    Friday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Mitchell's Wool Fat
    Jayaruh #313
    Eversharp G
    Personna
    CWR
    Cella After Shave

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #313 Badger Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the Eversharp G razor with a Personna blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Cella After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

  19. SOTD and Review, 22 November 2019

    First shave with my newly delivered Fine Marvel Razor and a new Voskhod blade today, and I will definitely affirm all reports of this razor's efficiency. No doubt it's on the milder side, though I wouldn't claim the title "mild" but rather I think "medium" might be better. The blade gap is large at 0.95 mm (which apart from the interesting design is the main reason I wanted to try this out) but you'd never know the gap was that large given how easy it is to shave with. Absolutely no issues finding the right angle (as you might expect looking at the razor head given its characteristics). On a crisp, crystal clear 22F morning, Murphy and McNeil's Bád Mór - their bay rum - was calling my name, so that's the soap I went with today. Very very nice shave.

    Preshave: hot shower & hot towel
    Razor: Fine Accoutrements Marvel
    Blade: Voskhod (#1)
    Brush: Omega Pro 49
    Bowl: Fine Accoutrements Ceramic Lather Bowl
    Soap: Murphy & McNeil Bád Mór
    Aftershave: Murphy & McNeil Bád Mór

  20. Thank you!
    Was rhodium a standard finish or a choice of yours?
    I like shiny toys too :D
