[Monsta_AU]

Pre-shave: Hot Shower, Man Towel, Cetaphil
Brush: P&C Platypus
Soap/Cream: APR Bombora
Razor/Blade: Rockwell 6S w/fresh Shick Super Stainless (Kona Edge)
Post/After-shave: None actually - as a test of the shave
Fragrance: None

Broke out the Auction win - the Rockwell. The first truly 'modern' razor that I have owned, and no I do not count the DE86 that I still have as modern since it is Zamak.

Excellent shave but definitely hard to get used to after years of running a Fatboy. The weight and balance will be something to get used to for sure.

wondering if @Monsta_AU will follow the rabbit into the hole of the modern razors

Yes, I can see your point. @Monsta_AU definitely NEEDS an R95 Birch Bark!

Maybe you might prefer the weight and balance of a Vector?

Edit: I thought the 6S was stainless. Isn't it the 6C that's zamak?

Last nights shave. Took the day off today to take the wifey for her 2nd vax shot and have a lunch date. While getting daughter ready for childcare we get an email saying the building has no power and therefore no care today The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.

Aaaaaaah gotta love the FAT!!, keeps your bare loveable skin smooth and soft as a

First use of R41 and it felt a lot tamer than I was expecting. I liked it but based on this first use, I find my Fatip open comb to be smoother and more efficient. I will have to try R41 with a few different blades though.

Pre-shave: Hot shower
Brush: @TroyTools 'Platypig' shaving brush
Soap/Cream: sample of Razor Master Tiovo shaving soap
Razor: Muhle R95 Rocca Birch Bark handle
Blade: Polsilver 'Brown' (6)
Post-shave: TSW After Balm
Fragrance: N/A

I'm not sure if anybody had to use Pinetarsol with skin irritations at any time. That is what I smell like!

Great lather though.

Third Day out with the Mamba .70 stiil OK

 

[Gargravarr]

Pre-shave: Hot water, Pears soap
Brush: Forgotten Art "Southern Skies" 30mm Snow Leopard
Soap: Czech & Speake - Oxford & Cambridge
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Chinese No-Name
Post-shave: Shower, homebrew moisturiser, La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF50+, Oxford & Cambridge Cologne
COTD: Monsoon Malabar, India

I was inspired by @Holiday's marathon stint with the CNNs to revisit that blade of no name. There have been mornings when I have had great shaves with this blade. This was not one of those mornings. Another example of Chinese quality control. I scratched and scraped my way to an eventual DFS, then chucked the blade out.

@Holiday, you don't have to suffer with these blades out of politeness just because I sent them to you - if you really hate them, just get rid of them
