Tomorrow I will start on some of my two-day sets and try for the first time some Razorock soaps. I have gold, green, black and blue label sticks. This will be my first experience with Razorock soaps.

It gives an unusual kind of lather, it doesn't develop that gloss I get from other soaps, but it still seems slick enough. Some lavender EO soaps can be a bit strident, but this just smells like the flowers, and the scent just keeps coming throughout the shave.

I hope your hospital stay was for nothing life-threatening? All the best for your recovery :)

Hey thanks @Gargravarr . Yeah, just some maintenance. Been putting up with a hernia for a couple of years so time to get proactive before it made the decision for me. :)

What fun, I've had a couple of those back in the days before all that keyhole surgery became universal. I remember the orderly who came round to measure me up for my coffin prior to surgery telling me "you know this is going to hurt like fuck, don't you?" :LOL:
 
29 April
Titan ACRM-2 T.H.60 finished and maintained on diamond pasted balsa and dressed in African black wood timber scales. For this and the next shave, I am using a Razorock gold label stick.

This soap surprised me at how good it was. It requires a lot more water compared to most of my other soaps to get it to the consistency that I desire. However, it lathers up well and quickly and the slickness is the best that I have experience!
 
Been a while so..:
Blade: feather
Soap: MWF tallow
Brush: Troytools Osage (beautiful brush, now my favourite BTW)
Post: Witchhazle and a NATIO facial moisturiser.
Razor: super speed

hard to go wrong with this very mild and efficient setup

Yeah, that's what I meant. Recovery from keyhole is not insignificant but very thankful I had that option. I only had to resort to opioid based pain killers once post op. :)
