"He got it one piece at a time" -J. Cash

Kent BK4 - Kent/MWF - Old Type/EJ DE 89/New Norfolk - Cool Water



Spend enough years on E-Bay and you end up with a large box of razor parts. Sometimes I dig around in the box(s) and put together razors just to see what happens. This combo is actually pretty good and a very good shaver! Well it really shaves just like a EJ with a shorter lighter handle but you gotta admit, it looks good.

 

Sunday - Canada Day
Merkur 37C
Gillette 7 o'clock yellow
Simpsons Berkeley
Cella
Pinaud Moustache Wax

Beautiful shave, however this Berkeley lost 6 more hairs this morning alone - starting to get me right angry, considering my Chubby is in perfect condition and has been through worse conditions. Just using the wax right now to train the hairs really, even though there's no need to hold anything.

The funny thing that my yesterday's shave was very nostalgic. It was Jeff who gave me a nice set of stuff, that is now all my favorite. DVH, Gada Cool Mint cream, Palmolive stick are among them. Thank you very much, Jeff, my friend!

Merkur 23C/Feather
Vie-Long horsehair brush
De Vergulde Hand soap (all-time favorite in my collection!)
Cold water splash
The set up is completely the same with that I shaved 2 years ago. Memorable and glossy smooth shave! My first Feather blade was quite a fear for me, as I can remember .

 

Sunday!

Cool Shower
Green Marvy Mug
TGN Black Badger Re-Knot
TSD Malachite SS
Lord L6

This is an awesome blade. Shave three feels exactly like shave one. I'm anxious to see how shave four goes.

Have a great rest of your Sunday!

 

Dmitry, it was such a pleasure for me to send you these things - enjoy them, and think of me!

 

Shawna, out of curiosity, how does the Malachite soap smell?
