I chased a BBS this morning and shouldn’t have.

That is an amazing handle / razor. Please can tell me what it is?

Pre shave: Hot shower and Neutrogena glycerin soap bar
Razor 1960 Gillette 195 Adjustable (7)
Blade: Feather (3)
Brush: Captain Fawcett Synthetic V
Bowl: Arran Shave Stone
Soap: Noble Otter Rainroot
Post shave: Noble Otter Rainroot aftershave splash

We'll this evenings shave was incredible, the stars just seemed to align on this one.
3 passes that were smooth as butter with no post shave issues and a perfect, smooth finish that'd put silk to shame.

And what a combination this was.

The perfect performance of the justifiably legendary 195 adjustable, a brush with the perfect amount of backbone for fast nowl lathering, incredible slickness, glide and protection from the thick, silky smooth lather and amazing Petrichor scent of the N O rainroot soap paired with the Glycerin prep layer, a feather blade and a splash with more of that intoxicating scent, outstanding, instant soothing and a menthol chill.

I was enjoying it so much, I was a bit disappointed that I'd finished.

Hope you all have a great weekend and equally great shaves!

It’s a Rasorock Hawk V3 open comb with a Russian-made handle, either Tibam or Stork, but not available in Europe anymore and I can’t remember what it’s called - maybe Mace
