Menthol Monday's ShaveCold Water Rinse Fine Snake Bite Shave Soap Jayaruh #18 Silvertip RazoRock Black Hawk Feather Professional CWR Osage Rub My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Fine Snake Bite Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #18 Silvertip brush. I did two passes with the RazoRock Black Hawk razor with a Feather Professional blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... This is the finest "modern" razor I own. It provides a quick, smooth, and effecient shave. No nicks, cuts, or abrasions. +10

July 29th -- Today was a Menthol Micromatic Monday shave with a "bumpless" Micromatic (along with an unmentionable, which from here on out will not be mentioned). Also first use of the LEA Menthol cream, and it is AWESOME!!! It's quick & easy to use and produces voluminous lather....much like my other favorite LEA cream (Professional). It was a close 2-pass shave with a finish of Krampert's Frostbite. Micromatics are just excellent razors (either with or without bumps).

Tues 30th July Vulfix 404 mixed- The Grosvenor Vitos Super Red Occams V2 / No3 aggressive plate Schick Proline [ 1 ] Jaguar Prestige A/S lotion Had a not very good Shave with the Occams yesterday, as obviously the blade had failed at 9. My Broadband was down for 30 +hours, so to while away some time changed the Plates on the Razor. Not a problem provided the Philps No1 driver has a decent handle. A lot more blade feel with a No3 plate, and though all went well on the cheeks and neck, I got a weeper on the chin. In hind sight a milder blade as suggested by the maker would have been a good idea.

Menthol Monday's ShaveRazoRock Black Hawk I did two passes with the RazoRock Black Hawk razor with a Feather Professional blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... This is the finest "modern" razor I own. It provides a quick, smooth, and effecient shave. No nicks, cuts, or abrasions. +10 I have the silver aluminum and I will say it's my best modern SE as well. I like it over the Supply Injector which I sent back and the OneBlade which I will send back. I learned it pretty well during my month of Williams. I used the Hawk for probably at least half of those shaves. I will also say Razorock makes some wonderful items and at attractive prices compared to some of the newly manufactured razors.
