After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage Marshall Fields silvertip
1958 Executive/Feather
Surrey SS (pre VDH reformulation)
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Caron 'Yatagan' EdT

Shaved with an excellent soap this morning. I believe this is an earlier version of the Surrey I normally use. The puck is small, but creates a lovely lather in all respects.

BBS results,

Martin

PC moved tazz's post but also his thread title. Nice if that could be changed as well, otherwise we'll have a new thread tomorrow anyway. :)

I have a Simpsons Special (which is what you have there, I believe) and it was my first badger brush. From day one it shed 1-2 hairs/shave, but it still performs okay.

Thanks for that word of encouragement Ian. Maybe its a one off!

Re: shave of the day friday the 18th

Mick --- cleaned it up good enough to shave after bio and scrubbing. I'll send to you tomorrow but I had to clean it at least before I shipped it. Needs detail work now. This soap is good both face and bowl lathering and the small brush and brass travel case was $6 in Thompson, Il. Good brush; it's now my travel brush. Could a Wee Scot be smaller?

Soap Opera soap is highly recommended. I'll include a puck of this Himalaya, a Feather and an Iridium Super for you to compare. Regards/Robert
