Today's shave:
Razor: Weishi 9306 Long Handle
Blade: Derby Extra (shave #2)
Brush: Razorock Big Bruce 26mm plissoft
Soap: Custom Van Der Williams Blend with Dove, Ivory, Prorasso & Arko with a small dab of LEA Professional Cream
Result: Very Good 2+ pass 9.5/10 BBS shave

Second shave since I rotated from my King C. Gillette back to my Weishi. Typical shave with a pre-shave face wash. Used the last of a custom blend puck residual that was in my apothecary mug. Was nice to finally 3017 something.

Added a small pea sized dab of LEA cream as I wasn't sure there was enough soap left. Mix produced plenty of lather, likely enough for another shave. After consuming everything in the mug and building lather I then face lathered to complete the process. Lather was nice and creamy with plenty of slickness. Derby blade is holding up well providing an efficient and smooth shave.

I then proceeded to do my normal 2+ pass shave. As is sometimes the case when I've recently transitioned from my mild King C. Gillette to the moderate Weishi I did get a small weeper during the shave. Hence the downgrade to 9.5 out of 10.

Overall result was a great BBS shave. Will transition to a fresh puck of Williams shaving soap from my inventory tomorrow. It's been over a year since I used straight Williams. Looking forward to revisiting the soap I started with when I returned to DE over five years ago.

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.

Glad to see your RR Classic has lasted 69 shaves. Also it's an older 125ml version versus the newer 150ml containers. Given how soft the soap is I scoop mine into a stainless bowl to avoid having it become water logged. Great soap regardless of how we load it!

IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR SHAVE

Four Days Whiskers

MUSIC: In Through The Out Door by Led Zeppelin, 1979. Led Zeppelin's and Bonham's last studio album. The end of an era.

PRE-SHAVE:

- Hot Shower

- Proraso Pre-Shave Cream Cypress and Vetyver (IT)

BOWL: Coconut Shell (SP)

SOAP: Castelbel Gentlemen's Club Sea Salt & Grape Fruit (PT)

BRUSH: Semogue Hereditas Finest Badger 2040 HD 55x24 mm (PT)

- Nice hair and nice Lather maker.

SR: Mühle R41 GS (D) -

Good old R41, still one of the most efficient SRs out there.
On pass one I was almost done.

BLADE: Derby Extra (TUR) (3):

The R41 put it to sing.

POST-SHAVE:

- 444 Alum-Block (PT):

Mild to medium feedback over the first couple of minutes.

- Musgo Real Classic Scent After-Shave (PT)

THE SHAVE:

10/10 Super efficient shave. And no fuss.
It was a very thoughtful shave. The R41 needs concentration. If that is observed the wolf is tamed.

Only two passes: One WTG, the other ATG except for Mustache and Chin Areas where I went XTG from West to East.
