15 May

Mitchell’s Wool Fat
Simpson Duke 3
Rockwell 6S
Feather Hi-Stainless
Village Barber balm
Dior Sauvage


​

The new formula, non-tallow, Wool Fat with the synthetic Duke 3 produced a knockout face lather this morning. Plentiful? It was falling off the brush . A great, close, two pass shave with the Rockwell and the R4 plate following a decision to use my favourite gear much more often in future.

First shave ever with Lea. Very impressed. It must've been cheap (because I bought it!) but it left my face feeling really fresh without being overly mentholly.

Lather - Lea

Only used Plate 1 once when I first got the Stinger and thought I would break it out and see why I never use it.
It's very mild but makes a superb daily driver, I have a beautiful bbs finish.
So don't really know why it is not used more often *shrugs*
Enjoy the day.

Mergress - Treet Classic carbon - Simpson Case pure - DR Harris Arlington - witch hazel - Vitos tobacco - DVH balm - VR Spice Bomb.

Lovely relaxed warm day shave - it took me a while to appreciate the humble Simpson Case in pure badger. For face-lathering with a hard soap it excels, the diminutive 19 mm knot is precise. It's better for this sort of use than most of the two-bands I own, at three times the price. Granted, the knot takes a while to break in properly - it was a wee bit 'prickly' at first but that gave way to a very pleasant 'scritch' - excellent exfoliation. Fab.
Enjoy yours - cheers - I.

Aah me hearty’s Captain Pugwash of my childhood, Roger the Cabin boy, Seaman Staines, Master Bates, oh what a laugh!

I’m sure Roger the cabin boy was a myth.
The character was Tom the cabin boy although Roger does have a better ring to it
excuse the pun

Aah me hearty’s Captain Pugwash of my childhood, Roger the Cabin boy, Seaman Staines, Master Bates, oh what a laugh!

Do you know what? In all my years at sea I have actually sailed with Seaman Staines (and probably worn the same), and my physics teacher as an apprentice was Master Bates. He took great pride with his name and an utterly bizarre chap. I will say though I have never rodgered the cabin boy. I do have ethics.

In Mexico the onboard doctors name was Doctora Ruth Ellis Zamora (she had no idea who Ruth Ellis was) and I still have a friend to this day who is Captain Lightening.

Probably a few other oddities down the years. Including myself.
