    Joe,

    I really like those scales. The brush handle is very nice!

    Thanks David. I appreciate it. It is my 2nd favorite straight in my collection. My favorite is a 10/8 Max Sprecher and I will be shaving with it tomorrow. Here's a pic of the razor, from a prior shave.

    Still experimenting and having fun wirh the same equipment but making minor changes to find what I like.

    Van Der Hagen DE
    Metal Bowel
    Omega Hi-Sunthetic brush

    Okay, so Stirling Batbershop soap is is a good baseline being what I started with, I tried a bar of shower soap, and Stirling is vastly better, but it is good in an emergency to be able to shave with Doge or Ivory.

    Anyway, I tried a 4oz tub of Clubman hard soap, and Stirling is a bit better. I tried Cremo on a brush and it eventually makes good lather that is super slick, BUT the later breaks down quick, so it is best going area by area.

    This far my favorite soap is Paraso. That stuff lathers the best of everything. I have the green and the smell is good but not my favorite.

    Voshkod are what I used, and I don’t like them. They generally tug too much and feel dull. Derby Extra are generally sharper. I got around 1 to 2 shaves. Last time it was borderline too dull, so I removed the blade for disposal after shaving to put my last fresh one in next time.

    This time it was like tweezing hairs out getting stuck. I ABORTED and swapped the blade ro a Gilliette SHARL Green and it was way better.

    I tried Paraso red cream …. Great smell but doesn’t lather as well as the soap.


    I am learning I like a SHARP blade and Paraso hard soap

    Awesome Fat Friday shave. Very nice three passer with just a hint of alum. The Shore Shave made quick work of the Mitchell’s. Everytime I get the Fat out I thing of Jeff @jgreenepa ....... I hope he is well.

    Happy Friday everyone!
