Razor: Rolls Razor
Soap: NanaJune's Bayrum
Brush: Vie-Long 16728



Shake 3x. 30 sec. 1min12. 4 pass. Thick

This is one failing of Badger especially those of fine silky soft tips and smooth strands would benefit from such method. This brush however is not silk-like at all. There's good amount of scrub. Spine is not overly stiff stupid stiff like Simpsons. Good springrate. It's not lather hog either. Lather is distributed very well throughout the shave. It's well worth the investment. $649 Plisson yeah....I'll pass on that one and order an army of Boars or in this case Vie-Long instead.
 
Only a fool would claim to not know the 2211's release. But then again there's a reason why they say ignorance is bliss don't they?

Even if one were to skim through the posts out of 5 posters there's at least 3 that have 2211. But you wouldn't know I posted this because you don't even skim the SOTD but post your gaudy pictures and worthless plug-in for your measly site Mr. Smogue.

I love you too,Ivan!I knew about the release of the NF 2211,but I didn't buy one,and I now regret it.And as you see,I do read what other people post here and in other threads.
Call me fool or whatever you want,mate,if that makes you feel better,but it seems that cant or want overcome certain things,but thats up to you.
Have a great Christmas and God bless you and your family.
 
Monday 20th December (Evening)

Cella - New Forest 2211 - Gillette Fatboy - Gillette 7 o'clock Yellow (4) - Proraso AS - Proraso Pre/Post

I don't normally go to a fourth shave with the same blade but I only had a one pass shave yesterday morning so risked it. Went okay although my face was a bit irritated towards the end hence the Proraso Post treatment which sorted it out. Probably due to shaving twice in the same day, but I knew I didn't have time to shave this morning.
 
Tuesday

Trumper Razor
Shark Super Chrome Blade
New Forest 2201 Brush*
Erasmic Shave Stick**
Alum
L'Occitane Aftershave Balm

*Just so that Ivan knows. I knew the 2211 was available, but didn't buy one.

**The tallow version of the Erasmic stick. Bought from a local Co-op pharmacy. These seem to get some stick (no pun intended) regardless of formulation, but I have no issue with the lather or the scent. Works great!
