Brush looks good Brian, where did the knot come from? I can highly recommend the Silver tips from "The Turners Workshop"

This one came from the Golden Nib in the US. I have 2 more knotted with the Turners Workshop knots. Still finding what's best :icon_confused:

Final shave with the OSS before it goes to its new home. I'm going to miss that razor. Lovely 2.5 pass BBS. MdC lathered amazingly well (again).

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

Thanks Paul

Unfortunately the Woodhead pedestal bowl is ridged which makes creating great lather really easy. Another will have to be purchased at some point!
 
4 weeks without a shave.

Today I bought some Lanisoh HPA 100% Lanolin nipple cream.

I am currently wearing it on my beard.

Yeah, I know!

Just replaced my soup bowl for one of Steve Woodheads bowls, wished I had done it a long time ago. As you pointed out, the ridges really make it easy to create a lather. Combine this with a good soap and its easy to produce an explosion of lather, probably enough to shave the wife, kids and dog with one whip up!

Maybe ask Steve to put the bowl on a chain that will then go around your neck. Kinda like what those old ladies use to keep their glasses from dropping to the floor when they fall off their noses. Cackhanded old biddies.....

How bout selling one of your many Aristo types to fund the bowl. Yep, one of those razors would raise plenty with maybe a little left over. I mean after all, it's not like you collect em or anything.

Hehehehe.......I am kidding of course, since selling one would be like selling a kid. A kid that you liked.

EJ Preshave Lotion + GFT Skin Food Lime
EJ89 Plaza Black Marble w/ Feather
Simpson Colonel X2L Best
MWF + Cella
Steve Woodhead Small Scuttle
Simpson ASB + GFT Skin Food Lime

First time using the Cella and I was very impressed. It must be one of the best creams/soaps out there in the least appealing packaging. The scent is fantastic and is an absolute bargain.
