Razor: Rolls Razor Imperial 2
Brush: Omega 599
Cream: Prairie-Creation JDM Cherry Blossom



Wring 2x. 1min 55. Within 40 sec dried after 1st pass. 3 passes.
Post-shave moisturised and smooth.

Thing about this brush. I wouldn't call it flaccid. It's very much like Vie-Long it's dense alright it splays (outwards) when it needs too but it's not moppy at all. One thing for sure you can lather all day and not realise time's gone by. It's not scrubby but very soft tips.

Razor: Rolls Razor
Brush: Omega 599
Cream: TOBS Sandalwood



Wring 3x. 5min 23. 6 pass. Rework 1, 2, 4, 5. Texture of cream was hard kept falling off while trying to work in lather. 2min in lather formed.
Post-shave smooth as can be sans moisturiser.

Razor: Rolls Razor Imperial 2
Brush: Omega 599
Soap: Col. Conk Bayrum



Wring 3x. 45 sec. 1min 52. 21 pass. 9 pass abrade lower neck; 12 pass abrade upper lip 16 pass thinned. Brush is ever so gently and silky smooth. Before you know it an hour has gone by.

Midnight shave. Who knew loading this for a minute would yield 20+ passes. In hindsight, 30-45 seconds would have sufficed.

My face hurts. This didn't happen before when I used Ginger's Garden soap and it was 25 passes thereabouts. Perhaps lathering for an hour or so didn't help. But if I were to guess that's probably same amount of time it took me with Ginger soap. Only thing I can think of is Col Conk's soap. Now if I had ended it with 2-pass and once over this wouldn't have happened. Instead as usual I continue to work the lather and wipe off until it is reduced to nothingness.

When will I ever learn

I was suppose to continue the review of a DE blade but out of habit I started shaving with the SE and forgot about it. Oh well maybe tonight I can get back around to the DE :PLOL

• Prep: Noxzema Skin Cream & Hot Towel
  
• Brush: Knotty Roddy Refurb with TGN Silvertip Badger Knot
  
• Cream: SCS Avocado Oil
  
• Razor: 1912 GEM with fat black handle
  
• Blade: Ted Pella PTFE coated GEM SE (shave 2)
  
• A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel Toner & SCS Avocado Oil ASM
  
• EDT: TSD Old Spice Type
  
  
• Result: Very nice and comfortable DFS today. Not going anywhere particularly important so I did not go for BBS. This was the last of the SCS Avocado cream. Had some trouble making a good lather on the face. Had to actually wipe off the lather and then start all over again in my mug. Did get enough for 3 decent passes then.

Razor: Rolls Razor
Brush: Omega 599
Soap: Figaro



Wring 3x. Load 30sec. 33 sec lather exploded. 1min 15. Dried within seconds. Rework 1st. 6 pass thinned. 9 pass. Thick lather but lacked cushion.

Face hurt again. I don't think it had anything to do with soap. Much less the Col. Conk the other day either. I knew it had to be me gliding Rolls over those sections.
