Much of the usual stuff for me. This Wilkinson Sword soap is taking a long time to work through, but I love the smell and the price. Never had much luck with it in a bowl, but I usually face lather anyway and it works well for that if it's well wetted and the brush is relatively dry.

The R41 Twist and Shark SS performed as perfectly as ever. The Brut smells smashing!

SOTD February 28. 2023.

Last day of Fat February.

Razor - Feather AS-D1
Blade - Feather Hi Stainless
Soap - Mitchell's wool fat
Brush - Zenith unbleached boar
Bowl - Capitans Choice - Copper.
Post - Refinery ASB
Frag - Old Spice AS

The Feather AS-D1 was dropped from production ten years ago and the AS-D2 was born.
A lot of people think this razor is just too mild to get a decent shave out of it, they are wrong!
Fit a Feather blade and find the angle and it will take down 3 or 4 days of growth with ease.
The Mitchell's wool fat was great, a thick creamy lather was knocked up in no time at all and the shave was fabulous, I love this razor , I love all my Feather razors
The result was baby smooth skin which felt supple, as I would expect from the Fat and the Feather.

Until next time, stay safe and shave happy. :)

Razor: Leaf
Blade: Astra SP (2)
Brush: Kent H4 Best
Pre-Shave: Lacura Moisturising Face Wash
Lather: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
Aftershave: Hawkins & Brimble Balm
Additional Care: Witch Hazel

Last shave of Fat February and have thoroughly enjoyed using it (22 face shaves, 8 head shaves). Like others have said my skin feels fantastic and it is one of those soaps that you understand the more you use it. During the month I’ve found that for me my boars and Mühle Silvertip Fibre brushes seem to have got the best results. Definitely look forward to doing it again next year.

Should be Mitchells March to get more days out of it!
 
Bloody fine finish to Fat Feb!
Left my shave to later in the day at I've been super busy, got to 22:00 and I thought, blimey, better get the fat out!
Nearly 2 days worth seeing as I left it all day, so I got out the red tip and loaded it with a blue blade.
Fantastic shave. The MWF will be a regular choice!
Have a great one folks
