Sorry Gents, I’ve been super busy with preparing to move but haven’t forgotten you all or my shaves! Hope you are all doing well.
Here’s my SOTN:
It was an excellent and enjoyable. A CCS+ is just what I shoot for.
Rockwell 6S plates 4&5
Yaqi brush
Dorco Prime blade (3 uses in a row and it’s been great!) I haven’t used this blade for over 2 years and it tastes and technique has improved drastically so this is now a blade that I ordered 100 of, prior I only used it once and got destroyed.
Soap & Splash are strike gold.

Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
Schick Krona
Astra SP Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Brut After Shave

I started with the cold water rinse. The Williams lathered well with the Jayaruh #425. I did two passes with the Schick Krona razor with a Astra SP Blade. After a cold water rinse, I finished with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Brut After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.
