SOTD – Sun-19May2024
Sort an Italian shave:
Shave Report: I do enjoy using RazoRock soaps, they are not top end but lather performance was reliable with no fuss nor fanfare and quite good value and it's Italian. From the lather I get a lovely fresh Eucalyptus, Tobacco & Menthol that's not overpowering, scent strength 5/10. Wonderful clean, smooth shave from the mild Mamba70, would be a great daily driver for me.
The Gear:
- Pre Shave: Proraso Pre-Barba Fresh (Green)
- Brush: Omega “Faux Jade” 11842 with Premium 27/52 Boar Knot
- Soap: RazoRock - Santa Maria del Fiore Sapone da Barba
- Bowl: Yaqi ABS Black “Duke”
- Razor: RazoRock SS Mamba70 with Dscosmetic Roman Column Ti Handle (67gm)
- Blade: Gillette Wilkinson Sword SS - India (3)
- Astringent: TN Dickinsons Witch Hazel with T.Tree oil & Menthol Crystals
- Balm: Nivea Men Sensitive Pro Facial Balm
- After Shave: Proraso Fresh (Green) AS Lotion
- Moisturiser (Later): Nivea Men - Anti-Irritation AS Lotion

Birthday Shave 
- Gillette Toggle (It usually stays in the case but, hey, yolo loll)
- Aussie Spoiler 1984 E-2
- Classic Edge Old Barbershop
- Vintage Aqua Velva Ice Blue (My last splash of this particular bottle)
Overall, a pleasant DFS+. Boy, am I glad that I snagged this small stash of Aussie Spoilers, years ago, they never fail to deliver.

Thanks that is the G plate slightly aggressive. The handle is borrowed from my brass Shield AC. I should have the Karve handle in very soon as it going through customs.
