Another boar-ing day and this little brush worked well. It's very small so had to go back to the soap for the second pass but, to me, that's no big deal. Also, used the E3 for the first time in a very long time and got a wonderful shave from it. Wonder why I've left it on the shelf for so long. Anyway, my face is happy and all is well. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Have a great day!​

 

Razor Envy!!

 

Agreed. Heidelberg had some beautiful churches. Outside of Italy, Germany had some of the most beautiful church structures inside and out that I have seen. Never made it to the Theater though. My wife didn't civilize me until we got back stateside

 

Better late than never, Guy.

 

Thank you, sir. The Senator can be had on Ebay for not too much $$. Not like the OC Aristocrat. (Still eluding this shaver)

 

Bon Viwednesday
I went ATG first on both sides today and it felt more rough than yesterday and left a little irritation and a couple weepers. I think I'll go back to the WTG first for a bit.

Happy Shaving one and all.

Last Nights SOTD
Prep: Hot Shower
Soap: FCSS Dickens( sample otherwise I’d post a pic of the soap)
Razor: 15/16 Wade & Butcher restored by Jason Underwood
Aftershave: Small Batch Shave tonic Winter Reserve
Brush: M&F 28mm 2XL Finest badger

Very happy with Jason’s new “magic polish” minimal scratch marks (from sanding) left on the blade and the new stains gave it enough pizazz that you don’t want to put them down. What also surprises me is that the scales are designed so well that you would have thought they came direct from the factory! Aside from the particular design I requested to be done these razors look OEM. It was an absolute excellent job! The M&F is still for sale but I took down the sale post because I wanted to use it. The knot on this brush is awesome, lots of backbone and very soft when wet...( if you say that’s what she said to this... I know a pharmacist that can help) great brush but the handle isn’t to my liking because of its stalky figure. FcSs soaps are excellent! The scents are very comfortable and lather is explosive! Post shave is also very nice leaving the skin soft and clean.

Excellent shave!

It's a good season for pine-based scents.
