Saturday morning shave, CVH MK No.31. I must say I fancy these razors. Ultra thin blade that shave so good.

Yesterday

Wholly Kaw - La Fougere Parfait soap and AS.
Simpsons Emperor 3
Wacker - Barbers Bride

A shave that greatly pleased me.

I don’t think I’ve seen WK reference Brut in their descriptions, but it is closely related.

I love the performance of this soap. WK does use ingredients that I think might be gimmicky, but it does outperform the other Brut inspired soap from PAA for me. I don’t like the price, but will restock it.

I like the AS, but not as much as the Et Tu from PAA. I noticed WK now has an EdT of their scent, sans menthol. I’ll probably have to be in a benevolent mood to make the EdT investment though.

Heribert Wacker has made razors in the same traditions as his father and grandfather for like 60 years. His son is following in his footsteps. Shame that he still can’t make razors that are perfectly flat. Oh well, there are unsanctioned methods the average dude can use. Beware.... the use of this stuff has been banned by the International Commission of Professional Razor Sharpeners. It works for me, but you must use at your own peril.

 

Since Billy got his M.K. 32 I figured I should get mine out for the Sunday shave.

M.K. 32, soap and balm were ABC and the brush was a Simpsons 59. No shortage of lather.

Folks should do as they are told for sure.

Shaving is all about compliance with authority.

Ok, now go sit yourself in a corner, on a tall stool, and put on that pointy cap. That is, until you learn the proper(proven) way to hone a razor.

You know @Edison Carter , you tend to bring this on yourself, by posting those little snippets. But, it makes things entertaining. BTW, how is Jarrod doing?? Has he managed to sell all his Convex Stones yet??

 

Fine shave this afternoon and a full splash of Old Spice to please my wife of 29 years today.
