SOTD

Razor: RazoRock GC 0.68
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium
Brush: RazoRock Big Bruce 26mm
Soap / Cream: RazoRock Sandalwood
Aftershave: RazoRock Sandalwood

A Damn Fine Shave with GC 0.68 and i love Sandalwood so dose my wife as well.

Just feeling like using one of the few CNC Razor i've bought over time after i got in to wetshaving those are, RazoRock Game Changer 0.68, RazoRock Mamba 0.70, RazoRock SS Lupo 0.58 and RazoRock BBS Standard.

RazoRock Game Changer 0.68 really was a game changer for me because i came from super market bought Gillette Mach3, in New Zealand the basic set are cheap to buy Mach3 Razor + 3 Cartridges = $13 but a Pack of 5 x Mach3 Cartridges = $30 its just Expansive to upkeep with Cartridges Razor, so i looked in to wetshaving and jump in to the Rabbit Hole to see how deep it gose.

Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Amalfi Basil Lemon Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #144
Hoffritz Travel Razor
Astra SP
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Old Spice Classic After Shave

The Amalfi Basil Lemon Shaving Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #144 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Hoffritz Travel Razor and the Astra SP Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Old Spice Classic After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thank you! I can’t wait to try this out. What plate do you have? I got the 88+ and for reference I like the Rockwell 6S plate 4-5 and RazoRock GC 76.

I have the .68 and 1.08 in stainless. .88 is a good shaver and puts you in the middle of the road with the other plates. If it gets to the point where you feel the need to bump your efficiency, pick up the .68 plate~the original. Doesn't make a lot of sense but it's literally a cut above the + plate.
 
Evening DE shave today after 24 hours away from the sink so changing from Guido's Open Comb blade to Closed Comb and from badger to boar on the brush combined with a great scent of soap and ASL

Alpha Shaving Works - Stubble Meets Steel Guido Brass Closed Comb
Nomad Theory Soap and After Shave Splash
Zenith 502 Turchese Boar Bristle
Gillette Wilkinson Sword Salon Pack (3rd use)
Happy Sunday to all of you!
