Todays shave

Razor: Rockwell 6S no. 3 plate
Blade: Nacet
Brush: omega 10049
Cream: Wars
Post: Aqua Velva + Nivea sensitive balm + Nivea men creme

Loving the Rockwell on the no. 3 plate. Incorporated a rare third ATG pass, and survived. The weight of this razor really does the work for me!

Went a little overboard with the post shave. Decided to try the balm instead of the cream, but I felt it left my skin a bit dry, so I went a head with a generous amount of Nivea men creme as well.

Prep: The Body Shop sugar scrub
Soap: Stirling Electric Sheep
Brush: Shavemac Silvertip Two-band fan
Razor: Mühle R89 Grande, #7 (shimmed)
Blade: Feather, #2
Post: Alum -> hyaluronic acid -> Aqua Velva aftershave

Two steep passes plus neck touch-ups for a DFS, but with feedback from the alum and a couple of weepers. Not especially comfortable. The Shavemac was a delight, however.

An excellent shave. :biggrin:

Today was my first ever experience of "The Veg." I just HAD to try it. I was certainly wary, especially when so many Arko lovers seem to love The Veg too. (I've mentioned my Arko experience before, and won't go over that trauma again in this post.)
:Veg: The Veg arrived this morning so I gave it the initial sniff test followed by a drop on the wrist sniffed half an hour later. There's quite a difference between the top and base notes, but neither of them had me screaming or wanting to escape. It's now two plus hours post shave and the scent is still quite strong... but it's interesting and not overpowering. I wonder if it'll grow on me more, could I be chosen? :001_unsur
The blade feels as good as new. Over all a great performance by today's team. The team manager is very happy. :clap:


Happy shaves guys. :cornut:
 
Fri 26th SOTD
Soap The Goodfellas Smile Abysso
Brush Yaqi 24mm Silvertip
Razor Yaqi DLC
Blade KAI 4th (Mysterious KAI Blades PIF Participation)
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + TGS Abysso
Good soap. Nice scent and strength. Quality and performance are very satisfactory too...
Shave with razor paired with the blade is still good but noticeably reduced smoothness and efficiency. Still, it was comfortable in 3passes for a mostly bbs to dfs result with 1 micro creeper.
