Mama Bears Mysore Sandalwood (sample)
Paradigm Diamondback
Treet Black Beauty (1)
Humprey’s Astringent
Myrsol Formula Extra + Emulsion
The soaps of Mama Bears are among my best. However great was the disappointment this morning when I used this sample. The scent is a straight forward Sandalwood. I like that. However, it felt terrible on my face. So a red and burning face is my part now. Even the Paradigm could not entirely compensate that. Don’t know where the irritation is caused by. Have a good weekend!

Cinnamon in there, maybe? Multiple shavers' skin reacts all wrong to it.

My 26 mm. silvertip D01 has already been given a new bun twice because of hair loss and now this one is a fairly new 28 mm. 2 bander brush that falls apart when cleaning.
There may be a bad one in between but of the three Shavemac's there are now two very weak brothers and that gives serious thought.

My little girl has chicken pocks so we are having what she calls a chill day, we are staying at home and she wants to watch cartoons, so time for me to have a nice relaxing shave.
Normally i do not use a pres have but this is one of the few i have so why not use it.

That is not stated in the scent description, but it had a bit Spicey scent. So maybe that was cinnamon.

Last shave before Christmas (21.12.2019)
Pre-Shave: Coconut Oil
Razor: Rockwell 6S
Blade: Rockwell / Polsilver Super Iridium On Plate 3
Soap: Phoenix and Beau Spitfire
Brush: RazoRock Barber 24mm
Aftershave: Phoenix and Beau Spitfire
Maaaaan, what a fantastic shave. What a fantastic shaver this Rockwell 6S is...
First of all i washed my face with hot water, so my whiskers could soften up. After 5 minutes of hot water, i applied Coconut Oil as a Pre-Shave. I've heared many good things about it as a Pre-Shave and have not been disapointed.
I let it soak in for about 2 minutes and meanwhile i lathered up this truly wonderful soap. It smells SO good...
For me personally, i found the lather better, richer when applied on Coconut Oil. What surprised me the most, was the glide. Not that this soap hasn't a fantastic glide itself, but wow...that was impressing.
First few strokes with the Rockwell blade were ok, but by far not what i expected or wanted. So, i changed to my trusted Polsilver Super Iridium and man, what a difference a blade makes.
This blade is stunning in this razor. After the first pass has been finished, i lathered up for the second pass (across the grain). Very very nice.
The third pass (against the grain) was out of this world. So gentle and the smoothest pass i've had for a very long time. Only the Karve is in the same area as the Rockwell 6S.
A very impressing razor, which gave me a fantastic shave. A razor, which i would definetly take with me on a lonesome Island.
Very glad i bought it.
Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and take care.
