    Fatboys were made to last. I will be happy if my $1.29 Dollar Tree razors lasts 5 years. Lol!

    Excellent shave Chris. Riding the cap is a great method to use while shaving with aggressive razors. Enjoy your day.

    SE Shave # 321 - MICROMATIC DECLARATION GROOMING MONDAY

    Rating: 5 / 5

    Razor: GEM Micromatic Open Comb
    Blade: GEM Stainless (3)
    Brush: Skully
    Lather: Declaration Grooming Darkfall
    Aftershave: Declaration Grooming Darkfall
    Additional Care:
    Omega Alum
    Declaration Grooming Aftershave Liniment - Darkfall
    Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel

    Wonderful Declaration Grooming Darkfall shave this morning following my X3 Bar Push workout and a hot shower. The MMOC performed as expected delivering a super close and comfortable shave. As customary for me, I did my usual three pass shave. I just love the entire process from start to finish.

    Hope you all have a great day gentlemen.

    Mine only lasted two before I noticed rust spots and the “door” on the cap broke off

    Awesome shave Chris. I have never tried any of the Col. Conk’s products. Perhaps I. About 10 years, :happy102:, when I reduced the number of soaps in my den to a manageable number.

    The cover on the scuttle is from a vendor on Etsy; FrugalShave.

    I usually press a soap sample into the scuttle provided it has the hardness of a soap and not the creaminess of a croap. After use, I let the soap dry out for about 24 hours then place the cover on it. The purpose of the cover is more to keep any dust or whatever settling on the soap as I store some of my mugs on top on my medicine cabinet in the bathroom.

    Very nice. I picked up this razor head about two weeks ago for $2.60. Could not pass it up at that price. Expecting delivery the first week in April.

    Ok, right! I wonder what $1.29 in today's money was back in the 1950s? maybe a few cents worth!

    Thanks Joe.

    I will pass on that one!

    Yes it lathered well, the scent wasn't super duper, I will continue to use it but won't order it again.

    Those 3D printed lids are cool. Good tip thanks. Haven't used my el cheapo charity shop scuttle yet, but will make a cover to keep the dust off if I ever get around to it.

    Shaving recipe for today.

    Pre:
    Cold wet flannel to my face.
    Pears Original Transparent Bar Soap.
    Brush: Anbbas 24mm Tuxedo synthetic
    Bowl Lather.
    Bowl : Home Bargains Stainless Steel Side Bowl.
    Lather:The body Shop Maca root & Aloe shaving cream.
    Blade: Shark Super Stainless. (D1)
    Frankenrazor: Muhle R41 bottom plate with Yaqi Mellon top cap + Schmidt R10 Handle. - Shark Super Stainless. (D1)

    Post:
    Cold water face wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face Rinse./Alum Rub./Cold Water Rinse/Homemade (~Autumn/Winter mix~) peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree essential Oils Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel. / Superdrug Forest Fresh ASL./Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

    Greetings,

    Early morning Shave,

    I have mentioned on many occasions that The Body Shop Maca Root & Aloe shaving cream never fails to provided me with a smooth protective slick lather in no time leaving a superb post shave feel....This cream gives the best protective slickness, and post shave feel that i have had from any shaving cream that i have tried to date...Superb Stuff!

    My newly experimented R41 frankenrazor continues to astound me on how efficient & smooth the Yaqi Mellon top cap & hefty Schmidt R10 Handle make. This is my new favourite frankenrazor, which will be added to my razor rotation on a regular basis.

    A comfortable BBS 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

    My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine. ;)

    Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen. :cool:

    Very nice shave Barry. What caused you to turn the R41 into a Frank? Just for the hell of it or some other reason?
