Menuda navajita ésta Herder antigua,la envié a afilar porque creía que su sonrisa estaba mal de asentarla y es que son así estas viejas navajas alemanas.He conseguido un apurado perfecto sin irritaciones ni nada claro está que también me ha ayudado mucho con el deslizamiento el estreno de este jabón Mexicano que también me ha sorprendido mucho,su espuma muy cremosa ha sido la guinda del pastel.

Another colorful setup, Barry. I have heard that Vitos is a pretty good performer; I've never given it a try.

Thank you,Ron..Vitos is a wonderful performer, i've yet to try Vitos (Green), but if your familiar with Cella the red Vitos matches it's performance and qualities..well worth trying, if and when you do so.Regards.Barry

How do you like the clone's performance, Sammy? Have you shaved with the Merkur Futur? I wonder how close the clone is to the original's shave. I've seen different opinions, varying from "just like it" to "it has a few problems".

I like the sense of depth in your layout. Neat variation on this photo treatment. I've been thinking about using one of them.

Razor: Blackland Black Bird
Blade: PermaSharp Super (1)
Soap: Crowne & Crane Citrus Melange
Brush: Maseto 30 mm Finest​

Fine looking high angle view of your array, Josh. I like Crowne & Crane so I'm going to have to try that Citrus Melange.

 

[ronweston]

No worries, Ron, I hope that I can help in any way. The dimpled Timeless handle is the perfect length for me (85 mm) and has a good bit of weight to it; I never feel like it's slippery, I like this handle much better than the barber handle that my Timeless originally came with.
The Jamestown Gentleman has such a wonderful scent, it's a flowery, green tobacco; you can also get a whiff of neroli and lavender but they are very light. I love that scent, it's so unique.
The Maseto brush, I could go on and on about them, I have three...one in each color. They perform like a $250 brush and they cost less than $60, it's hard to believe. If you don't have one, I highly recommend that you grab one. I just can't say anything bad about them, great brushes.
I recommend the soap as well or you can wait till August when they will be offering the pre-order for the Jamestown Gentleman Special Edition...it will contain the coveted donkey milk and hops.
I hope that helps Ron, enjoy your Sunday!

Thanks for the information, Josh. I think I'm going to get two of the Maseto brushes. I want the long handled Memphis in 24mm. And I'll probably get the classic shape in 24mm. The 30mm is tempting but I think I'd find it too large. The largest brush I have is 28mm and it is a monster.
