Prep: Hot towel
Razor: Rockwell 6S – #3
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge (Yellow) just to see if it's as smooth as 'they' say.
Brush: Rooney Heritage 2XL Jade
Soap: Denton Majik: Unscented (Gamechanger) another new soap.
Post: CeraVe moisturising lotion..

the 'Yellow' was a touch too much for my liking, but thankfully the Denton Majik: Gamechanger offers a very protective lather, and a wonderful post shave feel, so all's well that ends well.

Where I'm From

Born and raised in NJ, my grandparents on both sides immigrated from Italy. All Italian shave tonight, except for the razor, which is a tribute to my father. He passed five years ago now, and had a birthday earlier this month. He was a SE guy, and had a Pushbutton just like this one, and a Featherweight too if I remember correctly. Happy Birthday Dad!

Razor: Karve CB with D plate 🇨🇦
Blade: Personna Platinum
Soap: Canada Shaving Soap 🇨🇦
Brush: Parker badger

Head shave only tonight, my face will have to wait until tomorrow.

I’ve never used a Platinum Chrome for a head shave before, and it delivered the goods 😁

It took down 7 days growth with no problem and minimal harshness. Usually with a weeks growth this razor tends to clog a bit, but with the Platinum Chrome this problem disappeared. Weird.

The Karve and Canada Shaving Soap are both from where I was born and still live, with the soap from Ontario where I live now. I couldn’t narrow it down to the city, but the province isn’t bad right???
