Cold Water Face Rinse./Cold water face wash with brush squeezing's,/Alum Rub./Cold Water Rinse./Homemade (~Autumn/Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Mixed Together With Care+Witch Hazel./Duru Mandarin Cologne./Wilco Men's Moisturiser.

Greetings,

Relaxing Sunday morning shave.

The mild Yaqi DOC Mellon benefited wonderfully from the assertive Feather Hi stainless, cutting through my face stubble superbly.

I bloomed the top of the soap in tepid water for 5 minutes in the shaving bowl, then loaded the brush up with the bloom water mixed up the lather adding water to the tips of the brush and was rewarded with incredibly citrusy scented rich, creamy lather with a very good slickness and a wonderful post shave feeling to my face. I forgot how good Razorock soaps perform.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Wilco Men's Moisturiser.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.😉

Keep safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.😎

A very enjoyable bit of sink time with the Blackland Tradere heavyweight this morning, i find it easy to manoeuvre around the face and it is a nice fit for my big mitts. This razor always delivers for me, BBS and comfortable from 2 passes with some touch up.
Enjoy your day all.

Yaqi Romulus w/ iKon ss handle; Feather Pro
Mühle Kosmo 31K876
Valobra Menthol
Pitralon



The Valobra (discontinued) soft soap is heaven, things we were taking for granted when they were easily available.

First use of the Swiss Pitralon even though I purchased it 3-4 years back.
Not an ordinary contender by any means.
Very nice post-shave feeling (and that includes the moisturizing ability) plus a slightly peculiar scent.

The Romulus is tested for a third time in a year.
The use of the iKon handle improves handling a lot but I feel the head's top cap is no way as accurate as the Vector's, even though the Yaqi offers a milder shave...
