Musgo Real Parker best Muhle R41 (Personna blue)... back to the 2011 model. Cold water/alum Captain's Choice Lime This razor, I think, has cured me of the nagging case of RAD I had developed. Unless I take the leap into straights, I'm pretty sure that my DE buying days have come to an end. Strange feeling and I'm not sure how I feel about it.
What a wonderful gift your wife gave you! I bet there are a lot of memories, especially from the last season at Old Tiger stadium.
Wednesday's Dove Men Face Wash Col. Conk Bay Rum Shave Soap Semogue 1305 Boar Gillette Fatboy F2 Sputnik Stainless CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Lemon WH Pinaud Vegetal The Col. Conk Bay Rum Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Semogue 1305 Boar Brush. Two passes with my Gillette Fatboy razor and a Sputnik Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Pinaud Vegetal after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

April 8 Plans Stirling Sheep facial soap Merkur 37C slant bar razor Feather blade (day 1) Omega 10098 professional boar brush Arko shave stick & glycerin Two passes Alum, Thayer's Lavender witch hazel, unrefined shea butter, and Nivea Sensitive Post-Shave balm This week, I'm using Arko as a shave stick and lathering with a boar brush. I had enough yogurt-consistency lather today for two passes plus touch-ups simply by using more soap, working it longer, and adding plenty of water. I haven't heard of anyone using glycerin in their Arko lather, but I think it makes it perform even better! Grace and Peace!
It's doing just fine. Toughening it up for all those bad blades still out there in my future. Feathers are useful for that.
