Today's my (56th) birthday, and to celebrate it I used ... well, it's mostly what I always use:
  • Rockwell 6s, plate #3
  • Polsilver SI, shave #3 on the blade
  • Tabac stick
  • Plissoft synth brush
The main variant today is I used my favorite A/S, Proraso Red.

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Tony Forsyth P&C LE 2017 Platypus High Mountain White Badger;
Soap: Tallow + Steel Boreal
Razor: Schick Krona
Blade: Polsilver Wizamet (2)
Post: Thursday Plantation Tea Tree and Witch Hazel; CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave
Scent: Knize Forest

First ever shave with a Schick Krona razor - a recent acquisition. Once I became accustomed to the lower mass, it was a delight to use. Very tactile, and despite being a mild razor, it gave good feedback. Also, the angle was easy to find. Three passes a a couple of buffs for a DFS+.

I matched the startlingly fresh Boreal soap scent with an equally robust fougère in the form of Knize Forest. Wonderful :D.
