Monday Afternoon
Prep: hot shower
Razor: Merkur head, Weber classic handle
Blade:NOS English Wilkie gold 5 (2)
Brush: Vintage Butterscotch Silvertip, unknown make
Soap: MWF, first pass. Nanny's Vetyver 2/3 pass
A/S:Barbershop bay rum,
Balm: Mennen Afta
EDT: Trumpers Eucris
Bit of a test today. Have a handle to re knot and want to get it right. Tested the vintage brush with 59mm loft, it is soft as silk, but lathers MWF and Nanny's soft soap with ease.
Merkur never let's me down, the NOS Wilkie (thanks Steve Sunbury) is such a smooth forgiving blade, I even tried Mantics polishing technique without any irritation.
BBS shave today, no sting from the wonderful Bay Rum, the Mennen is a fantastic balm (thanks Trainman) I see it is available from Amazon £16 for two bottles.
Eucris has a superb smell, all in all a good day at the sink!
