DIY pre shave oil
Rockwell 6C@R6 w/Polsilver
Yaqi two band finest
B&M Latha lavanda
Gaia ASB

Rockwell has really proven itself to be a wonderful shaver! Both the 6S and 6C are excellent and my den would never be without them.

The head geometry is my favorite out of any razor I've ever used and now I'm really looking forward to the model T.

Pre-Shave: Kiss my Face Olive Oil Soap, cold water
Razor: Hoffritz Travel Slant
Blade: Ladas Super Stainless (1)
Brush: Doug Korn D7 Turquoise
Lather: Mike's Lemongrass & Eucalyptus
Post-Shave: Alum, Thayers Original Alcohol Free Witch Hazel, South Australian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil​

The Hoffritz travel slant is one of the smoothest, yet most effective razors I have ever encountered - I really hope, it will be cloned one day with a better material.

As this was the last shave at home for a a couple of weeks, I enjoyed this lovely badger and the fantastic Mikes lather it whipped up even more than usual.

I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday (y)

@SpeedyPC - I've tried a search and come up donuts...what are your thoughts on the VB Emperor?

I haven’t used mine yet, until my current blades in four different razors in rotation are finished before I start using the Emperor

Pre-shave: Hot shower

Razor: Gillette NEW head on TSW Bren handle
Blade: NOS Gillette 'Super Stainless' (4)

First shave since Monday - longest without a shave in quite some time. The Australians All was a no brainer today, a collaboration between two great Aussie Artisans, @todras and @SchoolForAnts, a celebration of mateship in a small market when then could be fierce rivals. No better example for ANZAC Day. Lest We Forget

A few questions and comments mate:
Good to see your soap and splash finally came!
Was your package cut when you received it?
Does the scent stand to attention for a prolonged period of time?
What is the splash performance like?
Would you wear this to work?

This is a label design that even when finished and all wrinkly, you’ll still enjoy it to look at!

Package was received intact....🤣🤣🤣
Scent does stand to attention indeed - very pineapple forward, floral, citrus....✂️✂️✂️
Any splash or juice in this case from The Club/A&E is good - good legs on it....
Definitely wear it to the office - I like brave/bold scents and I’m not fussed if it offends anyone and not that I have so far....My office has a door and anyone entering has the option of exiting just as quick....🤪🤪🤪

Pb Calendula/Chamomile MkII
Brush: Epsilon Horse
Razor: Fatip Piccolo
Blade: Gillette Spoiler (3)
This soap initially lathers into a plasticy emulsion then gradually transforms into a thick glossy cream. Not my favourite lather but still very nice on the face and leaves the face in good condition with no need for post shave treatment. Wish I could say the same for my little finger which I'm not sure what happened but think I caught it on the protruding blade tab and took a decent chunk of skin.

Travel SOTD
First time breaking away from the Karve since receiving it and based on this shave alone, prefer the Karve with a D plate.
The Rockwell was with R4 but for some reason, my shaves never feel as nice while travelling. I’d guess it’s the water causing it, the shower pressure was also abysmal!
