Greetings,

Early morning shave,

A fantastic shave to finish my shaving week off on a high note.

The Derby Usta/EJ DE 89 duo has been outstandingly good. Each and every shave with the Derby Usta throughout the week has been smooth comfortable, & efficient. If i didn't have such a vast amount of DE blades to use up i would put an order in for a 100 Derby Usta's instantly.

A very enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of L'0REAL Barber Club Reinforcing ASB.

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

fine shave and pic Barry. Always have a chuckle when i see"brush squeezings"

 

Gary.

 

you are most welcome

 

Toughen up, Marine. JK

 

Terrific Thursday shave Barry. I didn't know that MWF has a Cedarwood/ Patchouli version. Have a super day!

 

You may have to downgrade that shave from Outta This World Excellent to Just About Nearly Excellent. It appears that you over-harvested Cactus Nation. @Paul Turner, what's the ruling?

Hope you are doing well, Myles. I always enjoy reading your updates. But this one - not so much.

Stay safe!

 

I am officially nervous, Paul.



Keep shaving, keep posting, and we'll keep smashing the Like button.

 

My goodness, you're within reach, Charlie ).

 

My dad had a good laugh when he read a newspaper story where the writer used the term "almost similar to". You're right, Cactus Nation has begun to require some serious work.

 

Joe...You have mistaken the Hampshire Wool Fat Shaving soap for MWF, you are right, which doesn't come in a Cedarwood/patchouli version.
Out of interest here's a link to the maker of the HWF soap. Home | Dr. R. Tantra (wixsite.com)...i have all the HWF /lanolin shaving soap recipes in my humble soap collection, which my mature skin adores....Have a great day.

 

Well, sadly this was a Throwback Thursday shave that didn't go as well as I'd hoped. I need to do much better with MWF. It reminds me of my Williams shaves-you almost can't see what you're shaving. North Porcupine Alley turned out fine, as did the rest of the Northern Hemisphere (cheeks, sideburns-everything above the jawline). More problems with Cactus Nation though. The angling was fine, but the ingrown hair areas weren't. The top right side needs work, I'll say that(oh, I just DID). In fact, I just decided on a replacement for tomorrow-brought out the Stoylin Sheep, and moved the MWF to the back of the bus(den). Hopefully I can fix what's happening down at Cactus Nation with the Sheep. The best part of the shave was the administering of the Bill Neumann aftershave(Heartwood). Great skin food. . Although as I say Northern Hemisphere was great, this one is lucky to get a Pretty Excellent on the whole. My struggles with MWF continue :-(. But don't worry, I won't go on live with a MWF video and say, "I really don't like this soap", like the kid did while doing a Williams video).

 

Thanks for the clarification Barry. For a minute, I thought that I missed something. I appreciate the stuff you use because we aren't familiar with most of it in the States.

 

You will do better tomorrow Paul.

 

Thanks Joe, I know I will. Can't go wrong with Stoylin .
