Razor: Bur 3074 “Best Silver Steel”
Brush: 20mm boar in brass
Soap: Razorock MF
A/S: Stirling Mountain Man
This razor is one of the many German trademarks under the Ern family of razors. I’m thinking the scales are a slight mismatch, but Turban is also an Ern brand, so works for me.

Enjoy your shave!

Thursday's Shave

Keeping It Simple Shave Week

Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #309
Alumigoose
Feather Professional
CWR
Aqua Velva AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #309 synthetic brush. I did just one pass with the Mongoose Alumigoose Razor on loan from Redfisher with a Feather SS Professional blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Good morning all
Fist time using the
Phoenix Bakelite Alpha Ecliptic Slant Razor (say that 3 times fast)
One of my closest 2 pass shaves.
Will be one of my favorites along with the Phoenix bakelite OC slant.

Edit
Forgot...
Witch hazel wake up splash and as always cold shave

Razor (face)
Bakelite Alpha Ecliptic Slant Razor
Blade
Feather (yes new)
Razor (head)
Razorock german 37c slant
Blade
Dorco ST 301 (3rd time, not good, need new blade for next round)
Soap
Amici
Pre shave
Homemade oil
Brush
Cheap badger but works well
Finish
Nivea after shower

Face
This was a close shave, nice smoth face.
The razor is a bit clunky being the head is so large. Will take a few days to master the size of this road grader, but from first impressions it will be well worth it.

Head
I want a one pass shave here if at all possible and it can be done. Trying to get 3 shaves out of a blade might be a pipe dream even with a slant.

Just so ya know
I've only been wet DE shaving for about 6 months. I'm soitenly no expert .

Eat well, live well, shave well....

I like!!!

And I'll have one on the rocks.
