The B plate was so smooth yesterday with this blade that I thought I’d step up a plate. Bit more blade feel, but still very smooth.

A dizzy shave

Preshave Preparation: Hot shower
Preshave: Proraso White Preshave
Brush: RazoRock 400 Plissoft knot
Bowl: Savanna Shave Scuttle
Soap: TOBS Jermyn Street
Razor: Rockwell 6S with plate 4
Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless shave 7
Postshave: Barbero Alum Block, Hyaluronic Acid, CeraVe AM moisturizer
The Shave: My blood pressure has been low the last few days, so I tried to keep this shave as generic as possible. I didn’t shave Saturday or Sunday, so The Fat was a little Dried out. So I rehydrated it and moved on to TOBS. Two passes with a little cleanup. A warm water rinse between passes and a cold water rinse after the last pass. Then the alum block, another cold rinse and the HA and moisturizer. I didn’t even spritz on any Kouros.
The Results: Nice clean BBS shave without any nicks, cuts or irritation.

Awesome soap!!! Super nice scent! I haven't had a Margarita before but wow, I almost wanna sip it! Hahaha! The lather is creamy and slick too. What a pleasure!!
Shave with long-ignored razor paired with the blade was amazing!! Regretted leaving this excellent razor in the cold. Extra smooth and comfortable...almost no blade feel but more efficient than other higher spec razors. I can feel the blade is so rigidly clamped. 3passes for a mostly BBS result with no nicks weepers nor irritation. Excellent aftershaves. Rating 10/10!!
