    SOTD: Vintage Sheffield-made Frederick Reynolds 7/8," Crowne & Crane 'Cognac & Cubans' soap, TGN synthetic brush, and Route 66 'Cavendish' aftershave balm. Early morning shave and a good one! Excellent pairing of the C&C with the Cavendish finish. Happy Hump Day, all!

    Hi Bob, the Fat Boy is great, got a terrific shave with mine this morning. Just wondering about the # 25 after your Wilkinson blade, are you saying you have gotten 25 shaves from 1 blade? If so, I gotta get me some. With regards, Bill

    Wash - Meissner Tremonia Puristic
    Prep - Noxzema / Hot towel
    Pre shave - Proraso
    Razor – Weber ARC
    Blade – Voskhod
    Brush - 'El Monstruo' (Romera Manchurian 30/50 Fan)
    Soap – Ginger's Garden Octavia Noir
    Post - Witch Hazel, Jojoba oil.

    'El Monstruo', my Romera Manchurian 30/50 Fan, has finally arrived, and it whipped up a storm with Ginger's Garden Octavia Noir, but all was not rosy.. The Weber/Voskhod combo felt tuggy, and Ginger's Garden didn't seem to offer enough protection, even though the lather was very thick, and lush. Which is a shame, because the post shave feel is wonderful...

    Yes Bill-This was my 25th shave with the "Light Brigade". I have used it in 4 different razors. They are hard to find and expensive, but if you are patient, there are some reasonable deals out there.
