Completed my first ever head shave this morning and it went very well. It was needed as temperature is currently 33 degrees but humidity is around 80+%.
Pre-Shave: Cold Shower
Razor: Rockwell 6S Plate 5
Blade: Personna Med Prep (1)
Brush: Simpsons Trafalgar T3 Synthetic
Soap: Razorock Blue Label soap stick

Post-Shave: Alum Block

Took my time with this one. WTG and ATG passes only. No nicks, cuts, claret or irritation just a BBS dome. Will I do another head shave only time will tell. Till then onwards and upwards

Notes:

Much to my own surprise still in. Had some major temptations the past week (or two), but managed to steer clear in part helped by random strangers getting those excellent razors before I did. Thank you strangers!!

This razor is a delight to use. Tiger blade going on 6 today and so far with pleasing results. Today was no different. Great performance and solid glide as well.
