Morning shave - 5/23/24
Razor: RazoRock Quick-Change TTO
Blade: Ladas Stainless Steel (2/5) (4)
Soap: BSS #1
Brush: RazoRock RR400
Aftershave: Stetson Cooling Moisture
Rating: 9/10, DFS+
I brought back a trouble maker razor this morning, but I actually had quite a nice shave with it. This razors sports quite the feedback, which many times is a sign of a poorly supported blade and maybe that is why this razor has not been the best for me. I did end up with just a little bit of post shave skin sensitivity. Close enough for it's intended purpose though.

In!

A shave like on cruise control.
Two passes with a few touch-ups, simply very nice and comfortable. Almost BBS.

The TOBS #50 did a great job, it's slick (when properly hydrated) and lifts the spirits thanks to its fresh scent. Come to think of it, it's indeed divine smelling stuff....
It's a shame TOBS doesn't produce this soap anymore.

Have a nice day, Gents!

Still in. Couldn't make up my mind today so I just grabbed the Merkur and VDH soap and boar. No prep shave with one small weeper.

I'm not checking this place as much, as constantly looking through the forum can be a good way to trigger my needs to buy more stuff!

Fatboy Friday shave. I decided to shave on setting 3 (and 5 on my chin area). Three passes, uneventful. DFS+. A super solid shave.
