Apologies sent! Too bad the stuff isn't more widely available or on sale for $15 a puck.

I was helped by my 7 year old niece this morning who kept up a non-stop commentary about every aspect of my morning shave.

Prep: warm wash
Lather: IanS cream (she didn't like the smell)
Brush: TGN synthetic/Burma Shave handle
Razor: Weber ("That's an old fashioned one, isn't it?)
Blade: Nacet Stainless
Post: Old Spice Pure Sport (she sniffed them all and chose this one)

Now, to get ready for the zoo!

Great shave with great stuff today. Can't get much better than this stuff.

 

Only to take on vacation? =P

 

I envy you

 

Nice shave, the 1305 seems better

 

SATURDAY
Took a break from straight razors this morning. A very nice DE shave using my favorite Mühle and soap.
DE shaving is considerably faster and, dare I say, far easier to get a top-flight shave than with a straight razor.
Having said that, I still find the whole straight razor process incredibly satisfying and do prefer that particular shaving routine. A good DE shave is, however, a pleasant way to start the day!
Have a great Saturday, all!

 

Well the I Coloniali soap it's just so good and easy to use.

 

Nice razor.

Saturdays shave.
After reading a thread on here about what brushes we prefer I went back to using a badger brush after a long time using a synthetic brush. It was a very pleasant surprise and I really enjoyed using the silver tip brush.

Shave of the day

Pre- Hot shower, Anna and Claras sandalwood bath soap

Soap/cream- Mitchell’s Wool Fat

Brush- Semogue 1470

Razor- Merkur 37c

Blade- Qball platinum plus

Post- Cold water rinse, Old spice original aftershave lotion and Nivea sensitive cooling aftershave balm

I think I have found a good way to lather MWF =) I got very nice lather and a damn fine shave. I did miss a spot under my chin, not really miss, it was more that I didn’t get it close.

First time using Qball blades, they were a gift from a friend. Im not sure they are good for me. They were okey, but not the sharpest. I could see my skin following the razor but it didn’t feel tuggy. We’ll see on the second shave.

Old spice original = amazing finish to the shave
