Great shave today, first use of my "Heavyweight" ER C40 brush restored by Rich (Midas) and first use of Wickham Super Smooth, I'm very impressed with both of them.
Finally got the hang of the 1924 and finished with Osage Rub, if you think Alcolado Glacial is cold try this..

There was however a casualty during the shave...

Didn't grip the brush tightly enough, slipped out of my hand and BANG there goes my bowl..

Mental note, use less weight next time........

Sorry to hear that. The Japanese have a method of repair that is simply stunning...Kintsugi.
