A really good shave this morning with The General by @Colonial Razors
Also cleaned up and used the Saybrooke brush for the first time and it performed really well

Nice pic, I like to do the shoeshine pass with my ASD2, works a treat.
 
SOTD - Juli 26
Pre: Shower and NSS Old Grey Bristle Test Coconut Milk Pre Shave Soap
Razor: USA 1912 Ever Ready
Blade: GEM (6)
Brush: HJM Pure Bristle
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat

A great shave today with my 1912. Still impressed with it. The shave was smooth, close and effortless. The lather of MWF was superb, giving me good protection and glide. 3 passes and BBS result.

Georgetown Pottery G12 scuttle
Shavemac Plexi 2-Band Silvertip (24mm/50mm)
Pecksniff's Aromatic Chypre shaving soap
Feather AS-D2/Triad Satin Hexagon Helix
Wilkinson Light Brigade (3)
Azzaro aftershave

The Pecksniff's soap has a pleasant but somewhat faint fragrance that is green and damp. The soap produced lather easily, but the lather was somewhat thin, not rich or creamy at all, although its cushion and glide were adequate.

Your ASD2 head looks fab with that handle.
 
And for today the theme was 'Muhle, Murdock's and mistakes'

ATT colossus/Muhle R89 Braveheart/Feather
Muhle synthetic
Murdock's shaving cream
Maison Martin Kurkdjian Acqua Vitae Forte (EDP)
Mexican cereal bowl

(no socks or cuddly toys included)



Started off with the full intention of a shave entirely made from products starting with the letter 'M', but didn't take long for me to realise this was not a Muhle R89 but a Braveheart head. The big give-away being the feedback from the Braveheart is awesome and probably the noisiest razor in the collection. It continues to shred hairs which have long been removed, or at least the feedback gives this impression.

Murdock cream? A lather made in heaven

The scent of the MMKAVF just goes on and on and on, all day and all night. Fragrance wise, just summer perfect which is more than I can say for the summer itself.

A smooth operator shave if ever.

Acqua Vitae Forte Is definitely on my 'To Sample' list @Satanfriendly
