Magnum.... Mmmmmmm

I think it is just a bit more nimble still has the same bite , I really like it but you gotta concentrate and want a nice lather ! Thank you Chris for the wonderful gift.

People who pass on things like Tech heads are usually sick puppies.

Yup. I'll have some of that

Thursday 11th June SOTD

Soap - Palmolive Stick (in ceramic bowl)
Brush - Simpson Trafalgar T3
Razor - RazoRock Game Changer .84-P
Blade - Gillette Platinum (3)
Post - Boots Freshwood Balm

My choice of soap was inspired by reading @Electrif (Arthur's) SOTD.
Palmolive Stick soap always delivers, and seems to stand up to copious amounts of water without becoming too thin or runny.
Having worked outside in the wind and rain today I used a balm. Boots Freshwood - cheap as chips, and seemingly ever-lasting.

PAA Harvest Moon
Cadman M55 30mm Tuxedo
Merkur Progress 500 (2.5)
Feather Hi-stainless
Bart's Balm Amber and Moroccan Jasmine

​

An excellent shave today. The Progress produced a very good result, on two days growth, with the first pass. The second pass being almost unnecessary, but very pleasurable with the Cadman brush.
