Extra time on the weekend means I can enjoy a slower shave. After 40 laps on the auto-stop I took the Rolls out for a spin. A bit of razor burn, but no crimson, ending in a BBS.

P.S.

I can’t use Skin Bracer anymore without being reminded of Jack Palance. Very under appreciated actor in my humble opinion.

Speechless but I have one question.
How does this soap manage to hold a gallon of water on my face yet disappear instantly when water hits the blade to rinse?

Brush: Alpha Shaving Brushes BetaHive Cu 28mm SHD Fan
Razor: RR Baby Smooth Al
Blade: Wizamet SI (5)
Pre: Shower
Soap: B&M Lime/Lavender/Cedarwood
Post: B&M Lime/Lavender/Cedarwood A/S Splash // The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 30 ml
WTG, ATG, Touchups = DFS

Not the biggest fan of this scent as its too earthy for my liking but the base works well with sublime lather produced by the badger knot. Shave wise this was first attempt using a Wizamet in this razor and although smooth there was significant blade feel that I have yet to experience when using this mild razor?
Not really noticing any dramatic difference to my skin since using the Hyaluronic Acid except it feels sticky but dries well and leaves head looking shiny.
Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!

Good lather from the soft soap. The scent really comes out during lathering. The performance was ok.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was ok too. Reasonably smooth and comfortable for 3passes except for atg on chin and lips but no nicks nor weepers for a dfs to ccs result. Time's up for the blade. Rating 9.3/10

Wow. The copper razor may have been slightly smoother than the 17-4 version, even with a brand new blade. Of course the great shaving soap helped.
