Saturday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Jayaruh #90
Edwin Jagger DE 89
Wilkinson Sword Super Sword-Edge
CWR, Asma Alum Block
T.N. Dickinson's WH
Pinaud Vegetal

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #90 Tuxedo synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Edwin Jagger DE 89 razor with a Wilkinson Sword Super Sword-Edge Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Pinaud Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Razor: Timeless OC w/Hempel Ti
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (6)
Brush: El Druida Red Heart/African Blackwood 2 Band
Soap: Route 66 Lumberjack
Aftershave: Myrsol Blue

Slowly this razor is moving into first place as my favorite DE razor. The new El Druida brush performed outstanding right out of the box. Not to my surprise the Route 66 Lumberjack whipped into a great lather providing a slick, thick lather. The finish with Myrsol Blue added to this BBS.
Have a great weekend each and all.

 

How are you enjoying that knot Jim?

 

Double WOW!! Killer combo Douglas. Very impressive.

 

Couldn't agree more. Palmolive cream is a favourite for sure.

 

Is that your portrait on the bottom of that brush?

 

Purdy!!
