    Great Fat Shave Perry. If you add about 2 drops of glycerin per ounce of aftershave, it will help with the face feel and moisturizing. I do that to pretty much all my aftershaves.

    Thank you, Clint! I need to get some glycerin and do that to a few of my splashes.

    So with the mirror finish Supply Co V2 arrived yesterday, the Wolfman OC got kicked to the curb. I will finish out the month using this razor. The finish on the razor is top notch and is truly polished to a mirror like shine. I expected the razor to be more slippery than the matt finishes when wet. Perhaps it is but I really can't tell that much difference. Three passes and touch ups caught the baby with ease. SE razors seem to handle my lower right neck with less effort. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

    I got mine a Publix but I am sure most any drug store or grocery will have it. I found it near the rubbing alcohol.

    Metaphorically speaking. The Wolfman is safely in the case and is not going anywhere. :D

    MWF~~Simpson~~Feather~~Ogallala
    I said the other day I was going to use my taller brushes for the MWF. What did I choose :signs002:
    Another Chubby. :angry032:
    Clang, ding, bang, bop, tink, Ugh.
    The ceramic MWF container is ever-so-slightly wider at the bottom, causing this knocking.
    Nevertheless, the synthetic Simpson was simply saturated with sumptuous suds.
    Wet and wild we wetted our face and wistfully applied the luscious lather.
    The bottomless bowl belies the bounty of this soap. I could probably get though most of
    November with the remaining product. :shocked029:
    Fourth and final shave with the Feather Super. I experienced a bit of dragging, leading to some unwanted
    epidermal removal. :angry019:
    I forged ahead and despite the curious red marks on my chin 'n cheeks, finished with a very close shave.
    Busted out the cracked alum :angry019: and scraped it across my face. Mos def© could feel the burn.
    After a minute or two, I washed it off with some Thayer's. Binned the blade.
    Cleaned the Feather; brush 'n bowl then reached for the Ogallala juice.
    Aaaaahhhhh. Good juice.:)

    Entertaining post, Joseph! Too bad about unwanted epidermal removal.

    Your "clang, ding, bang, bop, tink" sounds equated those of my brush work in the Burma Shave mug today(and yesterday too, for that matter) I know, I know...I'm gonna need a bigger mug.

    Good morning, gents!
    DSC_0603.JPG It was really hard to decide which products to use (and i don't even have a lot of stuff!) so i just reached for the Proraso can, matching AS and some unscented ASB. Comfortable two pass shave, one tiny weeper and the results were decently close.

    Have a nice day!

    Another fine shave with the Burma Shave cake this morning. I had the Maggard brush(marble handle synthetic, 24 mm)..AV Musk finished me off well again, as yesterday. Good shave to prep me for the return to the dentist to try again to work on my 2 cavities.
