Shave of the Day Thread - 2022

[Razor Burn]

Last few shaves

Super busy week but finished it off with one of the best shaves I've had using the newest addition to the den and it's still early days but I'm inclined to think I've finally found the missing link in my razor collection and between the Rocca/s, Vector and Blackbird I see my other razors retired as shaving doesn't get any better than when using those 3 razors!!!

Mid week I dugout the Maggard X3 slant clone and it delivered a fine shave so really glad I kept it as much better results than the milder 37C.

Stay Safe & Have a Wonderful Weekend!

Waiting for @TroyTools to capture this in resin.

Hmmm, thinking ahead:
Do I need a Simpson Desert brush? Especially from @therealsimpson...
 No
Do I want this brush?
Hell, yeah
Can I hide it from Mme G?
Hmmm, that's the hard part

Hmmm, orange and blue shouldn't be too hard.

Same set up as yesterday's shave finishing off the last bit of soap that I transferred to the Rover Bowl with another wonderful BSS, not that I really needed the shave as even regrowth that I only tend to experience after using the Rocca or Vector. Curious to see how much blade feel I get when using a sharper blade as the Rubie tends to tame the more assertive razors and so far the BB delivers perfect blade feel without blood letting!

Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!
