Crowne & Crane Thuringian Forest again today. 20 seconds to load the JB Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Gillette 7 O’Clock Blue SP in the Fat Boy. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with CC Frozen Vetiver aftershave.

I love the handle on that Goose. Great Pic, Sir!

 

Thank you all. I have been having so much fun taking the pictures.

 

Joseph, great to hear that you have noticed how nice the post-shave can be with Manuel's soaps. You should really try his new V2 tallow soaps as the post-shave and everything else about these soaps are phenomenal.

Really like the filter you use Robert. Question, does the Pal Injecto-matic also use twins? Don't have any just curious.

 

Thanks Guy! No it doesn't and it will be damaged if you try. It doesn't need them, trust me on this.

 

Thanks Doug, The Duke and the Berkeley are my two favorite low end Simpsons brushes.

 

+1 on the Thuringian Forest and you should try their TF aftershave balm. I am not a balm guy but I like this one and the aroma hangs for a long time.

 

Great setup of fine tools Bob. Hope your having a good day.

 

Excellent photo Celestino. Beautiful brush!!

 

Great picture. Very well laid out for effect.

 

Good photograph with an excellent brush Thorsten.

 

Supply SE is an amazing razor. Even with the aggressive head it's way more mild in feel than anything that approaches it in efficiency (Bunny, Hawk, General etc). I could see where some might prefer more feedback but no question the most enjoyable head shave I've had for the ease with which a totally smooth finish is achieved. I did manage one nick which I attribute to not yet being used to the weight. I prefer the longer handle of the PAL Adjustable but the Supply would be way too heavy for my needs with a longer handle given its construction. A job incredibly well done and a steal at the price. DIY shave gel only today.

 

My absolute all time favorite brush is back! Beautiful!

 

Jealous. Mine is parked in Minneapolis. [pouting]
