MONDAY EVENING

Prep: Warm rinse
Brush: Simpson Tulip 2 Super
Cream: GFT coconut - scuttle lathered
Razor: Muhle R89 Jet
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium
Post: Witch hazel, GFT Sandalwood skin food

Very easy shave tonight. You can see why these R89's have such a good reputation.

Now, the question is what do I sell to raise funds for another Woodhead bowl? Wee Scott? One of my two Parats? Bar of Klar Kabinett? Hmm, more pondering required!

Paul,
If you're prone to dropping things then I can recommend this: http://www.aesop.com/uk/stainless-steel-bowl.html?utm_source=product_listing_ad&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=UK-Adwords&utm_term=aesop-stainless-steel-bowl&gclid=CIWxlMLU_bsCFYJP3godDA0A9w

A good size, nicely made and unbreakable (within domestic constraints!!!) Paul

Good shave, comfortable. Trying the custom brush today. On the test lathers the knot shed quite a lot of hairs :-/. This will be the 10th or so lathering for it and it looks to have calmed down with the shedding, fingers crossed :icon_rolleyes:
