    Morning, gents!
    IMG_20201007_152259_226.jpg
    A good shave, but the blade is starting to feel slightly duller. I'll probably toss it, i've had my moneys worth.

    Now i'll brew some more coffee, and you should consider doing so too.

    Have a good day all!

    When I was at the University of Alabama, we still played a few home games at Legion Field, including our "home" games of the Iron Bowl. The parking was awful and the surrounding sketchy neighborhoods took care of the slack. Each resident signaled its yard availability by waving underwear to the drivers and then tightly packed you in there like a game of Tetris. Of course they promised to look out for your car with nurse-like care.

    Good choice. I drink coffee most of the time, but occasionally and maybe in the evenings it's nice to have some tea. No milk or sugar for me.

    Thank you Jeff. The MWF is working well. I can't tell a difference in post shave feel since I started using it. Then again I use other things that take care of that department no matter which soap I use.

    Thank you Andrew. The MWF lathers are pretty much consistently very good now. I really overload the brush and spend extra time face lathering while adding water slowly. Each day, I have enough lather in the brush for another 1-2 passes after doing a three pass shave. I have been checking the weight of the soap daily and so far I am averaging over 1 gram of soap per shave. I suspect it is actually higher since MWF is still absorbing water from the shaves. MWF is not the best lathering soap I have tried but it is not the worst either.

    I guess it's the best way to "dart" in and out of the Texas State Fair.

    I should measure my soap usage. For MWF, that's about ~125 shaves per puck at your rate.

    Vintage Tallow Williams~~Mondial~~Fatip Lo Storto Originale/Polsilver SI~~J.B. Williams Aqua Velva
    My shaving has really improved since I started riding the safety bar.
    Most noticeable improvement is on my neck.
    Being able to perform a successful ATG pass without irritation has made a HUGE difference.
    Today's Wednesday, so I followed another tradition and grabbed my Williams.
    No Bloom. Soaked brush.
    BTW, Mondial boar knots are superior to Omega for this reason:
    You will not find black bristles in their knots.
    They clearly sort through the hair and use ONLY the softer yellowish bristles.
    If you haven't tried a Mondial, they are not expensive and simply the best boar available.
    Back to the Williams.
    Take a gander at this sumptuous lather:
    [​IMG]
    Slick as grease. Protective and cushiony.
    Perfect base for the Fatip.
    The added menthol crystals kick it up a notch.
    Finished with the original J.B. Williams Aqua Velva.
    Oh yeah.
    BTW....
