An early Morning Sunday shave while Mrs TC is having a lie in, Up today is the 1936 Stainless Rolls Razor with original blade. on standby i have the Rocnel 316 SE-P.
A wonderful lather today with the scent still lingering as i write this, i will finish off my post shave with the balm and splash a little later as i don't want to disturb the Darlin'.
So, 2 passes WTG and XTG with the little Rolls, however, it was starting to pull a bit towards the end of the XTG pass, after a rinse off i was happy with the result although those pesky stubborn areas i could still feel on the finger-tip smoothness test. 
I had the lather and the "TMDFRITW"  Rocnel  SE-P on hand so i completed a buffing pass to finish off. That's better.
A cold water rinse and a rub of witch Hazel to finish off in the bathroom.
I have cleaned and dried off the rolls and completed a touch up on the blade, 25 laps on the stone and 50 on the leather to freshen the edge. 
I really enjoyed that from the wonderful soap through to the witch hazel rub. Using these old razors really makes me smile.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
