I have not used my OSP soaps for a while and after using the OSP splash yesterday, I thought, why not? A nice slick lather mixed up with the little Yaqi, enough for 5 passes, the last time I used the OSP I was using Boar brushes and I needed more soap loaded. I am just about a fully converted synth brush user.
The razor performed well again and the blade going still strong. 3 full passes and a bit buffing again to get the required BBS finish, however, I did graze my chin clearing my chin dimple, my fault not the razors, it was not a bleeder though.
The post shave helped sort that out, some minor indications from the block. and the same follow on as yesterday. All very nice.
Have a great evening All.

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney 3/1 Ivory Finest (22/44)
Harrods by Floris shaving soap (tallow)
Wolfman WR1-OC Half-Polished/UFO Goliath
Wilkinson 'Light Brigade' (23)
Floris Bay Rum aftershave (vintage)

A neuromuscular disorder makes it easier for me to use lightweight razor head-handle combinations, but the heavy Goliath certainly feels good, so I'll keep using it as long as I can. With the Wolfman it gave me a great shave.

I have not posted for a little while, in part because at very short notice, I lost one of my best friends.

My mate was a second Dad, if that makes sense; shaving was a mystery to him - bearded for most of his days. If I may intrude - if you think that something is up - something not quite right - for f@cks sake - get it checked out - there is f@ck all bonus points for toughing it out.

I may not have long for this world if SWMBO twigs that there are now 2 Pils razors in the den :) I could not resist adding the polished 101NL to the collection.

I have had some excellent shaves over the past few weeks; the Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellows are my favourite blade at the moment. I think I am enjoying these more than the Gillette Silver Blues.

The past weekend, SWMBO and I went off to the Edinburgh Fringe; had a good travel set-up with the Ikon Shave Craft 101, paired with a GSB and L'Occitane Cade Shaving Cream, followed off with Myrsol "Metilsol" Astringent.

All the best everyone, take care,

Chris
