Fantastic shave and the face feel after is great. I guess this is getting close to what the straight razor guys enjoy, with a little more safety

I'm very pleased for you @Sticky. It was quite something to handle a progression in shaving "machinery". Thanks for that opportunity.

Another Saturday lost to headache. A good shave is a good leg up back into the land of the living.

KarveD-OC w/GSB
Yaqi silvertip bulb knot
Pb soap
Thayers Lemon

Really lovely shave with pb soap! Great scent and a very rich lather.

I feel the heavier head of the Rockwell suits GSB/nacet better as the Karve head is not as heavy so I find it to be less efficient with these relatively less sharp blades.

Still sampling products traded with @tullfan
Saturday is usually a shave free day but I got this idea in my head to try the EJ handle with PAA Slant head and had to do it.
I was pleasantly surprised the end result was more enjoyable than either of the individual razors.
The Fine Superlite Slant itself is a good enough razor and perfect for travel but I found it too much hard work to keep in rotation because of its light weight and size it felt like I was buffing my whole face, no nice long strokes.

Pre-shave: Shower
Bowl: Limited Edition P&C 2019 Auction Grey Bowl by Avalon Pottery
Brush: Simpson The Duke 2 Pure Badger
Cream: Argo NEO Platinum
Razor: Fine Superlite Slant Head/EJ IPSR Handle
Blade: Personna Blue
Post-shave: Fine American Blend

Argo NEO Platinum is a nice menthol cream that lathered well
The Duke is still a bit funky (skunky), which I don't mind because so are most of the masculine base notes
The Personna Blue was able to redeem itself in a decent head

SV Sunday
Rockwell 6S@R6 w/GSB
Frank Shaving silvertip
SV Stella Alpina
Thayers Lemon​

Absolutely gorgeous shave with the SV and the plush silvertip.
It's a dense knot but set at a higher loft so not much backbone but feels so plush in how it envelopes the face!

I've noticed the Rockwell requires the least amount of swipes to get BBS, out of all the razors I've ever used...including the Karve!
