Great picture, it's a shame the o rings didn't work for your brush but all is not lost. Keep warm.

Thanks very much Paul.

SOTD Monday 21st November 2016

Pass around Merkur 37c

Razor..Merkur 37c
Blade..Lodz Polsilver #2
Soap..MWF
Brush..Semogue 1305
Post..Thayers Lavender AF witch hazel
EDT..Acqua Classica by Borsari

A good shave was had, the blade was sharp and very smooth and the MWF gave me plenty of slick protective lather but again I couldn't really detect that I was using a slant, there was nothing extra there that I wouldn't have got off any DE razor using the same blade. The brush performed fantasticly with the MWF and soon whipped up a great lather. Next time I may shave one side with this slant and the other with my ATT S2 and see if there is a marked difference .

Wishing you well, Auf Wiedersehen.

Alum Rub/Rinse off
Tuff Green A/S Lotion

Early days yet with an E2, which is often described as an aggressive razor. Personally I would describe the shave as Harsh but effective , as the finished shave was very close. Will persevere with it, and see if I get a more comfortable shave with a different blade.

Yes, I think you hit the nail on the head, Harsh but effective, I certainly had to use the lightest of touches, but what a beaut of a razor!

A great shave this morning was a perfect way to start the week. Route 66 soaps are easy to lather and with the CH2 the lather just exploded. I really enjoy the residual slickness of Route 66 soaps as well. After 3 passes and minimal touch ups, I ended with a near BBS. On a Monday morning I just did not feel up to chasing the baby. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

That's very funny Clint, I've never heard the expression " chasing the baby" nice kit too.

This morning's shave: tried out Fine Green Vetiver AS...

Pre: Glyce soap wash + Proraso Green pre-shave
Shave: Bloom's Le Baigneur À Barbe N01 shaving soap (Aloe vera, Hemp and Vetiver), Cadman custom brush, EJ89/Braveheart hybrid + Nacet
Post: Wright's coal tar soap wash, cold rinse, witch hazel splash, Fine 'Green Vetiver' AS, GFT West Indian Limes Skin Food

Really nice, comfortable shave and the Green Vetiver splash has a really nice 'grassy' sort of scent to it...very 'green' indeed!

Enjoy your week all
