Bit of roofing installation on a portable building this morning - careless placement of ladder - fall - shower - shave - and now to do something a little safer like painting (the ladder isn't as high:)). I think I'm going to be sore tomorrow.

Portuguese actua-ry!
It’s a mild one with the Masamune plate. Feels like Rockwell R2 but shaves like the 4. Super smooth with virtually no blade feel.
With the masamune cap and Nodachi base plate it’s still smooth and the efficiency would be comparable to R5 but feels like R3 probably.

Head: Headblade Moto
Razor: Smart Helix Apollo H 0.50mm Mild Plate
Blade: Rockwell (1)
Pre: Shower
Soap: Squadron Soaps Empire

Light: Led Lenser T7M

I managed to do some quick repairs to the top cap post as I await my replacement parts and had to try the mild plate with a milder blade. Whilst not the smoothest shave the Rockwell blade shaved close with a few nicks due to my sloppy technique. The scent and performance of the soap is very pleasant with plenty of slickness for the head shave.
I'm still on the fence with the Silvertip knot as its too floppy like a wet boar but once you workout the hydration it holds and lathers nicely.
Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!
