Rustic Shave Soap Mahogany today. I like it the more I use it. I loaded the ER brush for 20 seconds and got enough lather for 3+ passes. I loaded a new Israeli Viking’s Sword in the Slim. Great smooth, close, nick free shave. I finished with Azzaro.

RazoR'OC'k-tober (25 Oct)
Pre: RazoRock/HTGAM mentholated lime soap
Soap: Super Smooth - Wickham Soap Co. - Bay rum
Brush: 22mm HMW custom birthday coin brush
Razor 1: Wadsworth XLNT
Razor 2: Ikon OSS
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock black (3)
Post: Thayer's witch hazel, followed by UK Barbershop "Bay Rum"


This is my last "at home" shave since I'll be traveling for business next week so I thought I'd treat myself. Wickham's soap lathered so easy I felt guilty. Wadsworth got a fresh edge (thanks Jamie!) and the shave was eXceLeNT! I always say you can never have enough naked women in your bathroom! :D Finished with SunburyBoy's bay rum. Perfect.

Prep - Warm shower, glycerine soap, *pre-lathered, hot flannel

Razor - Slim Adjustable

Blade - Astra SP (#6 - I love these blades!)

Brush - Omega 20106

Soap - *Arko with 1 drop Rosemary / 1 drop Lemongrass essential oils / 5 drops coconut oil

Passes - WTG / ATG, quick little buff here and there.

After - Alum block, left for 5 mins then a splash of witch hazel

Result - The most ridiculously BBS and comfortable shave I've ever had. The scent was intoxicating and the lather was like the mallow in a Tunnocks teacake. I can only put this down to the coconut oil. I've never had such a good preparation and it feels like I've been really pampered! This was my first time using witch hazel (14% alcohol) and like DE, I wish I'd found this sooner. I'd also never tried lathering up before steaming my beard with the flannel. This was probably why I only needed two passes and little buffing below my jawline. I'm also amazed that this is the sixth shave on this Astra SP.
