MWF~~Simpson The "Duke"~~Detroit National Cut Co.~~Aqua Velva
Posting this rather late, but the shave took place about 10:00am this morning.
Sticking with the "Old School" theme these days.
Not sure how old the Detroit straight is; the MWF (brand) has been around for a while; the Aqua Velva
is not the original Williams, but rather Beechum; the Simpson "Duke" may have some history, but
this particular iteration is probably only about 20 years old.
Not my oldest set-up.
Bloomed the Fat and loaded up the Duke with a goodly amount of soap.
The SiLVERTiP felt nice on the face. There's an itsy-bitsy hint of scrub in this knot.
This brush is really well-traveled. Manufactured in England, I purchased it from a fellow in India.
Side note: it turns out he attended Indiana University as I did, albeit a generation later!
The Fat is mos def slick, so the "Motown Mauler" easily mowed down the stubble.
Once again, I quit after two comfortable passes for a solid DFS.
Post shave is probably well-known by most of the readers of my posts.
Alum, Thayer's and finally, Aqua Velva.
I have to say the AV really leaves the skin feeling great. ​

very nice sir..

Terrific picture and old school set up, Joseph!

Thank you, Danny!

Nice setup Joseph. I agree with you about the Aqua Velva. Feels so good

Great photos Danny. The gazebo is looking fantastic.

Looking good. Your comment on Orbit is some serious enabling.

The Duke looks great. I really like the color.

Now that’s just hurtful. Although I do plan to enjoy the cartel propaganda cookies while here. I will also file my official Cartel complaint about being duped into propaganda photos eating frozen custard with cartel members. I’m just waiting for Neal to supply me with the proper complaint forms so I can fill them out in triplicate... in Russian... and then get the wheels of beurocracy moving... and, oh never mind.

I ate several. We can say one of those is for you.

We helped each other comb our hair and dress up nice.

I admit I am not sure at all about the name but the razor does look interesting.








It does look better than the Occam's NANO which I own and enjoy. Based on my experience with the NANO I decided to take a chance on the preorder.

I will first have to send you the form to fill out to request a form be sent to request the complaint form. Once you receive that please fill out in triplicate, and fax a copy to Cartel HQ along with the requisition form to receive a receipt that will then be attached to the second copy, and filed with the office of special requests, complaint division, propaganda subdivision. Once all of that is complete you will be put in the queue for further action. You will then be notified when it is your turn.

Very nice shave!

Thanks.

Excellent! A very inspiring shave.

Thanks Clint....it is slowly starting to come together. I caught myself several times relaxing in it today on the trailer.

Thank you. ....were they good?
