First outing with a new razor in the RazoRock Old Type. I have to say it was a good start. Easy to use and smooth. Close enough, but it left a bit of stubble in a couple of places, but I am sure that will get resolved with use. Great shave.

Quickie before church shave to clean up a bit. did not want to do a full shave since I wanted to do that in the evening. The shave served its purpose and there was no issues.

Solid second shave with the RR Old Type. Seemed milder for some reason than my previous shave with it. I have to work at it a bit more. I will keep this setup and hopefully I can learn the razor well this week. Still a very presentable shave. Very smooth without any irritation.

Oh so smooth and comfortable. This razor really shines when it comes to comfortable shaves. It is on the milder side so I guess that makes sense. Still it is doing a good job cutting down the whiskers. I did have some areas with a little bit of stubble left though. Overall a great shave though.

A bit closer than last shave with this combo. I did have a couple of stragglers left, but it is getting better. No irritation, no issues. The razor is not the most efficient, but it is very good for a good shave irritation free and I take that.

Decided to use a more efficient razor this morning. Wow going from the RR Old Type to the Fatip Grande was quite the step up in efficiency and blade feel. I had to be a bit more careful because this one can bite. I had a very nice shave without any issues.

OK, I'll play. I started a new 10-pack tuck of the Dorco ST301 Stainless today. I'll commit to finishing it as it'll be part of FFFMM.

Just a fair warning! You start doing this and it is hard to go back. Besides imagine the order in your den when there is not an open tuck in sight besides the one you are using. Welcome to TaaT! Where tucks come to be eliminated!

First outing with the RR Mentor and it was a fantastic one. It does have a fair amount of blade feel and I could see it being a razor that could bite me. However, it did not and it was a super smooth and close shave. Very easy BBS! I need to use this razor some more because it was just awesome.

Started on a new to be blade in the BIC CP and since it is known as a sharp blade I went back to the RR Old Type razor in hope of that it would be able to tame the BIC. The RR Old Type did not seem like my type. It took a lot of effort to reach the level I did and the result was not stellar either. It is strange because it seemed to leave a straggler hair here and there and not really patches. I need to play more with the angles I think. No cuts, nicks or weepers though.

Rating: 7.5/10, DFS
Decided to use the RR Old Type a second time with this blade and this was probably my worst shave in a good while. I went shallow to see if that would help the Old Type shave closer and better. I think however that I also added too much pressure and I caused myself quite a bit of irritation and two weepers. The alum block told me that it was probably not a good idea to use an alcohol based after shave so I stuck with my Nivea after shave balm. Not sure what is going on here.

I was a bit more careful this time around and while it was certainly not the closest of shaves I at least had an irritation free shave. For some reason this razor is just not efficient for me. I can even feel the blade, but it is not efficient. It is kind of strange. Still a presentable shave.

Smooth sailings. Still going strong. I noticed tightness post-shave so irritation is coming if I am not careful. Very close shave, borderline too close.
