I’d previously said I did not enjoy Lanolin in soaps. I take it all back - that must have just been something specific to a ‘waxy’ post shave feel with Haslinger. Fulfilled a long standing wish thanks to @Angioino and finally tried MWF. I loved it. As it was a sample, I used a bowl and it created huge amount of thick, cushioning, slick lather for a really enjoyable shave. I liked everything about it including the subtle scent. Tragedy that this is no longer made, especially as it used to be made just down the road from me. Don’t want to go overboard but easy to see why it has such a following. If anyone has some stockpiled and wants to sell some for an inflated price….pls take my money

Kesabella Aleppo Soap - 70% Laurel

Razorock Hawk V3A with Razorine Handle
Feather Pro Super
Mitchell’s Wool Fat
Highlander Matt Carbon Tuxedo

TGS Witch Hazel
Boots No 7 Balm
Botanici Di Limona EDP

Also @gile - I don’t tend to use my synthetics that much, but this is such a good brush. I like the knot but the ergonomics just work so well for me with this esp if bowl lathering. Thanks, again

Wolf Whiskers Wayno 24mm SHD Reknot
Karve Overlander
Polsilver Łódź (4)
OSP Neroli
Thayer’s cucumber witch hazel

Loaded with a fresh Łódź blade the ensuing shave was simply perfect.
Fantastic lather from the OSP soap, which produced a very satisfying greasy shine,
and a superb post shave finish.

Wonderful. Enjoy yours chaps.
 
Thursday late shave…

The Gillette Yellow has done well with 4 shaves now but it’s losing its touch so I’ll swap it out next shave. Red Cella tonight produced a very nice lather indeed for the Merkur 34C to do its thing. I really like this razor now. It’s becoming a real workhorse. Again, no alum block tonight so finished off with a bit of a Nivea.

Tonight’s music for the shave was Gabriel’s Oboe from The Mission. If you haven’t heard this before, then it’s worth a listen. It’s definitely in my top 5 so far.


Night all…
