SOTN 22-01-17
Williams and Arko Soap
Bristle Brush Van Der Hagen
Nippon craft razor 6/8
After shave La Toja
I obtained excellent foam, with this brush that does not loose hair as frequently mentioned of the mark. The craftsman razor made with Hamon technique, is a beauty and has a precise and smooth cut. A little abandoned the after, I was in the corner, I always enjoy it very much. I slept like a baby.

It's put me off using it TBH Stephen, it's the only soap I've ever had a problem with.

I did read somewhere that early batches allegedly weren't allowed to cure as long as they should have been; perhaps we've just been unlucky. I didn't have a problem this morning; but granted, it has gone down slightly in my estimation compared to, say, Wickhams 1912 and the OSPs. I still enjoy the mainstream ones though; Tabac, Cella, The Fat and Proraso et al. Spoiled for choice
 

I can see why. I've placed an order with Victoria at Little Wren Pottery http://www.littlewrenpottery.co.uk/ for a shaving bowl. It should be ready in a couple weeks.
Glad you are feeling better.

After 3 days of not being able to shave because of having carotid artery surgery, I was able to get back to it this morning. I'll only be able to shave my chin and cheeks for the next week or so, but that's better than not at all. And a hot shower felt great.
