    QCS Key Lime - Zebrawood Silvertip - Zebrawood Bowl - Rolls Razor - Myrsol Agua De Limon


    Day 3 with this Rolls Razor blade and after yesterdays shave I decided to try make it more comfortable by doing some honing on a barbers hone after the Rolls Razor hone. So, did it work?

    Not really. Any increase in comfort was negligible. I think the jump between the Rolls Razor hone and the barbers hone may have been too great. That being said it still gave me a nice shave and if all I had was the Rolls Razor hone I could get by with it. I'm just after a little more comfort.

    Anyway, for tomorrow I'll try out a honing the blade on some lapping film and see if it gets more comfortable.

    Really like the Zebra wood. I have to shave with a Rolls one day.....when I get the nerve.

    Pre: Hot Shower
    Soap: D.R.Harris Arlington
    Brush: Panchetta 30 mm Silvertip
    Scuttle: SWK XL
    Razor: c.a. 1850 W&B "Celebrated India Steel" -- Max Sprecher Restoration
    Strop: 3" Black Latigo Bench Top
    Post: Alum Block
    AS: Pinaud Clubman

    Happy Thursday everyone! Busy today, but kept the morning relaxing with a great shave. Pulled the Arlington from the back of the drawer. I'm not sure why I don't use this wonderful citrus scent soap more often. Whipped a fantastic scuttle full of lather and had a wonderful three pass shave. I love this big, wide chopper. It has a very unique monkey tail and I can always count on it for a great shave. Hang in there guys, it's almost the weekend. Stay safe my friends.

    Prep: AoS Unscented shave soap
    Brush: AoS pure badger
    Soap: AoS Unscented shave soap
    Bowl: White Bowl from ¥100 store
    Razor 5/8 Dovo Carpe Diem with multiwood handles
    Strop: SRD 3in Black Latigo and poly webbing
    ASB: Gillette Fusion ProSeries intense cooling
    AS: Aqua Velva Ice Blue
    Shave: 2 pass WTG and XTG
    Results: Over all it was DFS the razor saved the day but I can't say too much about the soap I just felt it wasn't pullin it's weight during he shave. I didn't do anything different but there was some razor burn. The cusion just wasn't there. I'll give it another go and it may just go and keep A Rod company on the bench.
    Worked out with my flight 1 mile run then 5minutes of tabata. Then some Ultimate football too blow of some steam.
