Another really nice shave this morning, today using the Fatboy. 2 Passes WTG then ATG with a little touch up on the whirlpools for a smooth comfortable finish.
The MWF lather just seems to be getting better, i am not sure if it is because it is getting regular use so is not drying out too much, therefore easier to load? Could be wrong.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
 
Our thoughts are with you Chris, always.

Makes my day. Regards Brian

Brilliant relaxing 3 pass shave.
Finished work at 14.30 today with a face with more much than a coal miner.
i was caught in the rain which was icy chilly at six in the morning so by the time the afternoon came i was drenched to the skin.
I decided to use a pre shave today,
i say pre shave but a plain old bar of soap was suffice.
After eventually getting the face clean i decided to use a brush and give the bristles a good old rub down with the soap,
i have to say it’s very relaxing & prepares the hair already for the cut.
I have plenty samples of Pinnacle Grooming so i need to use them up.
For me it’s actually a very underrated soap & not one we see here to often.
Anyway i’m ranting on a bit so stay safe folks

AAS-Tea Tree Oil

* I must admit using the hybrid plate I don’t notice any difference or result from either side. I like heavy razors but the Yates isn’t bad for a lightweight and pairs well with the Feather blade.

**This soap tends to sit in the cupboard as I prefer the Danum but no complaints. I’ve got some Londinium coming so I might change my mind.
 
It should, just ask @Satanfriendly

Birthdate in 1830 of John Batterson Stetson (founder of hat company in 1865)


Rooney Emillion 2 Porcelain-Jade Finest (24/55)
Floris Santal shaving cream (vintage)
Carbon Shaving Adamas
Personna 74 Tungsten (6)
Paco Rabanne 1 Million aftershave

The Floris cream made wonderful spicy sandalwood lather, and the old Personna blade was extraordinarily smooth, as if it was made specifically for the razor. The Adamas has the Damascus pattern but is more highly polished, so it does not have the surface roughness of the Damascus. And the aftershave's light spiciness finished the shave very nicely.
