Prep: Shower, Palmolive Olive Oil Soap
Soap: Stirling Hipster
Brush: 24mm Mysteriosu Space Tuxedo
Razor: Rockwell Model T (2,3)
Blade: Voskhod (1)
Post: Cien Aqua ASL, Baxter balm
First run out with the generously loaned Rockwell, and as I'd hoped it's got some heft. Tried and tested setup of Stirling and Voskhod and a low starting number for a safe shave. I've not pushed it this morning, so the finish is good, but nowhere near what this razor feels capable of. I'm also wondering whether I may have finally found a razor that does not pair with the Voskhod - I'll increase the gap tomorrow and make a decision whether to try another blade after that. Dan @ATG has suggested Wilkinsons, and as I have white box, black box and some NOS British blades I'll probably give these a run. Out of interest, can anyone confirm the difference - if any - between the black and white boxed blades
