PARADIGM :: PALADIN :: SAPONIFICIO VARESINO :: B&M CLASSIC

Test driving new handles for the Tech (7075 aluminum), beard, and Shovelhead (Star DE), head. I don't understand why standard practice is to use massive stainless steel handles with the aluminum Tech. These both work great.

That is a gorgeous brush. I bet it looks even better in person!

Thanks , it's a nice colour, not too pink for me. She is still very much in the breaking in phase so time will tell if i hold on to he or not.

Be sure to let me know if you decide to move on!

Haha , it was in danger but I think the knot is starting to yield just a bit now but I'll keep you in mind :-)

Date: 10 June 2017

Brush: - Semogue 2000 25/60mm
Cream/Soap: - Stirling Island Man
Razor: - Rockwell 6C - R4 base plate
Blade: - Astra Superior Platinum
Post: - Thayers Witch Hazel 'Lemon' / Bulldog Original Aftershave Balm

I've borrow my brother new Rockwell 6C the new chrome version and is lighter than the Rockwell 6s stainless steel version and the balance in my hand is almost perfect without any issue, I went straight to plate R4 using the Astra SP blade both combination shave perfectly well and pretty smooth throughout the whole shave without any nicks, cuts and irritation. I strongly prefer my Colonial General aluminum head which has a far better performance than the Rockwell, because Colonial General aluminum head gives me the most smoothest and closest shave similar to a Muhle R41 without any further irritation.

I"m going back to my General in my next shave sorry Rockwell.
