RazoRock R-160 Sweet Almond aftershave balm

The slightly old Rooney made wonderful lather with the cream. The new Carbon razor is even smoother than the Adamas, almost rivaling the smoothness of my Paradigm 17-4. And the shave was finished with the great discontinued balm, leaving my face BBS.

* Visited the parts box and assembled what I think might be a tech but who cares. A bit light and a flimsy handle but worked ok with the Gillette blade.

** Londinium appeared today so pressed it into action. Performed well but the jury is still deliberating between it and Danum.

Brush: C&H 'Finned' V14
Soap: MSC Black Tie
Razor: Koraat Ebony 6/8
Post: MSC Black Tie AS

Cracking shave this morning, found I had a little time so pulled out a straight. One of my favourites with the weight behind it, think it could do with a slight touch up but still got the job done.

Still loving the black tie, may have to get the inlaws to bring over a few more when they visit in a couple of months!

Smooth and ready for the day ahead, hope everyone has a cracking day!

Cheers

Marc

Just excellent, the CC soaps! This soap produces a superbly rich, creamy, and very slick lather so easily...with a light scent...
Today's pairing with the razor & the surprisingly lasting blade gives a surprisingly smooth, crisp, and enjoyable shave. Efficiency dropped some. 3passes for a dfs++ finish without any issues. The aftershave was just terrific!
