Beautiful combination that reminds me of the South of Spain. The Alhambra feels amazing, just like driving a sports car around a twisty road: firm on the grip, nicely balanced and super responsive.

Since my last post I snuck in another road shave which included my Mergress, Stirling Sharp Dressed Man etc. Very nice yet uneventful as it should be. Back in the confines of Villa Somnos and today’s shave brought me to the Rockwell R1. Much maligned by many who claim it to be inefficient and the like. “I need a Fatboy on “9” to get a close shave” some say.  Well, loaded with a Personna Platinum today I figured I would revisit this one.

Soap or cream of the day really, the venerable Proraso Green which some how has eluded my grasp for awhile....(shhhh, that soap cabinet is deeper than Davy Jones’ Locker)...so it was found today and immediately put to service. Haven’t bowl lathered of late so it was very nice to grab the Fine Accruements lathering bowl and whip up a monster ton of lather. The 59 was my first Simpson and still a favourite. What a great scent...missed it!

So to work with the Rockwell R1 and through a wonderful three pass BBS shave! So now this one is a keeper and will most likely accompany me on the next vacay. No issues with efficiency here.

Friday my good friends, the weekend approaches! Have a great day, safe travels and happy shaves!
