    Great setup. I like your lathered up brush and the box for your razor. Did I tell you I like cases and boxes for razors. Probably did.:)

    Had a very enjoyable shave this morning and got to try out some things for the first time.

    Merkur MII w/ Schick cartridge: VERY pleasant handle. Well balanced albeit a fair bit towards the handle and very comfortable to hold. I had the cartridge-end of the razor in the mug with some warm water while I was soaking the brush in it and I noticed that the handle retained a lot of the warmth in it for the duration of the shave - a rather nice thing on a chilly morning.

    I also got to use the Slovenian Barbus A/S for the first time this morning. This is a product that has quite a bit of history to it as the formula has not been changed since the 1950's and it can be had relatively inexpensively for $6 w/ free shipping. It's been described as an inexpensive take on Floid Blue and even though I didn't quite agree with the scent of the Barbus (to my nose it was rather medicinal smelling with a strong alcohol smell) - but I can't argue with how it feels on your skin. Very, very pleasing and even though it's been 4-5 hours since my shave this morning I can still feel the softness/smoothing effects of it on my face.

    I'm getting 'used' to the ginormous 30mm Kent T12 brush but it's very close to being 'too big'. We'll see.

    Hope y'all had a great shave and an even better day.

    Un bon rasage de la façon canadienne! (A good shave the Canadian way!)

    Saturday morning:

    Large Horsehair Barbershop
    Super Speed/Astra day 6

    Hein la, c'est bien froid en calisse - on gele les cacaouettes! (Hey there, it's damned good - we freeze off our cojones!) Believe me, it really is damned good. The Polar Vortex soap made in Barrie, Ontario may smell a little too mild but it still has a nice scent and does it ever lather super-rich with TONS of icy menthol. Its post-shave care is also terrific. The Bergamot Vetiver aftershave made in Gatineau, Quebec smells beautiful, and it's a menthol a-bomb with fantastic skincare - no moisturizer is needed! ;) :D

    Prep - Shower / Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam
    Razor - Gillette Fat Handled Tech
    Blade - Perma-Sharp Super (#3)
    Brush - Vie-Long 04312 Cachurro Horse
    Soap - Arko with Orange & Cinnamon EO
    After - Frozen towel / Alum & WH Mix
    Result - BBS+

    After a prolonged period of deliberation on horse hair brushes, I finally bit the bullet on the Cachurro today. Fantastic bit of kit, I'll post a review at a later date.
    Blade wise, these really are top notch, extremely comfortable, especially in my much-loved Tech. It always feels like I'm shaving with a piece of jewellery.

    Pinaud Clubman AS

    The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #30RS Silver Tip brush. Two passes with my DeFitch Three Piece Razor and a Personna Super Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
