Vetiver Tuesday.
I've never used a Rockwell Blade that felt smooth or comfortable. They aren't the sharpest tool in the shed either. That doesn't mean they don't work. Three passes and a touch-up gave me a BBS finish. The Maggard V2 OC is a good head. The handle came from a $10. razor off Amazon. The Utopia head was well worth throwing away and the handle well worth $10.
Shaving Cream was good, not great. I read Queen Charlotte closed shop a few years ago.
The post shave items were great.
BBS 10.

Have a great day everyone [emoji106]

Tuesday morning shave, a very nice first shave while staying in suburban New York; two passes, plus clean up, 9++/10, DFS , no weepers, no irritation, and minimal stubble remaining:

Pre-shave: cool shower
Razors: SNMIRN adjustable razor- set on four, left this razor here from my last trip- not a bad shaver for a $10 adjustable off Amazon
Blade: Nacet (2)- shaved fine, nice sharp blade
Brush: Shavemac 20mm Pure badger- brush is performing nicely
Soap: Mogno shave bar- it's a very good easy to lather lather, budget soap
Post-shave: cold rinse, then some Fine American Blend AS splash- no sting, and a good scent

Have a great day!

Razor: King C. Gillette
Blade: Derby Extra (3rd use)
Brush: Semogue Owners Club
Lather: Martin De Candre - Original
Postshave: alum block
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman Vanilla

Score: 9.857/10

Wow! Great shave! I generated the lather using the Marco Method. For MdC, it only takes thirty seconds to load, and I have more than enough for a three pass shave, whereas all of my other soaps require around sixty.

I’m in my thirties. I tell people that Lilac Vegetal smells a lot like my grandpa. Whereas upon the initial splash, Pinaud Clubman Vanilla smells distinctly like some of the colognes my father (a baby boomer) use to wear when I was growing up. When those initial notes fade, the vanilla becomes more prominent. I like it more than I thought I would, and would recommend it.

Rudy brush with wd knot, ib hawk, catie's bubbles and feather proguard blades. Honestly all it takes is one wtg pass and I'm good, there so much blade feel here. A good shave, just wish it lasted a little longer/another pass

Wadaya… labeling your photos now?

My, aren’t we FANCY?!

Lockdown is doing my head in and the help line was engaged. Way too much time on my hands.
I sure I will return to my bad old ways.

This brings me to the end of the Summer of Seven Stirling Soap Samples!

Brush: PAA Solar Flare
Lather: Stirling Island Man -- "don't let the door hit ya on the way out..."
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Green (1)
Razor: Blackbird
Post: Thayer's and Executive Man

I shaved on just 20 hours of growth today, so I took extra care to go light on trouble areas. This was a very nice, easy shave. Island Man is an unremarkable scent, IMO. I'm glad I don't have a full tub of it to work through. Results: DFS with only moderate feedback from the aftershave splash. Rating: 9.2/10. I am enjoying lighter shaves these last few days or so.

- Brush: Simpson Polo 10 Best
- Razor: Rockwell 6S (plate 5)
- Blade: Feather (2)
- Soap: Wholly Kaw Iced Tea
- Aftershave: Wholly Kaw Iced Tea
- Post Shave: Thayers Rose, Hyaluronic Acid

Used my 6S tonight for the first time in a couple of months. Very smooth razor on the face but just doesn’t cut as close as my Wolfman or Karve. Even with a Feather blade it is almost impossible to cut yourself though.

The Somerset Polo 10 is a total beast. Super soft hairs (softer than modern Simpson Super) and holds a ton of lather. You have to fight with it as it likes to hold on to as much as it can. Takes forever to rinse out but it is a fun brush to use. Iced tea is a weird one. Main scent is basil with a tiny bit of lemon tea. Very cooling though as is the AS. Last shave with Iced Tea until next spring as I am bringing out more fall scents.

8.5/10

Love TOBS! Pretty much all I use is traditional English creams. I have three soaps: B&M Seville, Stirling Executive Man and DR HARRIS Arlington. How would you compare the 7 O’clock yellows to GSB or Voshkod?

I just got Kai blades and I haven’t used one. I heard they’re wider so they will make your razors more aggressive. Do these work well in vintage Gillette razors or does it ruin the shave in your opinion?
