[p.b]

I’ve changed my mind about the extra soft horse brush: it simply doesn’t have enough backbone.
Other than that it was a fab shave.

Pre - Shower
Brush - Simpson Chubby 2 LE Faux Tortoise
Soap - Ariana & Evans Pamplemousse
Razor - OneBlade Genesis
Blade - FHS-10 (2)
Post - Cold water Rinse, TC's infused Witch Hazel
Balm - Barts Balm Tester B
A/S - Barbour "2016"

A very nice close comfortable BBS shave from the Oneblade today, this is the 1st use for me of the Genesis version which was acquired from BST, i do not know if it is the extra weight but i actually enjoyed using it today, not so "soulless", still very easy to use and probably impossible to mark yourself up.
Much better in the hand than the lightweight Core i tried.
As a razor it just works - very well.
The Barts Balm B tester is now finished - good stuff that.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all

You know Colin, it really is a delight. Such an exquisite piece. A safe and secure feeling when shaving with it and it would just sit there all day and perform. Heavy and confidence inspiring, I truly can’t wait to use it again. Sincerest respects as always my dear friend. J.

Razor = ATT Windsor Copper
Blade = Voskhod ( 1 )
Brush = Turn n Shave 26mm Boar Stoat
Soap = MDC Rose
Splash = DG Rose Sental
Balm = Nivea Daily Lotion

Totally Random shave today
no rhyme & reason as to why i picked anything apart from the splash as it’s the only Rose scented splash i have i think lol.
Again for me the Dury is out on this razor
it’s another i’m not using enough
i’ll need to check the weight but it’s very heavy.
Mind you i only had one very small weeper so not to bad but one is one to many for me.
Also Voskhod i haven’t used in months yet it was one of my favourites
Anyway that’s all my gripes but realistically it’s still a brilliant 8/10 shave.
Stay Safe Lads

Razor: Rockwell 6s
Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless , 1st use
Brush: Knothead Brush Works 26mm AP Shave Co. Synbad
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: Phoenix And Beau Trafalgar Puck
Aftershave: Phoenix And Beau Trafalgar Aftershave
Balm: Baxter Of California Aftershave Balm

A lovely shave from the Rockwell, it’s another one of my effortless razors that gets a good result regardless of the conditions and other equipment. I’ve never understood the worry’s about lathering this soap either. It’s always been a delight and is one of the smoothest bases I have.
A throughly delightful shave from start to finish!
Have a good day guys.
