RR 400.Se-Plissoft noir
Lea Classic soap
Schick Type F
NOS Schick S/S - Holland [ 2 ]
Lea Classic A/S lotion
The Early Schicks are really nice Shavers , when combined with this blade the Type F is amazingly good and clears my harsh 2 day stubble with ease. Perhaps the early type B is next in line as I have not used it for a while.

When I shaved, it was a gray day, perfect for a vetiver; now it's a summer cologne day, even though it's cool.
I use this razor very little, I don't know why....
It is very good, well built, mild but efficient, and in excellent condition.
In addition, the handle offers a perfect grip, even with soapy hands.
Great lather thanks to the foresight and generosity of the Samples Donor who offered me a piece that could be used as a stick.

Pre: hot towel to the face, proraso green preshave cream
Brush: yaqi 26mm mysterious space tuxedo
Soap: Declaration grooming + chatillon lux lamplight penance
Razor: Rockwell 6s R4
Blade: Gillette Winner #2
Post: pinaud clubman, bartsbalm Ben Moore
what a shave - 3 passes for 95% BBS shave.
Decided to bowl lather this time to see how this soap performs - and it’s amazing. From the soaps I’ve tried so far it’s probably one of best performers. Nice residual slickness too so no need to reapply for touch ups. The scent is quite heavy on this one - can still smell it despite the aftershave splash and lotion . Very peculiar scent - probably would be best for autumn/winter
Blade is definitely a keeper - I’ll need to order a pack of 100 of them too I think. So sharp and smooth, literally gliding on the face and taking all hair off. Definitely my favourite right up there with Gillette 7o’clock blacks.
Shave finished off with generous splash of pinaud clubman and Ben Moore lotion. Face is feeling so smooth
No errors to report. Feeling fresh!
Have a great Friday gentlemen

Pre: Shower
Brush: Simpson Chubby 2
Soap: Signature Soap Britannia
Razor: R94 Mühle Rocca V4 Stainless
Blade: Wizamet SI (5)
Post shave: Cold water rinse, TC's Infused Witch Hazel
Balm: Proraso Green / Argan Oil
Aftershave: Proraso Green
A nice face lather with the wonderful Signature soaps, one of the top performers in my soap den, the Britannia just pipping the Eboracum in the scent stakes for me, i like the spice from the aniseed.
Another deliberate 2 pass shave routine using multi direction strokes according to beard mapping, it is taking a little more time at present as it is not a natural technique - yet. i will carry on with this routine to see if i can get it down as a more natural "procedure". This Wiza SI blade is still smooth and not tugging at all. I may run it out in another razor later on, i will see, saying that 5 brilliant shaves from 1 blade is more than enough and i could not really ask for more.
This weeks shaves have been really enjoyable considering i was not expecting too much from the V4 Rocca, i find it is a top shaver and is up there with the best of my DE's, it looks good, is well balanced and shaves me very well, YMMV. Thanks @RussellR5555, i will be trying other blades out in it even though the pairing this week was a match made in shaver heaven for me.
Another very special package arrived today, the Pass-around Carbon CX316, thanks @Nishy & Chris @Boycie83 for forwarding this on.
Next week will see it running for the week.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Last night's shave
Paradigm Titanium II
Wizamet
Paladin PK-47 G7
Wholly Kaw Fougére Mania
Pitralon classic aftershave
Received the WK Fougére Mania yesterday which was a generous gift from @Tortuga. I was going to wait until the weekend but I couldn't wait.
A great soap which was easy to create a thick and glossy lather. Great slickness and protection.
The scent was stronger than I was led to believe. A nice scent too.
Thanks again Daz for a great gift.
Have a great weekend.
Cheers
Rob
