    The CH2 looks fantastic and should make a dent in the never ending bowl of La Toja

    RyX DoH!

    Me, three. Got a new-to-me shavette to try half DE blades through & that fresh vintage pack of Twin injector blades to enjoy.
    I'm holding off today's shave so I can feed a face full of whisker to new gear!

    Thank Clint! I can start to see where the sides of the bowl slope down to the bottom. I never would have thought that 75g of soap would last so long.

    Blade: Chinese Schick
    Razor: Schick G1 injector
    Brush: Omega 10049 boar
    Lather: Bombed Mitchell's Wool Fat
    Post: Bombed Witch hazel, Bombed Fine American Blend aftershave
    WTG, touch up

    What a shave!! I am off my schedule due to not being in a routine, but that worked to my advantage today as I did some things on a whim. I filled up my Boise Mudworks scuttle with ice water and then scuttle lathered the Mitchell's with some TSD M-bomb. Face lathered and shaved with the G1 - so smooth, comfortable, and efficient. Finished with some bombed witch hazel and bombed Fine American. A nice and chilly shave. Terrific results!

    Have a great rest of your Friday!

    Brush: El Druida Te Vigilo w/Manchurian
    Soap: Nuavia Verde

    Very much starting to like this soap. It is very easy to lather with a good scent, even I can smell it. :) Very near BBS shave this afternoon.

    I'll have to try that Perry. I find some soaps don't react to warm scuttles. I don't have a Boise Mudworks scuttle, but I do have a few scuttles.

    It was terrific! Not too cold, but just right!

    I rarely use the scuttle since I face lather all the time. But I have used it occasionally with ice water and it makes the lather feel nice and cool. Great for a hot day.

    Love the lineup Doug. The brush is meant for the Verde.
