Greetings All,

Friday shave.

One days' growth and warm shave

Preparation – face washed with Clique Liquid facial soap (mild)

Pre: Prorosa white pre-share
Soap: Tabac soap
Razor: Merkur 34c
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge (3rd use)
Brush: Proraso silver boar hair brush

Post Shave: Cold water rinse, Alum, then re-rinse followed by Proraso aftershave lotion (green) and Proraso post shave cream (white)

OK – shave from hell – no crimson to speak of, but jeez. . . talk about rough. Does anyone find Tabac soap dries out quickly? Is this me again not using enough water to create my lather? Also, the Gillette 7 o'clock Sharp Edge seems done after 2 shaves – horrid. Give my face the weekend to recover.

Brush: Omega 11126
Razor: Gillette Rocket HD
Blade: Voskhod (3)
Soap: Cella
Post: Boots Tea Tree WH & Floid Mentolado Vigoroso

My last day of Cella, Cella and an Omega boar is a match made in heaven, I have been very impressed with it this week. Have not failed to get a great lather and shave. Made a good dent in the tub too, a few days spend on a soap is a good way to appreciate what you have and understand the nuances of the soap. Three good shaves with the Rocket, a lovely razor to use. ​

I too find the Gillette Sharp Edge blades awful to use, they were my first blade I used also in a 34C. Glad there are many other brands to try (and get on with). If I only based my experience on these blades I'd be using cartridges
