Preshave: Hot water rinse + bloom water
Razor: Gillette Rocket HD
Blade: Perma-sharp Stainless (3)
Brush: Body Shop synthetic
Shave Soap: Wickham 1912 Russian Leather

An enjoyable shave today but I needed a lot more polishing work to get a satisfactory finish. Still, near BBS is a good result.

Enjoy your day.

RazoRock Plissoft 22mm
Tabac
ES Claymore V1
Schick Proline Type P [ 18 ]
Alum Rub/Rinse off
Tabac A/S lotion

An interesting Shave, though still quite smooth and comfortable I feel that the blade is on the wane,as the finish
is not as close as usual. But a run of 18 Shaves on a blade is good going for me. Time now to try out a Feather Pro
in this razor for the first time.

Wednesday's caravan shave

Face wash Nivea Men Sensitive
Mason Pearson pure badger
Palmolive cream
Merkur 37c / Astra SP (1)
Homemade Tea Tree Witch Hazel
Old Spice Original A/S

Simple shave this morning, no pre or post shave used except the witch hazel.
The Palmolive cream as always was reliable and a pleasure to use.
The post shave feel is really good, hence no post shave balm.
Anyone on a tight budget could do a lot worse than using Palmolive all the time.
Three passes and I'm left silky smooth, and the old spice is a winner too!

my condolences go to those poor soulsaffected by the fire in London. I was bought upin that area.

Blade: Wilkinson Sword England (#9)
Brush: Proraso Boar
Soap: Proraso Green
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Humphrey's Witch Hazel

Excellent shave today, I have not used the iKon 103 that much, but I think this is the best shave I have had using this razor so far. The NOS Wilkinson Sword blade still going well on shave 9, nice smooth and close shave. The Proraso green products leaving my face cooled but not frozen.

It's been a while since the Hawk came out to play. Here it's mounted on a Sabi handle.
Some have reported irritation problems with the Scottish Fine Soap. I'm happy to report no such issues here.

All good for a pleasant, smooth drama free shave.:happy:
