-- Monday--
Prep: hot water wash with hand soap
Razor: RazoRock OC head on top of Ikon Bulldog handle
Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock Russian green (2)
Brush:Semogue 1800 boar
Soap: Proraso white tub
Scuttle: Georgetown Pottery G5 in Hamada glaze
Post: Thai Crystal deodorant stick and Thayers Witch Hazel with Aloe
Result:BBS in 3+ passes. Another great shave with RR OC and a fairly mild blade. I have a few mild blades with one or two shaves on them kicking around and I will take them all to 4 shaves and toss them with RR OC and/or Fatip Piccolo. I think that is a pretty good combination. I have enjoyed sharp blades in these razors, but these milder blades do really well and are more forgiving with very similar results.

The Cobra works really well with a weekend of growth. Feather DE tomorrow for the daily driver. I am becoming a big fan of the Grapefruit cream. No color and great scent as it gets warmer again up here.
