Nice smooth shave.

Today I was working from home so I took some time to shave at 3 pm for tonight's festivities

4 days' stubble
Shower
Custom super silvertip w/ ivory handle (Matt-made)
Trumper's Rose cream
Vintage Select Quality Russia Shell strop
6/8 Heljestrand (1/2 pass)
6/8 Brockton (1/2 pass)
6/8 Wilbert (2nd pass)
Trumper's alum
Trumper's Coral Skin Food

Very nice shave - smooth, no cuts / irritation. Love the Rose cream. The brush, strop, CSF - all are pleasure to use.

Razors:

• Helje is nice, but not as nice as I remember. Maybe dulled a bit from just sitting? 9+ / 10
• Brockton is about 9+ / 10 too
• Wilbert felt smooth but only used for 2nd pass when almost nothing was left so can't say really

Cheers
Ivo
