Sudsy Tuesday This was my first use of a Sudsy Soapery soap, and it was the collaboration with Chattilon Lux: Delor de Treget. The lather appeared quick and thick and easily, with plenty of residual slickness. The scent is a very nice citrus with other notes that I'll need a while to pick out. Three smooth passes and the post shave feel is good as well. I finished with CL Santal Auster - a really nice compliment and a great sandalwood in its own right.

SOTD May 16, 2017 Blade: GEM Stainless Razor: GEM Pushbutton Brush: Jayaruh #60 synthetic Lather: Proraso Green Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Executive Man aftershave WTG, touch-up Nice and easy shave this morning. The Pushbutton continues to work quite well. Smooth and comfortable with good results. Still working on the tub of Proraso and trying to finish it off. I'm using it every other shave until then. A nice shave overall with no complaints. Have a great day!
Clint, your Brass General is starting to look great! I have oxidation? If that's the right term under the bottom plate.

Once again it was Menthol Paradise for me - this time with the Glacial Lemon Chill soap which produced lather porn. Three passes with this treasure got me as smooth as a dolphin, along with a mega-frozen face. The Lemon Chill witch hazel went on frigidly-cold and it felt so good. I can't believe it - since I started to use my Plissoft synthetic, all my other brushes are just sitting there and looking at me. One day I'll use them but I don't know when. My Super Speed/Rapira combo worked its magic beautifully!
Thank you Kerry. I didn't have the patience to wait so I used a Brass Antiquing Solution from the woodworking store to speed up the process. I think it turned out well and I can see the patina continuing to develop even after using the solution.
It looks fabulous! The Brass General is my favorite SE razor, I haven't had a bad shave yet. I really like the idea of it aging. Well done Clint!!
Thank you Kerry. I agree the Brass General is a fantastic razor. I think it blends efficiency and smoothness better than most razors I've tried. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
