    Sticking with the F until I get back home. With less than 24 hours of stubble I cut back to a 2 pass routine to avoid any risk of getting too close. Nice shave. :cool:

    Lots of people knock the VDH brush. But I got it to introduce myself to wet shaving and I love it. Works very well for me and don't see a reason to replace it just yet. But may get a synthetic brush

    I agree mine has broken in nicely and now that it no longer sheds it's a treat to use. :happy088:

    For my Sunday morning shave:

    Large Horsehair Barbershop
    Super Speed/Derby day 7
    Ingram Green SC :love055: :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Gold Bond Moisturizer :love055: :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:

    Sorry for not showing any pictures, but I've got a very nice chilly selection for Sunday. The Ingram Green cream from Egypt has the same super-rich lather as the original version from the UK with an almost identical scent. The menthol effect is quite a bit stronger - in fact I'd call it DAMNED cold. The skincare is also pretty good. I'm in love with the Gold Bond and the Skin Bracer - there's no way I can be without them. My Derby blade has been cleaning me up so well this whole week! ;) :D

    Custom? Tell me more! I may try VDH unscented with patchouli and lime Essential Oils.
    I like the VDH soaps, too. I've found tallow gives better performance, but I'm not tossing a good soap because I've found better. Same goes for the brush.

    It just allowed all the scent of the soap to escape, and it got moldy underneath near the cracks.

    Just cut a chunk of it and melted in that little jar. While it was still liquid, I added a liberal amount of essential oil (eucalyptus mint for this one) then stirred it and let it cool and harden. It lathers just as well and not has a great mint feel that feels great on the skin. And you can add whatever aroma you like.

    Used the DR Harris Sandalwood soap for the first time and it did not disappoint. It was easy to lather, smelled nice and was great to use.

    Glad you liked your soap Joe, thanks for the review. I have a newly acquired Fine Angel hair brush also, I hope you've liked it as much as I have. :)
