SOTD Tuesday 2/23

Razor-Merkur 39c
Blade-Astra SP
Brush-Strongset (WD black badger)
Soap-Maggard Mango Sage Tea
AS-Pinaud Clubman
Bowl-World Market

3rd shave with the Merkur and the result is a smooth, smooth BBS again. That's the relatively worked shaves in a row. Today was a 3-pass (WTG, XTG, ATG). The result is as smooth as it gets, even brushing my hand ATG on my neck reveals nothing but skin, no stubble. I like the Maggard soap, but the scent is very light, I wish it was stronger. Off to the salt mine.

Great setup Herm. Lovely brush!

 

Thank you! The WD knot is very soft, but it really lathers great. It was my first attempt at a restore.

 

Looks like it belongs there...

 

Great set up! I like the Maggard soaps .. they are made by artisan Maria Arman (Through The Fire Fine Craft) right there in Michigan. I have the London Barbershop and the scent and performance are top notch

 

SOTD for Tuesday February 23rd..............

TOBS Avocado face lathered w/Omega Pro (The Omega Pro is a little large and messy for face lathering but it's still a great brush)
'55 Super Speed w/Astra SP blade (3rd)
WH rinse followed by Nivea Cooling ASB finishing w/a splash of Floid aftershave

2-passes for a comfortable DFS!

 

Thank you, too. You're right about their soaps, easy to lather, great scents. I have to be careful with the London Barbershop, my wife says the scent gets her all "hot and bothered".

Tuesday:
hot shower w/Grandpa's Orange Essence bar soap
Maggard Sweet Orange PSO
Bunny V3 2+ passes
Schick (1)
Dubl Duck boar
Musgo Real Orange Amber cream in a warm bowl
Humphreys Citrus WH
Fine L'Orange Noir A/S

First shave with the Bunny. I ignored the advice of others to start with the Mild comb and instead started with the Notso comb. Not too long ago I shaved with my Schick H model for the first time so it only took me a moment or so to get used to the angle. While I don't have the time this morning to give a long review I do want to note a few things.
I got a very good close shave - this was a typical injector type shave where you realize not immediately, but 30 minutes or more after your shave, just how close it was.
I should have started with the Mild comb - I ended up with a couple of weepers.
I smell great - (like you guys care).
I'm looking forward to using this razor some more and following it's continuing development.
Speaking of continuing development - The head is somewhat bulky but the only real place I had trouble was just beneath my nostrils where it's hard to tell when my moustache stops and where my nose hairs begin. I couldn't quite get as close as I would have liked. Secondly, the handle is completely smooth so I wasn't as sure with my grip. I'm thinking it would benefit from an improved grip.
Gotta get back to work so again, sorry for the abbreviated review but I had a great first shave with a razor that has a bright future.

 

Super awesome photo Mark, I hoped you didn't poke yourself with that prickly cactus.
