Post Christmas

28.12.2022 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Splash
  • Razor: Rockwell 6C (4)
  • Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium
  • Lather: Declaration Grooming – Cuir et Epices
  • Post-shave: Declaration Grooming – Cuir et Epices

I really enjoyed the first use of the Rockwell up on the dome. Obviously I’m still dialling in the correct blade and razor setting for both the face and the dome.

The Wizamet blade matched with the 4 Plate seems to be working well. It could become my goto setting for the remainder of the my Wizamet blades. I am curious how it matches with the Feather blades I purchased. I still have a few blades from my mixed pack when I first started wet shaving I need to get through. Soon though, very soon.

Christmas eve

24.12.2022 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Splash
  • Razor: Rockwell 6C (4)
  • Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium
  • Lather: Ariana & Evans – Vanille de Tabac
  • Post-shave: Ariana & Evans – Vanille de Tabac

It’s Christmas Eve, what better way to start the next few days with a gorgeous shave, taking my time to get all the areas necessary.

I gave the Rockwell a go up on the dome. First time for is, the Lupo makes more noise that the Rockwell. The audible feedback is diminished with the Rockwell. It adjusts the way I shave, however the additional weight means less work on my behalf adjusting the pressure.

So a great shave all up for a good couple of days.

A long one

18.12.2022 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Splash
  • Razor: Razorock – Lupo Aluminium
  • Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium
  • Razor: Rockwell 6C (4)
  • Blade: Derby Usta
  • Brush: Yaqi – Lucky Dice
  • Lather: Ariana & Evans – Kaizen
  • Post-shave: Ariana & Evans – NYC
  • Post-shave: Phoenix Shaving – Awesome Sauce Balm

Today was a bit of a longer shave today. It’s the second use for the Rockwell 6C, and I’m still working out which plate works best. So far the Rockwell has only been a face razor. Last time I used Plate 3, this time was Plate 4. A decent shave combination, obviously I am working out the best combination of blades and razor plate for the Rockwell.

I’ve narrowed down the dome to the Razorock Lupo with any half decent blade (Feather & Wizamet), so that will be my go to unless I want to mix things up, which I might with the new Rockwell.

Sunburnt

  • Prep: Hot Splash
  • Razor: Razorock – Lupo Aluminium
  • Blade: Merkur Super Platinum
  • Brush: Yaqi – Lucky Dice
  • Lather: Ariana & Evans – NYC
  • Post-shave: Phoenix Shaving – Awesome Sauce Balm

I’m not going to share anything about this shave. It was an uneventful shave, that did the job on a slightly sunburnt head. Time to start wearing a hat outdoors.
