Mitchell’s Match-up and Mix up

1 Days growth

Hot Water Prep and Preshave = Palmolive Lather shave regular
Cream/Soap = MWF lathered straight over the pre-shave
Brush = Vulfix Old Original Sovereign travel 2189 (22 mm knot)
Bowl = face
Razor = Gillette Aristocrat ~1947
Blade = Permasharp (3) still great
Passes = 2 +
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayer’s rose petal, L’Occitane Cedrat
ASL = Imperial Leather
Scent = English Leather Aftershave Splash

Score = 9.9 / 10
Damage = none

MWF worked out find just dipping back into the bowl for each pass and adding some water

Decided to try the little travel brush today based on Barry’s recent post. It doesn’t hold much lather which is fine for the Fat anyway because it can be dipped back into the puck each time

The Imperial Leather finally gave up the good fight and has been sunk

Overall very happy start to a cooler Tuesday morning in Perth

Have a great day everyone

 

thanks Joe, no point in tolerating a lazy blade

That's a seriously large looking brush that Rooney, but a beauty
interesting that both razors perform differently. I will steer clear of them and stick to my DE and SE

Sounds interesting. I have a few brushes already, but if one or two pack I might look at a mixed badger & boar as a replacement

Thanks Gary

Lovely setup. I've said it before and will say it again: nice brush you got there Gary
Good score on the old spice btw

super shave Joe, if I can spell it or pronounce it I don't want it (nah, just sayin')
Hats off to all you open blade shavers out there

Great looking razor. Congrats and the pick up and the nice trees in the background!

Thanks Joe

Amazing start to the day Joe
I am exhausted just reading about it!

Thanks Joe

Thank you Gary

Really stunning set Gary

Thanks for the tip on the Haslinger. I have enough (too much) soap, but if I was starting out again I would be duly enabled!
Another great shave Barry.

 

Awesome Gary!

 

Terrific shave Chris! Congrats on using up that soap.

 

Thank you Gary...and as you'll see in SOTD, I continued with it today.

March Madness

Razor - Kai Artist Club
Blade -
Soap - Arko
Brush - West Coast Shaving Synthetic

I skipped yesterday so had a two day growth waiting. Still had the blade loaded in the Kai pain stick so I grabbed it, my West Coast brush and my Arko. Quick, easy, and the lather will definitely be slick and plenty of it. Two passes with the pain stick to a very fine finish. No blood on steel today. Good to see I can still handle some bare steel without any problem.

​

 

I never tried a Charcoal-type soap. I guess it's good that the hot stuff is blended in with something(Lavender, in your case).

 

thank you Chris

 

thank you Joe

 

fine tuesday shaves gents.

SRS # 1252

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Wade & Butcher 5/8 French Point
Brush: MrEE Limited Edition #017 Cashmere 24 mm
Lather: Wholly Kaw King of Oud
Aftershave: Razorock Stallion
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

Sweet shave this morning. The WB razor did a phenomenal job removing the one day growth. Three passes without incident.

The MrEE synthetic brush whipped up a nice lather sufficient enough to do a fourth pass if I wanted to. There was a fourth application of the lather which is the final step in the shave to leave the face hydrated with all the nice benefits of the face soothing properties of the soap.

Hope you all have had a great day gentlemen.

 

Another fine RazoRock soap shave Gary.

 

Very nice Danny.
