Greetings,
Up with the larks, another early morning start for me yet again,needs must... but at least i don't have to work the bank holiday.
A new shave set up to start the weekend.as mentioned i've kept to my word and added the omega 10049 & the schmidt R10 to start the my weekend shave off along with a few other items i haven't used for a considerable amount of time.
When the omega 10049 brush was passed on to me, i'll admit i was put off,and slightly intimidated by it's size compared to my omega 10077, and thought it would be a 'Lather Monster'and be quite difficult to create a good lather, how wrong i was, after i gave her a good 10 minute soaking in warm water,i done a few practice hand ,bowl & face latherings yesterday evening using a arko shave stick, my negative thoughts disappeared and found this 'Voluptuous Italian Lady' is a superb all round brush which is a pleasure to use.
The schmidt R10 razor has good hefty-weight i find it mid-range aggression, it reminds me of my muhle R89 /Merkur 34c hd in someways, with a slightly more efficient bite to it..all in all, a great heavy weight razor. Both the brush & razor are another wonderful addition to my sotd set-ups, which will be appearing more frequently in the sotd's in the future...what a superb duo.
The arko fresh created a wonderful lather for the shave.
A very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Arko ~ cool cologne, the fragrance is wonderful, but is very short lived, while it lasts though, it's superb..'a great inexpensive everyday cologne'which serves it's purpose very well indeed.
My face is feeling cool, super smooth & smelling devine.
Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.

I don't quite feel the same love for vintage SE razors as some of you gents do. It may be because I'm still relatively new to traditional shaving. But I must say, that was an exceptional shave. Enjoy the weekend chaps.
