Nearly every day, I'll make time for shaving, but yesterday was different; I had to be out and about much too early. But the resulting glorious shave this morning leaves me wondering if the intermittent shavers might have a point...
When I'm at work, I don't shave on a Sunday, so Monday morning is always a heavier growth; it is almost always the best shave of the week. Even knowing that, though, I'm not switching to every other day!
Shaving soap: Gentleman's Nod - Musashi
Brush: Executive Shaving Synthetic
Razor: RazoRock Game Changer .68

Firstly I hope you and your families have all been well best wishes to you all.
I had a very nice shave this spring afternoon with the Rocket flair tip , this classic Gillette razor works best for me with a sharp blade the Wizamet is always a good choice.
Anyone familiar with this razor knows it gives a good and somewhat forgiving razor.
The build quality of the razor like with many British Gillette's is top-notch really built to last a lifetime and then some.
The H&C year of the snake shave soap whipped up into a great thick creamy lather.
Great cushioning and protection.
The scent is fresh and clean with a great aftershave feel.
The captain’s choice cat O' Nine tails is really nice and quite spicy even for a Bay rum splash.
1 pass WTG 1 pass ATG with a couple of touch ups done.
"Enjoy your shave's"
Cheers to you all.
