    Thank you Primo. I have been curious about the Myrsol Don Miguel. I have some MW Lilac that I really enjoy so your description gives me a better point of reference.

    Thursday Shave
    [​IMG]
    Brush- RazoRock Tri-Colored
    Razor- Clauss Fremont, O. U.S.A. SR, Schick Type G
    Blade- Schick (4)
    Soap- Stirling Barbershop
    Post Care- Crystal Alum
    Thayers Witch Hazel with grapefruit EO and M-Bomb
    Osage Rub

    First time ever using a SR and I'm happy to say I survived. I only did my right cheek and neck but there was zero blood. It was difficult at first finding the angle but once I did it went great. I made the Stirling a little thin and as usual, it performed great. I did three passes and started each one with the SR and finished with the Schick for the rest of my face. I only did WTG with the SR but did WTG, XTG and ATG with the Schick. I did a final cleanup everywhere with the Schick and I'm BBS with very little irritation. I finished up with the Osage Rub which is quickly becoming my favorite. Have a great day folks!

    Internet is out. No pic again. :angry019:

    Simple, quick, efficient shave this morning. I really love injector and SE shaving. Comfortable, smooth, and enjoyable.

    La Toja is a fantastic shaving soap. Amazing lather, great scent, lots of slickness and terrific post-shave feel. I'll have to get some more as what I have is only a little bit from a shave stick that I pressed into a container.

    Hope you have a great day!

    I needed a good shave this morning so I went with a razor that would deliver without any worries about blade quality or potential issues. The Chiseled Face Sherlock was chosen for the same reason as the soap makes excellent lather and as a bonus has a wonderful scent profile. The vintage Erskine with the original Badger knot lathered the soap easily, and I am BBS and AGAIG. Have a blessed day gentlemen.

    Denu is a very nice cream from Colombia which has good lather, LOTS of menthol, and pretty good skincare. I'll admit that the scent is secondary but it's still decent. The Lucky Tiger a/s cream feels so good afterwards, and so does the Aqua Velva! ;) :D

    Happy Canada Day to each and every Canuck here! :)
