Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.

I haven’t seen that soap in ages. I thought it must have been discontinued. I was always curious about it. I like lavender and it has such a distinctive presentation.

It continues to be produced.

The problem is that it is only commercialized in the local market, in Uruguay, for this reason the difficulty of acquisition and to see it being widely used.

Today's shave (7/18):
Razor - Above the Tie Atlas, R1 medium solid bar plate
Blade - Shark Super Chrome (2)
Bowl - Captain's Choice, Magma
Brush - PC Woodcraft maple burl handle, 24mm "Super Silvertip" knot
Soap - Mike's Natural, Coconut
Aftershave - OneBlade aftershave balm

This was my second use with this razor, and I have to say, the ATT is such a fun razor to use. You can just cruise with this thing. It's so intuitive and so easy to hold and control. I'm really digging it.

This brush is new, and right now I'm a little ambivalent towards it. The handle is one of the most stunning wood handles I've ever seen, and the knot is a very nice silvertip. It was described as being 24mm but it seems more like 26mm to me. It reminds me very much of the knot in my WCS two-tone silvertip in knot size, bloom, and loft, and it hogs lather the same way. And like the WCS brush, my first couple uses have produced suboptimal results when bowl lathering. The lather has not been terribly plentiful, even when I feel like I loaded the hell out of the brush, and the water load was enough to put the lather in danger of collapsing. The revelation with my WCS brush came when I stopped bowl lathering with it and face lathered instead, and I suspect this brush will behave much the same. It probably just needs to break in a little more and it'll excel at face lathering.

The soap even lathered suboptimally for my liking gave plenty of glide, and the razor just cleaved through the hair. I was left with a very nice, smooth shave. I only do two passes, with and across, so I don't bother with BBS. My face feels clean and great, so I'm happy with it!

SOTD - 2019.7.18
Growth: 48h aprox.
Pre: shower, blooming water
Brush: Semogue 1305
Soap: B&M Seville
Razor: Rockwell 6S
Blade: voskhod (#2)
Post: Alum, concoction (*), Nivea sensitive
Passes: 2 - WTG (R3), XTG (R4)
Rating: 4.9/5 - excepcional

(*) witch hazle 100ml, tea tree (10), Argan (25), aloe (10) - (drops)

Back home with an exceptional shave. Enjoyable, confortable and very, very smooth.
After 5 weeks using the VB Emperor, I can certainly say that the Rockwell is much smoother. However, with the S6 you feel a bit more drag but with 0 irritation. The alum block felt like water, not even a minor itch anywhere.
The concoction is a home mix and love it. It’s like a tonic: astringent, disinfectant, moisturizing and alcohol free.

What a slick shave. My face feels so smooth.

Soap: Razorock Lavender
Brush: Simpson Special Pure Badger
Razor: Gillette Super Speed
Blade: Wilkinson Sword (1)
Aftershave: Razorock King Louis Lavender

Had to pitch that Dorco blade after three shaves, for whatever reason I get the most comfortable shaves from these Wilkinson Sword blades.

Also I’ve really enjoying the lavender shaves with the Razorock soap and aftershave. I’m about a quarter of the way through this container.
