Razor - Muhle Rocca Blade - Astra SP Brush - Grizzly Bay "Salazar" 26mm Fanchurian 2-band Soap - Martin de Candre Vetyver A/S - Proraso Cypress and Vetiver
I am more and more impressed every time I use the Rocca. It's very smooth and very efficient. It definitely took down more with the first pass than the Tatara does, but really doesn't sacrifice smoothness. And I'm fully on board with the bigger handle; so easy to grip. First time I've used MdC, and the lather was not very good. Pretty sure my soap-water ratio was off, but I worked it on the face with paint strokes to press out the air and it was a little better. It gives really good glide, but almost no residual, probably because it was so thin that it all just washed away when I rinsed. The scent is freaking outstanding, though. I really really enjoyed it. Despite the lather result, it was a great shave. Smooth, clean, and clear!
