Day Eleven of my 3017 discipline: The Fat This is most definitely my Desert Island Shave Soap. The only thing MWF doesn't have, when compared to today's artisan soaps, is a fru-fru scent. This same Vie-Long Beehive used to be in my den, but I sold it, because the previous owner had worn it hard. Snagged this one on the Bay, along with a backup bottle of Meehan Bay Rhum. I chose my Gem Clog-Pruf MMOC and used a Gem Blade, which had maybe 3-4 shaves. Bad choice. That's some Beehive, am I right? Can I get a Hooah? The blade was over the edge Not rough, but dull, I resisted...to some extent the urge to make multiple strokes over the same area Results on my neck were...meh. Thayer's Witch Hazel and Bulldog ASB to the rescue.
Oh, as an addendum, not only am I shaving exclusively with Mitchell's Wool Fat, I have been using their batch soap for many years now. Terrific product.
I just placed an order with Gifts and Care from Spain. I threw in a MWF puck as it was 9.50 Euro. $10 USD/$13 CAD. Good prices. I got two bottles of Myrsol Emulsion, the MWF puck, a LEA puck and a LEA stick shipped here for the same price as the Emulsion would cost me here without tax…not sure of their MWF bath soap prices. What you see the price listed as isn’t the ‘real’ price as we don’t pay the euro tax they include.
Unfortunately, Gifts & Care won't ship splashes to the US any longer. I bought several LEA shave sticks and 1 LEA shave cream while I was in Barcelona. The price is the local grocery was unreal. I loved the stuff so much, I bought the matching splash here in the US. Let us know what you think of the LEA.
Shouldn’t have had an Old Fashioned after work…just placed a 2nd order tonight. From a Canadian place for some Myrsol Lemon on sale in the original bottle and some fave Marvis toothpastes. Must get offline.
The Emulsion has no alcohol, will keep it at the lake when my skin gets dry. Got one for my son as well. On a bit of a Myrsol kick after loving the F Extra. Yes, will let you know how the LEA puck does.
March 3, 2023 Supply Co. V2 Schick Proline Thäter 4125/3 Mitchell’s Wool Fat Speick After Shave Happy Friday Everyone. Five straight workday shaves. I have not done that since last April. Even better, the shave this morning was pure luxury. Lathering the MWF with the Thäter brush was delightful. The Supply Co V2 paired with a Schick Proline just flat works for me. It should since I have a case of these blades. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.
Day 9 I’m getting perfect lathers every day with the Haslinger. A very nice byproduct of the 3017 focus.
Back to reality... Day Twelve of my MWF 3017 Challenge. Was such a great shave, the Rubberset rocked some super suds. The RFB is my new favorite Gillette 3 piece. (See what I did there?) Then this happened Mr. Fumble-Fingers knocked it off the shelf. Ruined a perfectly, satisfying shave.
