Pre shave: Hot shower and Neutrogena glycerin soap bar
Razor: Gillette Rocket HD No. 59
Blade: Personna GEM PDG (15)
Brush: Yaqi Sigrada Familia 24mm synthetic
Bowl: Captains choice copper
Soap: Noble Otter neon sun
Post shave: Noble Otter neon sun aftershave splash

Today was the first time using this razor.
It's a heavy wee bugger but very well balanced which makes for easy, light passes.

It's a bit more aggressive than Gillettes usual middle of the road, goldie locks range which i wasn't expecting, not high setting Gillette adjustable aggressive but enough to notice.
But at the same time, it's very efficient and smooth.
As with other rockets I've tried, the mechanism feels really solid, giving a real feeling of heft to the razor.

Noble otters neon sun lather proved to be the perfect companion with its great cushion and glide.
And the aftershave splash finished it off with immediate soothing and a great scent boost.

Happy shaves, everyone!
