Mon 11 SR SOTD
Soap Ariana & Evans London
Brush Yaqi 26mm Lucky Dice 2 Band Badger
Razor Dorko 43 Near Wedge
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Ariana & Evans Kaizen Splash
Very good quality lather from the soap! An aromatic nice mild scent (but growing stronger) with a very creamy and slick lather...
Missed using SR due to work & limited time but the itch won't go away so just did it anyway...managed 2passes with an acceptable sas result without any issues. The razor's edge was soooo smooth and the entire shave although hurried but very enjoyable. Aftershaves were excellent.

BLADE: Feather DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger

Razor: RazoRock GC .84
Blade: Israeli Personna Plat (1)
Brush: Vulfix 404 Grosvenor, mixed Badger/ Boar, 21mm
Bowl: Potter's House Ceramic

Post: Thayer's Peach Witch Hazel
Epsilon Amber After Shave

I had some leftover in my bowl from yesterday and purposely left it. The Kell's Amber scent was altered in a most excellent way and the lather was super rich. I did three passes to a very close finish. The Thayer's Peach followed by Epsilon Amber went really well together.

Have a great day everyone

1933 silver Wardonia/Treet Falcon/Khalifa. With this razor and blade pairing I'm promoting the Wardonia to full Amazeballs 5 status. Completely comfortable, single lather BBS, no third party pickups. Truly amazing design, the anti-Wolfman for it's different is better approach to blade clamping.

Great shave kit, Don! Can’t beat a GC! Always a great shave with good technique!

Thank you.
I think I have more RazoRock razors than any other brand. I was purchasing them when they were still made in India. They made a great leap forward when they got the facilities to do their own mfg in Canada. That's when their Stainless Steel razors started.
