Greetings,

A new shave set up to start the weekend. When i first started to use MWF i struggled to get a good lather. However, once i realised you just load it up with a damp brush, add water to the tips of the brush in between each pass and hey presto it creates an acceptable slick lather....."Being on a over zealous quest to achieve perfection from any shaving soap or any shaving item as a matter of fact is pointless IMHO".. Some shaving soaps and creams work better than others but all create an acceptable lather with a little effort & patience...Now i absolutely love MWF.

The Dorco Prime Platinum paired together with the Parker Variant wonderfully making a smooth efficient duo.

A enjoyable close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Cien Sensitive ASB.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine. ;)

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen. :cool:

Soap Van Yulay Puros La Habana
Brush Yaqi 26mm Moka Express
Razor Wade & Butcher 13/16 Wedge
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Clubman Whiskey Woods
A wonderfully aromatic cigarish scented soap! Today's lather was creamy and slick enough...very enjoyable!
Today's shave with this excellent antique razor was good enough in 3passes for a dfs/ccs result. I like the hefty and solid feel with a smooth and comfortable edge. The aftershaves were just as good.

Wild Hog Boar - Cella Bio - Wilkinson Sword Classic/Treet New Steel - Pinaud Lilac Vegetal

This was the first DE I ever owned. I used it before I discovered the Internet and 'fell down the rabbit hole'. It's cheap....doesn't look like much....but it gives a great shave.
3 passes for an excellent result :)

Brush: PAA Phantom
Soap: B&M Reserve Spice
Razor: Blackland Era (5)
Blade: GSB (1)
Post: B&M Reserve Spice

Travel shave this morning, back over home way (Yorkshire), better than my last attempt over here. Nice smooth running, lather could do with a little more work but at least my face wasn't on fire afterwards!

Out and about in York for the day/night with the Mrs, the little one palmed off on the grandma, should be a grand day.

Hope everyone has a good kick off to the weekend!

Cheers

Marc

Razor: Blackland Blackbird
Blade: Voskhod Teflon Coated, 1st use
Brush: Yaqi Freedom Italian Flag 24mm Cashmere
Bowl: Captains Choice Copper Lather Bowl Standard Bowl
Preshave: PAA Cube Unscented Soap
Soap: Wickham’s 1912 Citrus Musk Puck
Aftershave: PAA Future Fiction Cologne
Balm: Bart’s Balm Sample Balm
Additional Care: Osma Laboratoires Alum Block

Closest shave in weeks! Everything was spot on from the razor to the soap. I’m not normally a fan of lightly scented soaps but this just works perfectly for the Wickhams. A great start to the weekend and I can’t wait for the arrival of the Bandit pass around to run through its paces. Add to that I’m not getting a mattress now it means I can get a Hone or Vector as a belated pressie to me.
