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!


Cheers!

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. :001_smile Need more time with Mike's soap, which left my skin feeling great...can't wait to get it right!!

Good Morning! Great to be back home in Miami

MR GLO
Gillette Fatboy (set @ 5)
Gillette Rubie
Simpson Chubby 3 Best
D.R. Harris Windsor shave soap
Alum block
Witch hazel w/peppermint & aloe
Clubman Special Reserve A/S

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!
