    The most evilthinking ones will evilthink I am yearning for a... human contact.
    I am not!
    My foresight has allowed me to have virus-free company : it is freeze-dried! Have just to add 40/50 liters of water and... ...and voilà: mate's ready!

    The painful window shortage is due to the filthy hour I'm up at.
    And I hope you will appreciate the incredible creativity and photographic technique that allowed me to offer you a masterpiece worthy of Oppenheimer!

    I woke up Atkinsonphile and I do not regret my choice: intoxicating scent and lather as already mentioned.

    My shave had many fans: I got a standing ovation at the supermarket and had to sign a lot of autographs.

    Thursday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Arko Stick
    Tom's 3D Printed Brush
    AutoStrop A1
    Gem Blue Star
    CWR
    Clubman Pinaud AS

    The Arko Shave Soap Stick face-lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the AutoStrop A1 with a Gem Blue Star SE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Clubman Pinaud AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Thursday morning:

    Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Derby day 6
    Bundubeard Klipspringer’s Kick SS
    Prep ASB
    Aqua Velva Sport AS Splash

    I had so much fun with the Klipspringer soap - that scent is so beautiful, the lather worked up thick, rich as well as slick for me, and the menthol sensation felt great - not intense but still most pleasant. I must say that as a rule I’m not a big fan of glycerine soaps but Jaco’s are an extreme exception. The Prep and the Aqua Velva Sport aftershave were a delightful finish. A smashing three pass BBS shave which I enjoyed so much!

    Be safe and healthy!

    Decided to end April with one of my favorite vintage razors. I was fortunate to source this NOS LaResche 51 from the very end of their safety razor production. It’s a marvelous shaver. Since I have to be out of the house for the rest of the day, I decided to keep things brief today. My oldest son sent back my heavy (1 lb) Rearden 316L SS handled synth knot brush. It’s much heavier than other brushes, but the synthetic knot is unique in that this type of knot is usually used in make up brushes. It’s softer than my other synthetics and seems to retain water better. It generated a great 6 drop M-Bomb salted MWF lather for my two and a half pass (WTG, ATG, ATG) face and noggin BBS shave this morning. I feel clean, cool, smooth and refreshed today!

    RAZOR: LaResche 51
    BLADE: Polsilver (2)
    PREP: Cold water rinse
    BRUSH: Rearden Razor 316L SS Synth Knot
    SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat salted with 6 drops of M-Bomb
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with Glyce Glycerin soap followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with Murray & Lanman Florida Water AS/Cologne
