produced a deliciously scented rich lather with ease. The Razorock razor produced a close and comfortable shave with equal ease. Good stuff.PAA Perigrino

Razor: Occams Enoch
Blade: Feather Pro
Soap: Razorock Aqua in Dutch milk churn ceramic pot
Brush: reknot synthetic vintage bakerlite handle
Pre: ToBS Sandalwood oil
Haven’t used Enoch for a while but it never disappoints and after a quick dab with the pre shave oil and a creamy lather it gave me a BBS two pass finish wtg and atg plus minor clean up. What a brilliant razor, super comfortable to use, the feather blade 2nd use was effortless in clearing stubble without irritation, nicks or weeps, no other word for it brilliant!
Have a great day fellas!

Razor - Gillette New (Colgate set)

The Razorock WTP pucks seem to go under the radar, it produces a nice lather, maybe not up there with The Fat, but a nice one nonetheless. The little 10075 might be one of my favourite brushes. It's got quite a small knot 22mm wide, with a 48mm loft, but I think the comparatively short loft allows the knot to keep it's shape now after it has fully broken in. A few boar brushes I have with 23mm wide knots with 55mm lofts, once they fully break in they can be a be a little floppy and seem to lose their shape when they are being used.
Another nice shave with the Gillette 365 and Gillette New.
I hope you have a good start to the week gents.

No Photos for a little while. I am just playing around with 'Stuff' to decide what I want to take with me to Pembrokeshire at the end of the week. A shave for next week will be posted on Friday
Pre: Olive Oil Soap
Brush: Omega S10081
Soap: Nivea Sensitive Pro Liquid
Razor: Focus R28 Slim Al Shavette/London Bridge
Post: Rosehip Oil, Bond Classic AS
It always takes a couple of days with a shavette to regain the effectiveness. By the end of the week.....I should be properly up to speed!
3 passes for a very nice shave indeed!
Off now to find somewhere to hide for a month until the World cup finishes!
