ER Streamline Gem PTFE 2 Vulfix 404 Mixed Williams Mug Soap Superior 70 Used my dad's brush and mug soap on the 7th anniversary of his passing. Unfortunately the knot is falling apart and this will be the last use of the brush unless reknotted. Very nice 2 pass shave. Enjoy your day.
SOTD February 4, 2020 Prep: Cold water and PAA Cube pre-shave soap Blade: Personna Razor: Schick B1 repeater Brush: JR #377 badger Soap: Stirling Gentleman Post: Witch hazel, Speick aftershave Another one pass this morning with some major clean-up on my neck. So maybe a 1.5 pass shave. Pretty good overall. Outstanding lather from Gentleman and the JR brush. I'll be using this Speick aftershave a few more times to finish off the bottle. It's almost gone. I have a field trip today with some of my juniors. We're going to the middle school to spend the day with the band students there. Building relationships and recruiting. Believe it or not but 8th graders in our area are already filling out course selection sheets for their freshman year, so we're getting in front of them to encourage them to continue with band. Enjoy your day!
Be sure to try out their new blades. I think they are still made by the same folks, but on Supply specifications. I like them.
Very nice Dale . I have my Dads old brush also and it was in terrible condition but I repaired it and made my own knot for it . Some things are too personal to part with.
February 4th Razor: Razorock Wunderbar Slant Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Platinum (3) Brush: 30DC LE V2/Maggards SHD Pre-shave: PAA The Cube Soap: B&M Reserve Fern PAA Galactic witch hazel PAA unscented Star Jelly AS: B&M Reserve Fern Good morning Terrific shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Light tickle from the alum. B&M Reserve Fern and the 30DC meet up brush from the randomizer. Hot water from the kettle in my dipping bowl and brush scuttle. Built an excellent lather for pass one. Rested the brush in the HOT scuttle. Reserve does not like the heat. The lather on the brush had almost completely disappeared. I tried working it back up on my face, nothing doing, had to go back to the puck and start over. Same for pass three. Reserve works well enough with hot tap water in the scuttle, not so much with boiling water from the scuttle. Have a great day!
