I really wish I could shave as briskly and against the grain as that... My skin is too sensitive/thin and there would simply be nothing left of me. :(

Also, your 6c is so shiny!
I need to clean mine up me-thinks.

@58RW Great review BTW. (y)

special shave this morning on 2 counts. today was my pops funeral after we lost him last week and i helped my 15 yo old son along for his first real shave now the bumfluff is turning into something more serious. the young bloke used the rockwell on 3 with declaration bandwagon soap and got through with no nicks or weepers. told him he could go through all my aftershaves and pick his favourite and it appears that @todras has another fan with grapefruit injunction being his immediate favourite and baycity also making the cut with everything else getting a hard no or meh at best.
my shave was straight forward 3 passes with the rockwell on 6 for a bbs finish. soap/splash/edp all velours noir that worked in the cold rainy weather perfectly.

Fantastic scent on the CF Zoologist Panda...would love to get the matching EDP somewhere down the line. Produced a great lather, which was more than emough for a 3-pass shave. Despite the dreary weather in Sydney, I hope that you all enjoy the start of a well deserved long weekend!!!

Pre: Pb Pre Shave Emulsion
Soap: Pb Mirrors & Smoke
Brush: Semogue 1305
Razor: Boker King Cutter
Post: Sudsy Soapery Shave Oil
Smokin'! Very nice shave this morning. Really happy how the base of this soap came up. Performed really nicely with the straight, it just had a very safe and familiar feel that gives the confidence for a straight razor shave. Was hard to evaluate the scent this morning as I was pretty much over smoke (from the White Birch eo) from yesterdays cook. I'll give it a few days and come back to it.
