MAYhem!!! 2019

May 15

Razor - Fatip Piccolo
Blade - (3)
Soap - Stirling Barbershop
Brush - Stirling Finest Badger
Alum

Third and final shave with the Fatip and Ladas. Also the final shave of the week until Sunday. I pulled out the Stirling double play on soap and brush with Barbershop and the Finest Badger brush. A rather luxurious shave to end with before a four day break. Three passes to fully enjoy it and the baby is in the house. I dare say when I return Sunday I'll have a little more to do to get a shave this good! Quiet alum and that finishes three days of very fine shaves. Totally NOT what we think of MAYhem, but there you go.

Next week I have some blades that @jtspartan gifted me in his "generous" spirit. I'll be taking a look at those and seeing if Canadian Carbon steel lasts any better than American. Somehow, I doubt it. Hope you all have a fantastic Thursday and an even better weekend! It's time to go howl at the moon!!

nice shave sir..

 

Thank you. This is one of my favorite fragrances and Oleo does an excellent job duplicating it. Oleo's "Canard" base is outstanding as well.

SOTD:
Beautiful shave today with the Wilkinson sword classic and the Wilkinson sword blade.

The omega is already starting to soften up after two shaves, and its now perfect for face lathering.

As usual the arko shave stick produced explosive lather, this stuff never fails to impress me, its absolutely fantastic.

Decided to use my first ever aftershave which i actually got from my dad who got it from his today , it has an amazing clean scent.


I finally retired the feather hi-stainless after 38 shaves!!

Razor: Wilkinson sword classic
Blade: Wilkinson sword (3)
Brush: Omega 49
Soap: Arko shave stick
Aftershave balm: aquaeous cream
