The Rockwell on the R5 plate produced a close and comfortable shave with the Personna blade on it’s third shave. Signature Soaps, as usual, fantastic lather with cold water.
 
Gratitude and thanks to you all for your kind wishes.
Our daughters 3 year old boy has now got it too.
I only tested positive yesterday - the red line appeared the moment the reagent moistened the test paper.
So far I only have a sore throat - fingers crossed I don't get full blown symptoms so that I can look after my wife.

Thanks again chaps.
 
So much Gothic Revival going on here it's like Shaun of the Dead at a Fields of the Nephilim concert.

Face wash with hot towel and La Toja Magno (amusingly also a black soap bar!)
Gillette Slim on #3.
GSB on 4th and final run.
Wickham Gothic Revival soap.
Semogue 820 boar.
GR splash and balm.
An enjoyable shave and excellent result with my favourite set.

It really is a pretty scent, Tom.
Performance is always good, and being triple milled it seems to last forever.
I'm lucky to have the matching balm too.
