Blade –Feather Pro (1)
Brush –Rudy Vey with Shavemac Finest
Lather – MdC
Post - Witch Hazel, Dove AS Balm and CC Bay Rum AS



I had loaned the Mongoose to a friend to try out. Got it back about the time my Hempel Ti handle arrived so decided today was a great day to use both. Fantastic 3 pass shave this morning. No nicks, weepers or irritation at all. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

 

Thank you for your kind words, the Blue Tip's in nice shape almost as new

 

Mark, thank you for your overly kind words.

Still trying to finish off the last of the Al's SC in the tub. I am always amazed at how long it takes to use the last little bit. It seems to never end!

 

Ahhh... Much better. WTG, XTG, minimal touch up and I'm good. Just some slight stinging on the neck but not bad at all.. Oh so smooooth.

 

Wonderful picture, Kevin! You do great things with light and shadows.

3 passes today. I added unscented MDC into my normal rotation and plan to use it mixed with something that smells delicious. Regular MDC is still in my normal rotation, so now I get twice as much MDC as before.

unscented MDC W/ TOBS Almond
Rapira Platinum Lux
Slim adjustable

 

Actually it is all origional. I picked it up at an estate sale last September. It's my "White Whale". I believe I'm the only one to have ever used it. I've only used it a few times and it is truly a treat. If I ever need one of my Gillettes replated I will contact Chris Evatt at Razorplate. He has a very good reputation.

 

Thank you for your kind words, Patrick.

03/21 – I received a sample of St. Charles Bay Rum SS and it is outstanding. Super slick and thick. Has anyone purchased St. Charles before? I had never heard of it until it showed up as a freebie. Overall today’s shave was a very nice BBS.

Razor: ATT R1
Blade: Platinum Lux (2)
Soap: Cella
Brush: VDH Boar
Bowl: VDH (to soak brush)

Great shave today but did get a weeper or two from trying to hard to BBS the rough areas. One would think I would know better by now!

Thx.

 

What an excellent find. Last post I had seen a while back was that Chris is nearly caught up but not accepting new orders. I had my Fatboy re-plated by Razor Emporium and they did a fantastic job but with me looking at possibly 3 re-plates I may split them up to compare the quality of work.
