Pre Shave Cleanser: Noxzema Classic Cleanser
Pre Shave Oil: Dollar General Vitamin E
Shave Soap: Stirling Cocoa Forest
Shave Brush: RR Disruptor Synthetic
Razor: Maggard V3A head/MR5 Handle
Blade: Ladas

After Shave Balm: Stirling Mita

Soap: Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap
Cologne: Avante-Garde by Lanvin

Good morning my friends. This morning I shaved for the first time with my new to me Maggards V3A. On the site the V3A is touted as their "aggressive" closed comb. I can say that if someone is looking for efficiency this is the head to purchase. It will take it all off and in a quick hurry but the ride is smooooth. It's like shaving with my RR Jaws but in a closed version. The MR5 handle has to be hands down the most brilliantly designed handle I've ever used for my shaving needs and let's face it, it's just cool. Stirling cocoa forest is one of my favorite soaps and sadly it's been discontinued. I've been waiting on the Muhle R41 head from Connaught for about 12 days now. Almost forgot, BBS in three passes. Have a great shave and a great day folks.

This is a link to a recital I gave last February. It's Schubert's final song cycle: Winterreise (Winter's Journey). It's not for everybody in the sense that it's a dark, troubling story of a man who has been rejected by his lover and wanders through the land discovering his needs and, quite frankly, wallowing in his own misery. It's in German, so here is a link to some background information and an English translation: https://theoryofmusic.wordpress.com...n-of-schuberts-winterreise-poems-by-w-muller/
It's a 70 minute work, so many of you will not make it through, especially if you are unfamiliar with German art songs, but I understand, and should you choose to listen to any part of it, thank you.

That's funny. One of my best lathering bowls was a Japanese rice bowl. You never know.

SATURDAY
Day 3 of J-West razors and another lovely shave!
This large Fon 'Golden Star Deluxe' takes a killer edge and is smooth as silk. Finished on the SG20k, I can find no flaws in this exceptional shaver. Stirling 'Coniferous' lather (a dash of both glycerin and menthol added) provided an über-slick glide for a near-BBS result. Fine 'Platinum' finish.
Have a great weekend, all!

SHAVE OF the day

Prep: Occams crushed lime
Razor: Gillette superspeed flair tip
Blade: Big Ben (2nd shave)
Brush: RazoRock plissoft
Soap: vintage Palmolive
Post: Myrsol Emulsion

2 pass shave this morning. Just got this soap in the mail yesterday and was looking forward to trying it out. vintage Palmolive made a great lather, seemed to be a bit more slickness than vintage Williams. I wasn't surprised that the scent is long gone, since it is a old soap, but the lather makes up for lack of scent. The brush started to fill with lather almost imediatly when it came in contact with the puck. Very nice smooth shave, only 1 nick because I was not careful enough. Finished off with Myrsol Emulsion which soothes the skin wonderfully. Hope everyone has a great shave!
