Love that Charcoal Goods top cap finish. Thinking of getting a level 2 but they don't ship internationally. And also the current handles are a bit long for my liking.
 
Soap: D.R. Harris
Brush: Oumo 26mm SilverTip
Razor: Alpha Outlaw Copper (regular plate)
Blade: Super Iridium
Post: Barrister & Mann Bay Rum

A brilliant shave with the Alpha Outlaw. Very smooth and efficient, and a delight to use. I wish I had bought this razor ages ago. The service from Steve @Vlasta at Alpha Shaving was excellent too.

Tried out the short thick heavy handle today and provided a DFS but not as good as yesterday's UFO due to having to be more careful with the added weight
 
SOTD – Wed 4 Apr 2022
Aussie Wednesday with Blue Devil Shave Co – LAVENDER PATCH, Sensitive Skin Formula (mild scent strength). Blue Devil soap is Tallow based and uses only Essential Oils for scenting. Scent Profile: “Lavender, Bergamot and Orange”.

🎥Shave VIDEO🎥

Shave Result: For me Blue Devil is a Top Tier soap base for lather and performance. The half teaspoon scoop of soap quickly produced a rich and creamy lather even with my new Boar brush, not quite fully broken in yet. Scent was a pleasant Floral Lavender forward aroma with some citrus undertones, scent strength for this sensitive skin formula was 4/10. Set the Rockwell 6c on plate #4 for the entire shave, the RK blade felt sharp and smooth throughout, for me a nice blade in the 6c. Overall a excellent DFS, just the one minor nick.
