    • Brush: RazoRock 400 Noir SE 24 mm
    • Razor: RazoRock Gamechanger 0.84 OC w/ Superknurl handle
    • Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum
    • Lather: Barrister & Mann- Le Grand Chypre
    • Post-Shave: Osma alum block; OAM witch hazel & cucumber toner

    -> 1 pass head shave. Was the OC razor way more eager to cut than the Cyber? Yeah! Was it too eager? Unfortunately yeah too. Had a big weeper on the right side of my scalp, but alum and witch hazel fixed that.

    I wanted to join in on the LGC fun, somehow this Citrus Cola scent wasn’t what I was expecting reading those scent notes, but it is a damn fine soap. It’s in Omnibus already, so this shave was ultra slick despite me overhydrating the lather yet again.

    Two things that should probably go down the drain: today’s brush and the OC plate. While the handle is my all-time fav, I simply don’t like or need anything that aggressive anymore. Perhaps I can find a nice replacement head somewhere? The brush was used so much by me and it had a good run. Now, from all the swirling I do when lathering on my head, the inside fibers somehow developed splits and became tangled. Since I really love the Rubberset style handle, I should probably try to drill/steam the old knot out and replace it with something better. Also, I really want to get away from too much RazoRock stuff in my den. It’s very affordable at a good quality, but it sure has its shortcomings. Anyway, have a nice day/evening!
