Pre: Pears Original Transparent
Brush: Vintage Vulfix Service #3
Soap: Palmolive stick/Mac root S-Lather (potted).
Blade: Astra SP (6)
Razor: Rockwell 6S - R2
Post shave: Alum Block, cold water splash, homemade Witch Hazel Lavender/lime/Tea tree/lime/patchouli/ Eucalyptus astringen,
Balm: E45
Aftershave: Floid SE Mentolado Vigaroso.
Breaking in the Vulfix Vintage I decided to go for a bowl lather. As I pressed the Palmolive stick into a nearly empty tub of Maca root (about 5mm deep) I will class this as superlather. Added glycerine and oils and made a nice slick lather.
The 2 plate is very mild, a 2 pass shave looks ok, however, to the touch my chin is like very light sand paper. The 6S is cleaned and stored until next up.
Nothing at all from Alum block and a nice comfortable face.
A dollop of E45 and a splash of FMV and I am a happyish man.
It will do for tonight kind of shave.
Have a great night All.
