Brush: Frank Shaving 20mm Best Badger
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat (sample)
Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic
Blade: Tiger Superior Stainless (2)

I'm sure I read somewhere that Mitchell's Wool Fat struggled in hard water areas. Mine isn't the hardest (missus!), but it's certainly not soft (matron!). I'm not sure if it's because shavedash supply the soap as shavings off the cake thereby increasing the surface area, but this lathered if anything quicker than the Phoenix and Beau soap I've been using lately. There was no scent I could detect, but then my sense of smell isn't the greatest. The lather was great, though.

I'm still loving this blade, and for the second day the second pass was more about using up the lather already on the brush than any necessity.

Happy shaving, all.

Shaving recipe for today.


Prep: Warm shower:/ Imperial Leather ~ Sea minerals & Black Mint Shower Gel.


Pre:

warm wet flannel to my face.

Pears ~ Transparent Glycerin Soap.

Brush: Semogue 1470.

Bowl Lather.

Cream : Arko ~ Sensitive.

Blade: Bluebird Platinum.(3)

Razor: Merkur 37C.

Warm wet flannel/ cold wet flannel to rinse my face.

Post:

Alum Block./Cold Water Face Rinse./ Homemade Lime, Lemon+Peppermint Oil Witch Hazel Mixture./The Real Shaving Co.~ Post Shave Soothing Balm.

Arko ~ Cool cologne.

Greetings,

The 37C /B.P. duo wasn't the best i've had, the blade was starting to lose it's smoothness, ok the blade was on it's third outing but it did feel rough throughout the shave.. The arko sensitive cream provided me with a superb lather for the shave, which made up for the performance of the blade, leaving a nice post shave feeling to my face.

A very average 3 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Arko ~Cool Cologne.

Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

I remembered to restrict loading time on the Vreto but still ended up with enough lather to see Karl Marx clean shaved. Superb stuff. Have a good day gents.
 
Tue 19th June

Vulfix 404 mixed
MWF
ES Claymore V1 + Windrose Handle
Schick Proline [ 2 ]
Pitralon Original A/S Lotion

I really am getting good Shaves from the rather little known Claymore, since I settled on pairing it up with this specific Windrose Handle. Though perhaps not as sleek as other offering, I find that
it works very well on the upper lip/chin and along the jawline. Another really good Shave. probably get my comeuppance in a strange bathroom tomorrow.
