Today's Sotd May 25th 2018:
spectacular Filarmonica 14 DT, I suppose quite old production, found in NOS conditions with the relative case.
The Vigoroso Soap of Barberia Bolognini by Marco Balocchi, confirms its protection with an olfactory presence throughout the shave, well-marked and "old style".
The scent that tastes like old barber is in olfactory continuity in the Aftershave, really good and very "vigorous" [emoji4]!
The PantaRei Brush, depicting a man in the act of shaving, is made of Mustang knot.

SOTD 25MAY18
Razor: Rocnel 'Sailor'
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium (6)
Brush: M&F 'L7 Finest'
Soap & Splash: The Club 'Warrior of Howling Fjord'

My first shave with the Rocnel Sailor adjustable; word of caution, use a flat surface to load the blade or the top cap may shoot off like a torpedo or you'll cut your finger off, lol. I started at setting 3 of 5 for both passes and found it to be as aggressive as the Charcoal Goods Level 2 SB (maybe a tad bit more) with a little more blade feel. It was close in smoothness to the CG L2 as well. I enjoyed the shave and find the Sailor to be a fine razor both in appearance and performance.
