    It is a medium rose scent that is quite nice. Not too sickening sweet like some rose scents. For a large tub (5.8 ozs) for about $15.00 bucks, it's a very good buy. The tub will last a long long time! ;)

    That DeLuxe head looks great. Replated? Nice combo with the Sabi handle.

    Thanks, it is just cleaned up brass that requires a clean and polish every so often.

    Brass can really clean up and polish up very well. I remember polishing my brass in the army, and it could almost be translucent.

    Nivea Men's Face Wash
    Col. Conk Lime Shave Soap
    Wild Cherry PTS
    My Dad's Schick E3
    Schick Platinum Plus
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Lemon WH
    Barbasol AS

    The Col. Conk Lime Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Wild Cherry Pur Tech Synthetic Brush. Two passes with my Schick E3 and Schick Platinum Plus Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave with a couple of weepers on my chin. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Barbasol after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Evening Shave for Tomorrow
    Cozy, smooth shave tonight with another splendid Wostenholm. This little round-tipped Pipe razor took a very nice edge and feels oh-so-smooth on the face.
    Got back into using 'The Fat' recently (Thanks, @BigMark !), and with a bit of practice, some really slick lather was produced. I had forgotten what a light, pleasant scent MWF has! Overall, a very enjoyable shave to start the week!

    Have a blessed Sunday, everyone!

    Thank you for the compliment.I love my Pils. It was a present from the wife for my 40th birthday. It is so heavy it does most of the work for you. Plus it looks like a mini version of Thors hammer.

    Vikings sword. Not heard of that blade before but what a fantastic name for a blade..... then again viking swords would usually end up covered in blood.

    That light, pleasant scent is what I love the most about the Fat. Everyone is always looking for complicated, heavy scents. That is fun, too. But there is a classic, understated elegance to a simple, high quality soap. When I'm looking for something special, the Fat is normally what I reach for. It is also a plus that it works well with any AS or Edt I can think of.
    Nice shave, BaconLord!

    They are polymer coated blades made in Israel (by I think they are made by Personna). They seem to work quite well in my Muhle R41, however I always had trouble with them in my other two razors (Rotbart and Gillette 1904).

    Shave of the day

    Pre- Hot shower, Bulldog original face wash

    Soap/cream- Martin de Candre fougere scent

    Brush- Whipped dog 24 mm silvertip

    Razor- Gillette Slim adjustable(5)

    Blade- Astra superior platinum(2)

    Post- Cold water rinse, Alum block, Pinaud Clubman aftershave lotion and Nivea sensitive aftershave balm

    My face feels WONDERFUL after this shave. 2 and a half passes =P 2 passes WTG and a few strokes XTG for some touch up.

    My lather from MdC was perfect. I'm finding the water/soap ratio now =D

    Pinaud Clubman gave a nice sting, it felt nice! The scent it nice too. I like it a lot.

    My whipped dog is awesome. I have been missing out a lot by not owning a silvertip!

    Nivea balm is always good!
