I’m fortunate to have a 12 razor shave rotation, one quarter of which are AC razors, and the remaining three quarters, DEs. I have many other razors in my collection, but none that I shave with as regularly as this dozen. Every razor in the rotation was selected for its ability to deliver a BBS, but in all honesty, none of the DEs deliver one as easily as my AC razors. My new SS RazoRock Hawk displaced my Gibbs Adjustable. It is now in the regular rotation.

Well, the jury is out on this new AC razor! The SS Hawk V3 is well into the winner’s column. It looks like part of a matching set with my @MrEE metal handled brush, and continues to shave like a dream with the Feather Super blade loaded. This morning I mixed my Feather Super clear gel with a dollop of Kapo Menthol Cream and 3 drops of M-Bomb. Evan’s Hybrid Badger/Boar brush whipped up an interesting translucent lather which very effectively moisturized my whiskers.

After my shower, and before lathering up, I began my shave with the usual cold water rinse. The Feather Super blade made quick work of my softened whiskers in the first WTG pass. Relathering with my Feather gel/Kapo cream combo for the second and final ATG pass, allowed for another effortless BBS with one minor weeper below my Adam’s Apple, which disappeared following the WH application. I feel clean, cool, smooth and refreshed, and ready for another TR6 ride this afternoon! Stay safe and healthy out there!
