Nice review and scoring.

Thanks Tim! I hope I didn't give you buyer's remorse. The Sangre de Drago is a fantastic soap and scent. The aftershave really brings the scent alive. I put it on at 5:30 this morning and I am still getting whiffs of it!

Razor: Rockwell 6C
Blade: Gillette Rubie (1)
Brush: Omega Boar

Soap: CBL Premium- Sir Fougere
Aftershave: Osma Alum & Stirling Witch Hazel, Aloe, and Tea Tree & B&M Skin Bracer splash
Moisturizer: CeraVe Moisturizing Cream & Hyaluronic Serum drops
Fragrance: TBD

Results:

A lot to love about this shave. Elite soap with a great scent. For at time using a Gillette Rubie which I found to be a sharp and smooth blade that just may be my favorite. What I felt was the sharpness of a GSB with the smoothness of a Voskhod. Best of both worlds. Still have two new blades on the way that I want to try. This boar brush is pretty darn great as well. Very soft, with great splay, and lathers like a champ. An all around great shave!

Thanks for reading Cadre, and I hope y'all have a great Wednesday!

I still have the Personna Reds and Wizamets to try. Have you tried the Rubies?

Nice shave Pat! Don’t hear much about Rubies very often, glad they agree with you!

Nice readings Pat

Thanks Dave!

I hadn't heard much about them until I stumbled on them on Ebay. I looked up the reviews on them and a lot of people said they are really smooth blades. So I decided to order a few just to try out and I am pretty impressed by them. Thanks for reading Chris!
