Veleiro Pre soap + Razorock XXX + New Forest 2213 Silvertip + Weber ARC with UFO U2 "Long" handle and Astra #2 + 4711 splash with LEA balm
Today I have tested the Weber ARC head with my UFO handle... and for those who has these handles a must to say: yes, they shave well! Although the UFO handle has less grip than the Weber Bulldog, the extra long and weight supply that by far. A really good shave, gentlemen!

OK, new soap...... just couldn't get the lather right!! Should have used the 'Duke', that is my goto brush for MWF/KENT. Had to salvage the shave by finishing off with the Merk + Astra... but the end result was still BBS with no irritation.... surprisingly, it turned out to be a fantastic shave. Need more time with Mike's soap, which left my skin feeling great...can't wait to get it right!!
Shaved with the new Harris Windsor soap and my newly purchased/received Chubby 3 Best this morning....the usual D.R. Harris performance (slick, cushion filled lather) with a fantastic scent...To me it's like a cross between Arlington & Marlborough...Meaning I detect the leather, some spice and citrus notes. The Chubby 3 is just flat out monster sized awesomeness! It demolished the Windsor soap in no time and actually felt like it had better flow thru than my Chubby 1 & 2.
Enjoy your Saturday gents!
