Comments
This was the fourth shave with the Razor Rock Stealth slant and PolSilver Super Iridium blade. The shave was close and smooth. I think a few more shaves are remaining with this blade. This is the second shave with the TSF Crema Purissima Per Barba. As I reported yesterday, this excellent soap is easy to load and makes a superb lather. The Rudy Vey brush had an easy time making the lather. With the second use of this soap, I realized it does not need extensive loading to create a rich lather. It was a perfect shave. Have a great day, folks.

Soap : Razorock Irish Country side, nice scented soap with excellent lather qualities. I have always been been impressed with the lather quality.
Brush : Yaqi "mysterious space" 24mm timber wolf synthetic knot. One of Yaqi's better knots.
