Wonderful shave Barry. Love my boar brushes.

 

Thank You Joe. 2003-04 must have been a traumatizing experience for you to remember it so vividly.

 

Wonderful shave this morning Jim

 

Almost 2/3 of the way through the 30 day focus. My Timeless Ti .68 is doing a fantastic job. If you're an every day sort of shaver I highly recommend it. It's smooth and mild enough that it never irritates, but efficient enough to give me a very close shave with 2 passes or a BBS with 3. B&M Reserve Classic is also performing great. The scent wasn't one of my favorites in the beginning but it's growing on me a bit. It's probably still only going to make it into the "not bad" category but if you like cologne type scents you might really enjoy it.

 

Well, a major shave indeed, as it was my first crack at Mitchell Wool Fat shaving soap. First, I just corrected my error of listing the year 1803 as the formula year on MWF...it is 1893. Still a few years back, thus a quality Throwback choice. I also got conflicting advice on preparing the MWF for the shave. One post said to take a whole minute to load the soap onto the brush, one said do slow swirls , one said do fast. Before getting completely confused, I just decided to load swirl as I have BEEN loading and swirling with other soaps. I did notice it getting pretty "bubbly" after maybe 10-15 seconds. I think my total loading count was 20-25 seconds. First pass a little too wet, as has always been the case. But it went well. I could really feel the smoothness of my face and neck before beginning the second pass. Also by the second, I could see suds forming in the mug , at the bottom of the soap. I guess that's what SHOULD happen anyway. I'm happy to have a 19th century shave soap . I will be trying dfferent aftershaves to go with it. Stephan B.R. is a nice choice. Maybe a different one for tomorrow. I did get a little Knick, but it was pretty harmless...it just SHOWED UP(that is, I didn't shave over a speed bump to produce it). It was gone with the cold-water rinse at the end. Nice and smooth feel from the shave...Out Of This World Excellent.

 

Thank you, Joe....It's nice to see someone showing the humble boar brush some love too.
