DE SOTD, Thur, June 24, 2021

Razor: Razorock Game changer.84 , MFG 2018> well built SS razor tame mid range with a standard blade. I like to use a Kai extra wide in this razor for more blade feel and the results are mostly excellent.
Blade: Kai SS (8) Excellent sharp & smooth blade with great longevity. Blade is .009" or 9/1000 of a inch wider than a standard Gillette Astra SP blade.
Soap: Razorock what the puck lime, nice summer lime scented soap with excellent lather qualities. Tripled milled soap also.
Brush: Yaqi HM 24mm Silver tip, excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, great scrub + great lather painter, not a lather hog.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Witch hazel+ Nivea refreshing As + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + 2 blemish weepers= Excellent shave with my RR GC .84 with a Kai SS blade.

Have some great shaves!

Preshave: shower, frigid tap water
Brush: Semogue Owners Club Mistura Taj
Soap: Stirling Soap ~ Hipster
Razor: Blackland Blackbird SS
Blade: Wilkinson Sword Germany (3)
Post shave: frigid tap water, Nivea Sensitive 2in1 AS, Calani Purissima asb.

My 3rd shave with the OC Blackbird is the books. Another stunningly close shave without nicks or irritation. Though I'm still in the honeymoon phase I'm ready to admit: I'm sold on this razor.

Have a great day, y'all!
