Soap: Woflpac - Silk Road
Brush: Semogue 1305
Razor: Wapienica
Interesting what we take for granted - woke up to no power this morning so the pressure pump from the rain water tank doesn't work but fortunately we have a town water connection which is only low pressure but when you've got no water low pressure water is great water. Had to use lighter on gas stove to cook breaky, lol, survival skills for first world problems.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: The Stray Whisker Silvertip Badger
Soap: Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Cold Spices
Razor: Rockwell 6C (R6)
Blade: Vintage NOS London Bridge (2 and done)
Post: The Stray Whisker Alum block, Aramis
Disappointing rough shaves today and yesterday with the vintage London Bridge blade. Might just be a dud, might not be a good fit with the Rockwell, or maybe just not good for my beard. Either way I'm wrapping up this experiment early.

Another top shave with the open comb D Karve plate. Wasn’t sure it’d be a nice shave 2 days running but I was wrong.
The soap donut is growing each day. Won’t be too long, but it will have to wait until next week since I’m off the Brissy tonight for a few days. Speick stick’s turn...

Mail call and SOTD - got the Declaration Grooming Sellout to try the Icarus base. On first use I still slightly prefer the regular base, but could be my dialling in of the lather. Scent is nice, certainly more tar than pineapple reminiscent of older batches.
Razor is the Maggards V3M head with the MR16 handle. Holds the blade securely and alignment is good with the 4 post design. Not as mild as I would have thought, shaving similar to the karve c plate. It does have blade feel, and delivers a decent shave nearing on bbs (sides of adams apple, usual spot, not as close as other more efficient razors). For $17 USD, not a bad purchase though and a good starter razor.
