    Thank you very much Guy. This brush is a winner. :happy088:

    FYI I have been using TW 3 D print bowls this month and I have found I able to get a good lather whether I go clock wise or counter clock wise.

    Saturday's Straight/OC Shave
    zcws.gif

    Proraso Pre Shave
    Jeff's Soap Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #227
    Dubl Duck 5/8
    Old Type by Tom
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Thayer's Peach WH
    Pinaud Vanilla

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Jeff's Soap Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #227 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gillette New Deluxe Tuckaway razor and Gillette Silver Blue blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then Pinaud Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Yeah, each razor takes a different blade and when you find the right pairing, sometimes that changes, so you have to start all over. My Gillette SS has changed a couple times, if I don`t use it pretty often. I have used the Wilkinson several times, but I have yet to find the blade that I like in it. I really like
    how mild it is, so I`ve been moving up to sharper blades, but I have to be careful because of my tremors.

    October 20


    Razor - Matthew the Haunted New Deluxe SC
    Blade - [​IMG] (4)
    Pre-shave - Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
    Soap - Stirling Electric Sheep
    Brush - 30 DC LE
    Post - Alum

    I extended this setup for one additional night mostly because I got started late and just decided it was good enough to go again. Besides, the 30DC LE brush got bumped last night in favor of the JR54 so it needed its turn.

    Voskhod easily goes 4+ shaves so no worries there. The Tuxedo knot in the LE brush is excellent in its own right and whipped up a great Electric Sheep lather on top of the pre-shave. I started to switch out to Scots Pine Sheep just for a slight change but once I gave it a sniff I put it down in favor of the high voltage mutton. Nothing wrong with it, I just prefer the Electric.

    Two passes and touch ups and it's a very near BBS. I didn't work at it quite as much as the previous three shaves but still got very close to the baby. The NEW Deluxe SC and Voskhod are an awesome combo.

    Tomorrow - it's time for a couple of days of some challenging shaves. I'll take on @BearCWY 's challenge tomorrow night. Depending how that goes I may give it two nights. Following his challenge I'll be on to the Durham Duplex razor or razors. With a slight twist. Hope your weekend is a great one!

    Pre: - Cold Water straight from the tap
    Brush: - Semogue SOC 2 Band Badger in Ash Wood 24/53mm
    Lather: - Wholly Kaw - Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli Limited Edition (tallow) Donkey Milk 3x
    Bowl: - Captain's Choice Cobalt
    Razor: - Muhle R41 v2013 with the iKon Bulldog Handle
    Blade: - Gillette Sputnik #1
    Post: - Lucky Tiger Aftershave & Face Tonic / Bulldog Original Moisturiser

    Wow!! I can't believe the Super Max Blue Diamond Platinum Coated blade edge finished at 2 shaves maximum with the R41, so I've place a new blade Gillette Sputnik and see how far this can last using the R41.

    I achieved a total BBS this morning with this cheap razor and blade. Very nice cushion, slickness, and moisture from the Williams.
    I really enjoyed this smooth, efficient 3 pass shave.
    Just goes to show that you don't need to spend a lot of money to enjoy this hobby of traditional shaving.

    If you haven't tried it yet... JUMP on in... the waters FINE!
