Women HAVE to feather their nest and when others come to the nest, the nest MUST be perfect. Hang in there Jeff !

Thanks, Dave! I get it; I just don’t like it!

Sean, I really the scales and that shoulderless blade design! Great kit!

That is one beautiful razor, Joseph! I’m sure it’s a great shaver! I have a Mk 29 I picked up off one of the Swedish sites. Are those ivory scales?

Shave of the Week Starting 20 December 2021

Weber DLC razor
Gillette 365 blade
WD Synthetic brush
Williams Menthol SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Assorted A/S

Although the Williams SC works very well, the scent is off putting for me. If it's not better tomorrow I'll change to something else, maybe Arko maybe not. Regardless the scent situation, I got a right dandy shave this morning and my face is happy. The Gillette 365 blades don't get a lot of love on any of the shaving boards and that's to bad. For me they are great, smooth, comfortable and very efficient. I like them a lot. Now go enjoy those Christmas week shaves folks

I know and ditto

Today was a break from my usual every other day routine. Whether it was the lesser stubble or just the blade, I don’t know, but I do know that this near wedge Sheffield from one of my favorite makers provided a super, super smooth shave

Hot water preparation
Argan Oil PSO
Romera Wengue Chubby Manchurian Badger
Sterling Soap Black Cherry sample
John & William Ragg 6/8
Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel



Happy shaving - Karl
