Pre-shave; Warm shower, face rinse with MWF bar soap.
Brush; TroyCraft, “Red Desert” Supplejack timber, Brass plate/s, Red Earth Candy resin with fine Gold glitter handle and a 28mm (x TF), Pure Boar knot (Brush No 1a)
Soap; Washpool, No 2 (Lemongrass, Lime & Lemon Myrtle) in an original Franklin Toiletry Co 1976 Barbershop Mug. A TOP Aussie product, so is their No1 & 3 IMHO. Grail.
Razor; Gem Micromatic Open Comb (MMOC) 1937, as in a Maroon Streamline case.
Blade; Personna, GEM PTFE coated.
Post-shave; @SpeedyPC recipe 500mls, Wahl Traditional Bay Rum 500mls, Moroccan Argan Oil 100mls, Bay Essential Oil 25mls and Vit E 5mls (Mixed together) aftershave/moisturiser splash!! ‘’Superb’’
Cologne;
Moisturiser;
Attar (Perfume Oil);
Shave; Very nice shave, the MMOC is more aggressive and not as smooth and efficient as my Streamline but a pleasure to use. The soap and A/S, well (YMMV) but for DE, SE and Kamisori shaving the slickness, lather and post shave scent/moisturised skin is TOPS for me!!

J.A. Hellberg 6660 13/16 Frameback - C&H Elm 2-Band Finest - Eufros Aura de lavanda - Myrsol F./Extra - Sukin Moisturiser

This razor should be a terrible shaver: super light, flimsy, tang like a ribbon... But with a smoking JNat edge it is just incredible as you whip around your face with it. Lovely!

Friday Afternoon 7/2/2025

• Hot shower
• Razor : Blacklands Blackbird SS Satin finish.
• Blade : Wizamet. (1)
• Brush : Yaqi caramel cats whiskers synthetic.
• Soap : Proraso Cypress & Vetyver.
• Aftershave : Proraso Eucalyptus Menthol.
• Weight : 94 grams.

Hi all,
A top shave this afternoon with the Blackbird SS I purchased the razor on BST (thanks @Phil Harmonica ).
I am still quite new to modern razors and like all of us I have had heard all the hype about the Blackbird and some of it is true.
1 It gives a great close shave.
2 It's build quality is very good (I know nothing about CNC machining).
3 Is it the grail of razors I can't say.
It's a very good razor I enjoyed using the it and this was my first time using this razor.
I think it will only get better with more use.

Cheers.
