RazoRock Plissoft 24mm
OSP Bay Rum
Schick G1
Schick single [ 3-Japan ]
Alum Rub/Rinse off
Tuff Green A/S

Since using this razor with the modern Japanese Schick blade, I am enjoying the G1 a lot more. The shave of today was not only smooth and comfortable, bit I seemed to get angles right so that the finish was good too, without the need for many polishing up strokes. Will have to retry it with the "Chick " again , to determine where I went wrong with it before- abandoned after 2 Shaves!.

This afternoon's shave:
  1. Pre: Glyce soap wash / GFT West Indian Limes Skin Food
  2. Shave: Wickham's 1912 cashmere / The Duke 3 Best / Merkur 34CHD + Voskhod (1)
  3. Post: Coal Tar soap wash / cold rinse + alum / Cashmere splash / GFT Lime skin food balm
Excellent combo. Forgot how much I like the 34C. Great to have the regulator on the new 1912 bottle!

My first DE razor and a fine workhorse. For me, it works beautifully with a Feather in its cap (today's shave, q.v.). Also with a Personna Israeli Red.
Must try these Voskhod fellows sometime...
