Great shave with no irritation. I have probably another 2 or 3 shaves left of this soap. If they release it again this year, I probably will pick it up and save it for next summer.

WOW - that looks VERY nice. How is the knot?
 
Pre - Shower
Brush - PAA Atomic Rocket
Soap - PAA Dapper Doc's Lilac & Fig
Razor - Karve CB SB/B
Blade - Gillette Platinum (2)
Post - Stirling Bergamot Lavender splash

Nice shave with the Karve B plate resulted in a DFS with no irritation anywhere.
The soap is nice to use and the scent remains for some time post shave which is a welcome trait.

I wanted to compare my other "aggressive" razor to the Brassbird open comb. To me this is slightly less aggressive with a bit less blade feel than the Blackland. The problem arises when I shave my neck, I end with some irritation with both of the razors. I think that they are suited to when I have a few days growth, not as daily drivers.​
 
It's heating up in Melbourne so it was time for a cool shave.

Pre: Glycerine soap
Bowl: Rover
Brush: Stirling Black Stripe 24mm Synthetic
Soap: Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill
Razor: British Gillette Aristocrat Junior #53 set
Blade: Treet Platinum (1)
Post: Thayer's cucumber
Balm: Stirling Unscented
EDT: B & M Seville

Yeah its a great head shaver and ideal for those quick shaves when in a hurry. Going to try the usual blades to see which works as the Rockwell isn't the smoothest but still gets the job done (y)
