That's a very unusual coloured brush. It looks great

Thank you. Of the few AP ShaveCo. brushes I have, it's my favorite.

There is a lot to say for Japanese steel on Japanese hones.
And of course Derby soap.

Simple, just get rid of your other razors and fill up your den with Blackland models. They're all great.

Or an even better alternative which will cost you less, donate the BB to someone and you won't be able to reach for it anymore!

Blade: Astra
Soap: B&M Marilyn
Brush: YAQI Mars 30mm Boar
Post: B&M Marilyn Balm

First shave with Marilyn. It's a scent that's hard to describe. Kind of Smokey tobacco, leather and sandlewood but its quite nice.

I'm liking the Rocca but find the handle is quite thick to what I normally like. It's something I'll just have to get used too.

VB1, the first Auto-Strop to use the Valet name and, in my opinion, the last great Auto-Strop.

SOTD – Sun 19 Mar 2023

Shave Result: RazoRock soap produced a lovely rich creamy medium density lather. The Lather provided excellent primary and residual slickness. To me the scent is a bright citrus aroma up front with many supporting notes, this is a wonderful scent, scent strength 7/10 with light menthol cooling. Awesome smooth BBS with no irritations from the Leaf/Twig combo.

The Gear:​

• Pre Shave: Suavecito Brushless Shaving Cream
• Brush: RazoRock ButterScotch 400, 24/55 Black Plissoft knot
