Game changer for the H&S No.75 after this mornings shave I am withdrawing from sale
The Wizamet brought the shave experience up to an acceptable level of efficiency and buttery smooth slightly better than Timeless 6T8 but not quite GC 84-P or Apollo aggressive plate but good enough to keep

It has been exactly one week since my last shave, I’ve been adjusting to our cooler weather (only got the heater out today) and since Wed have managed to catch some virus that made me feel like absolute sh*t (not COVID thankfully).

I’ve never had a weeks growth for a shave before, and it didn’t go as well as I had hoped. I did manage to eventually knock it all down, but could have done with a more aggressive razor at least on the first pass (I really do need to get myself an OC razor soon).

Soap/Cream: A&E - Khalifa
Razor: Muhle - Rocca R94
Blade: Gillette - Minora Stainless (13)
Post-shave: A&E - Khalifa AS splash / A&E skin food noushimg cream

2 pass WTG daily shave = DFS+. Just like the Gillette Stainless blades, The Minora Stainless blades excel in the Rocca.

And not so very much as rude either.........
I think the reddit rant had a point but he didn't need to be so crass. It does point out well how fickle the market is though, like trying to learn and describe the tastes of wine, we're not ever taught how to discern and describe scents which contributes to the lack of imagination and permission to explore that the ranter refers to.

Razor-1934 Gillette NEW SC
Brush-Yaqi evil zebra tuxedo
Soap-Blue Devil Sinnerman Orange 🍊
Blade-kai (4)
Aftershave-Vintage Shulton's old Spice

First use of Blue Devil soap that arrived this arvo
I must say that's the best first up use of a soap I've had. Short load time, quick to yoghurt hydrated lather, residual slickness and a fragrance not trying too hard with too many discernible scents. It smells like it says. I might take this down to Baker's Delight in the morning and say THIS is what I want my scroll to smell like.

@CraigE has done a fantastic job. Now to try the others... locally made makes it that much better

Awesome shave tonight to Led Zep drowning out the family 😁
