Brush: - Semogue 2000 25/60mm
Cream/Soap: - Stirling Island Man
Razor: - Rockwell 6C - R4 base plate
Blade: - Astra Superior Platinum
Post: - Thayers Witch Hazel 'Lemon' / Bulldog Original Aftershave Balm

I've borrow my brother new Rockwell 6C the new chrome version and is lighter than the Rockwell 6s stainless steel version and the balance in my hand is almost perfect without any issue, I went straight to plate R4 using the Astra SP blade both combination shave perfectly well and pretty smooth throughout the whole shave without any nicks, cuts and irritation. I strongly prefer my Colonial General aluminum head which has a far better performance than the Rockwell, because Colonial General aluminum head gives me the most smoothest and closest shave similar to a Muhle R41 without any further irritation.

I"m going back to my General in my next shave sorry Rockwell.

Stirling's website describes the scent as:

An intoxicating blend of bergamot, lime, mandarin, coconut, jasmine, hibiscus, ylang-ylang, ginger, sugarcane, musk, and rum. The Island Man only makes his appearance during the summer season so get yours while it lasts! (Fragrance Oil)

What's your opinion of the scent, please? :)
 
The morning after the night before anniversary curry shave. . . . .



Simple shave today. I wanted to see how smooth the 37c is without any prep other than washing.
The result was a calm close shave without mishap.
The cheap New Zealand (suspected Chinese soap) performed very well, providing enough glide to make for a comfortable shave.
I think the 37c will prove to be my favourite razor. The only downside I can see with it is the stubby handle, because it's so short the head isn't visible at times.
Other than that, it's a great shaver.

Have a good weekend all
