Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: M&F / Brad Sears Finest Badger
Soap: Mysric Water Pompelmo & Fiori
Razor: ATT SE1 / UFO Tornado
Blade: Schick Proline P-30 (4)
Post: Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel, CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave
Scent: L'artisan Parfumeur Fou d'Absinthe
I love the Mystic Water scents, and when I dial in the lather, it stands up to the best premium soaps in my den. I am never quite sure if I've got the lather right; it forms differently from any of my other soaps.
Tonight was spot on. Even the against the grain pass was effortless - a beautiful shave!
Pre: Warm Shower, Truefitt & Hill Oil....
Razor: Wolfman Guerrilla OC....
Blade: Gillette Rubie....
Brush: Tony Forsyth Custom Blue Emperor....
Soap: Declaration Grooming Pure Lavender....

Exactly the same shave as yesterday:
Pre: shower and glycerine soap face wash
Brush: Yaqi Timber Wolf synthetic
Soap: Uncle Jon's Tahitian Dream
Razor: Rockwell 6S (3)
Blade: Gillette Platinum (3)
Post: AP Reserve Florian splash
Okay - so not exactly the same:- different brush and i swapped from R2 to R3 this morning, but close enough is good enough. Same can be said for the shave itself, didn't go chasing the BBS and i'm more than happy with the end result. Sometimes, comfort reigns supreme over the BBS (or attempted BBS anyway).
After the shave, the soap got pummelled back into the centre of the container for what should be the final 3-5 shaves. Will i miss it when its done? Not really - the label of all things is fugly imho.

Simple shave, but good enough. I am fairly ambivalent towards this razor. Do I like having it my den? Yes. Would I miss it were it to go walkabout? Not really.

Now there's a brush that looks like a "rabid badger"!
GC84 w/Gillette black ninja
DS cosmetic tuxedo 26mm

The razor felt much better with this blade and the shave was excellent!
But I still don't feel a sense of safety & freedom as I do with the Rockwell and the karve.
I may just end up trading the GC for a karve. I may as well have a second karve as a dedicated travel razor.

Told you - you will want a Wolfman

I’ve had no luck in the BST’s - but you do have to be quick....

The blade on that straight is exquisite @Jamie....
Any notable performance characteristics for the razor or is it simply as good as it looks?
