Saturday 24th March

RSC Facial Scrub
Olive Oil Soap
Culmak Soap
Omega 10065 Boar Brush
Ming Shi 2000S with a Dorco Titan Blade (3 and 5)
Alum Block and Rinse
Floid (The Genuine) AS

After yesterday's bloodbath I delayed my shave until this afternoon. The facial scrub 'sandpapered' my face and I used an adjustable so as not to reopen old wounds! My nearest and dearest is away overnight on a girly reunion ....so its a beer and burger night for me

Three passes for a BBS and bloodless shave!

Georgetown Pottery G12 scuttle (Green Oribe & Purple)
Rooney 3/3 Porcelain Finest (26/59)
Houbigant Fougère Royale shaving soap (vintage)
Delta Echo Black Chrome-Nickel Feather AS-D2/Triad Satin Aristocrat
Personna 74 Tungsten (10)
Houbigant Fougère Royale aftershave (vintage)

The porcelain brush has a little more density and backbone than my other 3/3 brushes, making it even better for the hard soap.
 

That's a class set up B. - welcome to Chubb Club - the first rule? We do talk about it. As discussed elsewhere - in my experience - the knot will change over time - my own went from bulb out the box to pretty much a fan now. It always made me wonder - is anybodies' face big enough to use the 3? I have a couple of the 30mm Masetos - a comparable knot - but somehow the Simpsons just have more class. I guess - at the price - they ought to have. A bit of mock Aventus splash - the RazoRock Emperor is also good for me - the Fine probably just edges it out - and then the real thing. Nice. yours - I.

Thanks Iain. Of course, as I'm sure you're fully aware, it's your fault that I bought the Chubby in the first place. But your right mate, it's a classy bit of kit.

A very late shave today. Will last for the weekend as I'm not 'socialising'. As I've had to use a cartridge recently and the same on Monday (Wilkinson Hydro 5 - not bad at all) because of early work starts, it seemed a good opportunity to use a Treet carbon steel 'one hit wonder'. It actually gave a very satisfying two pass DFS.​
