Prep
Hot shower
Rubbed this onto my face

Mixed a tiny bit of Stirling glacial wintergreen with some TOBS grapefruit cream
Whipped up a rich creamy lather in my bowl with a plisson brush.
Rockwell 6s plate 3 loaded with a Bic blade (3)
Osage rub
Polo green to smell awesome all afternoon.

9/10 shave

That hand cream is too greasy for my hands but makes an excellent pre shave.

Shave 20191130

Prep/Pre-shave: Neutrogena wash then applied Cremo
Brush: Shavemac 23mm Badger
Bowl: Copper Shaving Bowl
Soap: Stirling Electric Sheep
Razor: FaTip Piccolo SE OC Plate, Grande handle
Blade: Personna Israeli Platinum Red (2)
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.

As with the SB base, I had two small weepers that were gone with the cold water rinse but no nicks, cuts or irritation.

9++/10

The FaTip Piccolo SE with the OC base is as much a pleasure to use as the SB base. More efficient than the SB, it also gets the job done in a relaxing, mellow and comfortable manner.

My face is definitely happy. :)
 
11-30-19's shave

Prep: none, other than a quick face wash during a hot shower.
Brush: Van Der Hagen boar brush
Soap and bowl: Williams Mug Shaving Soap in a no name stoneware cider mug.
Razor: Schick Krona with silver TTO knob
Blade: Derby Premium, shave #2 on the individual blade.
Styptic pencil
Aftershave: Aqua Velva blue.

I'd say probably a 9 out of 10 on this one. First time using the Williams soap and that stuff is a lot more slick compared to the VDH Luxury soap I used previously. I wasn't prepared for the slickness combined with a nearly new blade and gave myself a few weepers.
 
RazoRock GC68 + Rapira Platinum Lux (1)
Hot shower
Proraso Green Preshave Eucalyptus Oil
RazoRock Plissoft Monster Synthetic + Proraso Green Shaving Cream
4 passes + touch ups to DFS+
No issues or irritation.
Finished with Proraso Blue ASB
Pleasant shave.
Rating: 9.5/10
Glad to get back from travel to use the good stuff.
