    Razor: Merkur HD
    Blade: Lord Platinum Class
    Brush: Simpson Douglas
    Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
    Cream: Penhaligons Hamman Bouquet Cream (Thanks Bob)
    A/S: Alpa 378

    Wow...what a great shave! I recently received a sample of the discontinued Penhaligons Hamman Bouquet shave cream (great stuff!) and it performed wonderfully. I enjoyed an excellent shave and then followed it up with Alpa 378 aftershave splash. The splash has a mild but pleasant scent and it really soothed my face. This stuff is staying in the rotation!

    59’ Fatboy (setting 7)
    Derby Extra (2)
    Arko/TSD Bourbon Vanilla Blend
    Vulfix 2235 S
    Witch Hazel
    Pinuad Clubman Virgin Island BR


    BBS on 3 passes. Every time I am about to dump my Derbys I get a supurb shave with them, usually in my Fatboy. That razor seems to bring out the best in them. The TSD Bourbon Vanilla was delightful, as was the BR finish.

    Omega Wooden Handle
    Super Speed/new Gillette Rubie
    Mil'niy SC (Russian treasure)
    Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
    JHL AS
    JHL Cologne

    It is unbelieveable how close and smooth this shave was. Only 2 passes, and I'm absolutely BBS. The Mil'niy cream from Russia gets its name because in Russian, Mil'niy meand soapy, and this cream has a very soapy scent. It lathers like a maniac, and gives terrific moisturizing. ;) :D

    Friday

    Prep: Hot shower, pre-heat scuttle
    Coffee: Home roasted Kenya, BLACK
    Soap: Speick, grated into bowl
    Brush: The Dridecker
    Razor: Merkur 34C set in Red Mallee Burl by Elite Razor
    Blade: Dorco ST-301, day 5, 3+ passes
    Post: Cold water rinse, Osage Rub, Curve
    'Stache Wax: Steve's Own

    Shave Rating: 5 Blades

    A superb shave.

    I had stashed away the Red-neck scuttle back during the summer. Seems it kept thinning out my lather during my three-pass shave. I hauled it out again this morning since I'm off from work and figured I could take a little more time with the shave. The Speick held up pretty good this morning. The scuttle kept the lather a bit warmer than my other bowls, but not enough of a difference for me to want to spend the money I've seen some of the fancy scuttles going for. They are nice, just not for me. I'll stash it away again. I'm sure I'll want to revisit it some time in the future.

    Merry Christmas to all!
