Chinese Synth - OSP Sandalwood - General Aluminium - Schick Proline P #8 - Alum - Superdrug Forest Fresh A/S - Dove Nourishing Cream

My son recently acquired a 3d printer. The travel brush holder is the result of my search on Thingiverse. It's a perfect fit for the Chinese synth brush and both will be a useful addition to my travel kit.

​
Pleasing Monday two pass shave with the full Rockwell combination of razor and blade. I felt that the blade was not too impressive, smooth but not as sharp as most of my other blades. I still had an excellent shave from the Rockwell 6S, and I really do like the scent of the Steampunk soap.
 
Mon 3rd Dec

RazoRock Syn. 22mm
Cyril Salter Solid soap
ES Claymore V1 / EJ 89 Handle
Schick Proline [ 6 ]
Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion

With a change of handle the Razor became very head heavy. I found that the head when working the upper
face just sheared away the growth effortlessly only needing guidance. The whole Shave was smooth and comfortable, with a superb all round close finish.

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney Stubby 3XL Ivory Finest (30/52)
Crabtree & Evelyn Sweet Almond Oil shaving soap (tallow)
Weber Polished Head/Stork Advoco Titanium
Gillette Platinum 'Swede' (19)
RazoRock R-160 Sweet Almond aftershave balm

The soap makes great lather, but it has much less fragrance by now than its corresponding vintage shaving cream.

Meissner TremonIa Lavender Deluxe
YaqI 24mm Tuxedo Marble Handle
Ikon 102 / Ikon Special Edition Handle
Gillette Silver Blue (? and out)
Lavender witch hazel (home mix)
4711 Aftershave



I've no idea how many times this Silver Blue had been used - I don't always keep count.
It didn't feel as though it was past it's best, but I would rather lean on the side of caution than suffer irritation next time out.
Meissner Lavender Deluxe is a pleasure to use - thick and creamy and very good protection and post shave feel.
Finished with 4711 - smooth and fragrant once more

Blade Gillette Nacet (1)

A nice workday shave. Put in a Nacet, after using a Derby for the last few days. The Nacet gave a great BBS shave, a good way to start the week.
