Ikon S3S stainless steel razor head. Maggard's Razor MR3 stainless steel handle (modified). Astra SP blade. Razorock 400 Plissoft synthetic brush. Pheonix Accoutrements Dixie shave soap. Timeless Razor shave bowl. American Tobacco by Andy Hilfiger cologne. Three very nice passes this morning. Yesterday's was a no shave day. The S3S took care of business with no problems. I'm about to get a handle figured out for this razor. I like a shorter handle and the looks of a bulldog handle so I started digging around in the den and found a Maggard's MR3. I put it in the lathe and removed the knurling at the end of the handle for a custom look. I then polished it out. I really like this combo.....short with some weight. Happy Sunday everyone!
Thank you and I will. I have been out in the yard doing all sorts of things while enjoying the Sunshine.
Thank you Joe. The Semogue 1470 is excellent for face lathering. Semogue boars are generally more expensive than Omega boar due to their handle quality is better. However, I actually prefer Omega knots. I cannot comment on any badger brush. The closest i have is the Omega 11047 mixed midget badger & boar, which is great travel brush.
May 21 SOTA Good afternoon. Schick l-1 Injector Razor Ted Pella Injector Blade (8) MrEE Tuxedo Brush Chiseled Face Cryogen SS and AS Stirling Alum Block Beard Growth: 23 hrs It was hot enough to bring out the Cryogen. Let's me say if you use this soap in the morning, then you may not need your coffee. Lol! I picked out my fave Schick Injector for a nice easy shave. MrEE's brush whipped up a nice creamy lather without much trouble. I have found it is easier to bowl lather than face lather with this soap. Here is today's lather: I did a rare 3 pass shave because I wanted to feel that cooling menthol sensation that becomes more intense with each pass. I got a nice, comfortable shave, although the alum gave some feedback on my neck. I splashed the matching aftershave to continue with the menthol sensation. I amstill feeling the tingle. Lol! Take care.
