| Comments | The Razor Rock soap, after 69 shaves, is rapidly disappearing. With continual use, the soap has become very soft, and any brush has an easy time loading it and making a nice lather. I have been impressed with this Italian soap. The next brush in my rotation is one made by Rudy Ver. It has a Shavemac D0 1 two-band knot. Some folks find this knot too “scritchy,” but I like it This was the fourth shave with my Henson AL13++ and PolSilver Super Iridium blae. The razor continues to do a good job. This was a perfect shave. Have a wonderful day, folks. |

Razor, maiden voyage with new to me Schick Eversharp with Chinese Schick injector blade. Very close and sharp. This is an outstanding combination for enthusiasts who want something vintage and very efficient.
Duke 2 Best, one of my favorite brushes and the excellent TRC bowl. I was in the store yesterday and looked them all over in person and picked two including this to go with the two I already have.
New Arianna and Evans Daniele Maullu Legacy soap. This is an incredible base. The woody aromatic fougere fragrance is great, but a little too strong for my tastes. The soap is fast, cushioning, and very slick. If they make a delicately scented versatile fragrance soap in this base, I will probably lose interest in trying soaps, creams, and pre creams. Also, an unscented version, I would buy without hesitation. Fine citrus splash. The Barber Blue would be a better match for the soap. Of course the matching splash would be a perfect match, but I am not big on the matching sets.
9/10. Excellent BBS shave on 2 days growth. I am looking forward to trying the soap again with different hardware, but the Schick is awesome, too.
