Back to the Stirling Scots Pine Sheep today. I like it. 3rd shave with a Voskhod blade. Still going strong. Nick and burn free shave. I finished with the TSD Signature, which is a nice Bay Rum blend.

-- Thursday--
Prep: hot water wash with hand soap
Razor: Ikon ShaveCraft 101 head on top of RazoRock Little Bastone handle
Blade: Perma-Sharp Super (2)
Brush: Home made exotic wood handle with TGN two band Fines
Soap: PannaCrema Namaste
Scuttle: Georgetown Pottery G5 in Hamada glaze
Post: Thai Crystal deodorant stick and Thayers Witch Hazel with Aloe
Result: BBS in 3+ passes. Second shave with the SC 101 head. Just amazingly smooth shaver. Again, I prefer the OC side and wish both sides were the same OC design. SB side shaves well, but has more drag and just does not feel as effortless and smooth as the OC. OC side, on the other hand is very close to perfect in smoothness. It could be a touch more efficient, but it's good enough in that department and I may try shimming it just to see what happens, but it is an amazingly good shaver as is on the OC side.
PannaCrema Namaste soap has kind of made me stop rotating soaps. I've been using just Namaste since I got it last week. Wow! It really delivers consistently excellent lather despite the various brushes I throw at it. Boar, badger, it makes no difference. The lather produced is perfectly hydrated and super protective and slick. Just a perfect soap.
