Lovely shave with the pass around STAR. Very smooth and reasonably efficient.

Tom-X/Derby Premium. Plenty of blade feel on medium setting, close as I expect from the Tom-X.

SOTD 5 November (Remember, remember...)

Preshave: Pacific Shaving Company Bamboo Pre-shave Scrub
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Voskhod (#1)
Brush: Omega Pro 49
Soap: Razorock Tuscan Oud, bowl lathered in Fine Accoutrements Ceramic Lather Bowl
Aftershave: Razorock Tuscan Oud

This is my first shave with any Razorock product (I know, I know) and I must say the lather came together very quickly - a super-easy load and lather build - and was wonderfully slick and protective. This particular scent is a really interesting one - not quite what I expected from the description, but very pleasant.

Tuesday NOvember 5

Today I shaved with a Barbasol Floating Head - at least I think it's a Floating Head. Razor is in excellent condition and it gave me a great shave so I'm happy.

Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
Soap - La Savonniere du Moulin
Brush - Simpson Chubby 3 Manchurian
Blade - Gillette Platinum (1)
Razor - Barbasol Floating Head
Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, RR Blue

Shave rating 5 of 5

My first shave with this razor and I was very pleased. Efficient and mildly aggressive with a little blade feel. I don't think the blade feel would have existed if I didn't have 3 days growth. Did a 2 pass shave; first pass WTG was DFS. Very easy to use and maneuver. Second pass XTG and the razor and blade worked well together - BBS after second pass. The La Savonniere du Moulin provided excellent lather.

Happy NOvember and great shaves everyone.
