Rose is a new purchase to me and first time using it - performs exactly as I would hope and the scent is subtle but very nice ... Agrumes tops it scent wise for me

Fantastic shave overall and the balm proves to be stellar ... new printed logo Gillette Platinum blades performed exactly the same as the older etched ones

Razor: OneBlade Core (passes 1 and 2), Bic Flex5 Hybrid (pass 3)
Blade: Feather FHS-10
Brush: RazoRock Plissoft synthetic
Soap: L'Occitane Cade

After two completely ineffectual passes with the OneBlade and a fresh Feather, I regrouped to finish the shave with my trusty Bic, which turned a potentially disappointing shave into a DFS. 7/10

I'm not sure how anyone gets a good shave with the OneBlade. My first shave with the razor was amazing but it's been downhill ever since.

After a morning of raking leaves it was time for a nice leisurely shave which turned into a BBS!

Now its time for Family, Food and Football, Happy Thanksgiving folks!
 
Pre-shave:- Argan Oil Soap
Bowl/Scuttle:- None
Brush:- Synthetic
Soap/Cream:- Palmolive Stick
Razor/Blade:- Gillette Tech and Topaz (5) and Topaz (1)
Post/After-shave: Coconut Oil
Fragrance:- Lacoste


Fifth shave with the Topaz blade, the blade has dropped from being good yesterday to terrible today, swapped it for another Topaz for the second pass.

Hot wash, loads of argan oil soap, rinse, Palmolive stick on the face, lathered up and coconut oil to finish.

Shave was a solid 7, the Gillette and the Topaz work well together.

Prep/Pre-shave: Neutrogena wash then applied Cremo
Brush: Shavemac 23mm Badger
Bowl: Copper Shaving Bowl
Soap: Stirling Electric Sheep
Razor: FaTip Piccolo SE Gentile-SB Plate, Grande handle
Blade: Personna Israeli Platinum Red (1)
Post-shave: Alum, Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aftershave Balm: Stetson
Cologne: Original Stetson

WTG, ATG plus some buffing and XTG touch--up

Solid, Wife Approved BBS.

Had two small weepers that were gone with the cold water rinse. No nicks, cuts or irritation.

9++/10

The FaTip Piccolo SE with the Gentile (SB) base is such a pleasure to use. Mild and efficient (not R41 efficient, calm down ;)), it gets the job done in a relaxing, mellow and comfortable manner. To compare, I'll use the OC plate tomorrow with everything else the same.

My face is happy. :)
