17, 18 & 19 May
The last 5 days of shaving with this Tosuke R2 kamisori have been an experience and eye-opener for me.

​

This kamisori and soap will now be put away. Tomorrow I start with a Yamamasa kamisori (also a loan from @LesC) and a different Razorock soap stick.

The Mach3 is not bad and gives a smooth close shave. I am in a hurry as I am attending my Grandson's HS graduation. A very exciting day for my family.

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.

Crikey, hadn't seen a Karve for a while.

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.
