Soap: Murky and McNeil Ouroboros
Post Care: Stirling Unscented Witch Hazel, Alum
Aftershave: Murphy and McNeil Ouroboros
Excellent shave this morning. This was my first try of any Murphy and McNeil products and I'm very impressed. I took an almond sized sample from the soap and put it in my bowl. It instantly produced a very slick lather, it was very protective, it had great residual slickness and an amazing post shave feel. I love this soap. It easily compares to the top artisans and in many ways exceeds them. I'm blown away by how good this stuff is. Now it was not without complications...SWMBO did not like the scent at all. I'm currently thinning down my den so putting aside a soap that she didn't like has never been a problem, until now. I guess I need to figure out which scent to get instead because I absolutely must have at least one Murphy and McNeil set in my den. Have a great day folks!

Well, the Eufros and brush were a generous PIF from you a while back... I found this scent pairs great with the Guerlain Vetiver. I love the Cronos! Scent is like none other that I've tried. Thank you!!

Thanks Patti. I had hoped that Gibbs 14 or 15 would be right up my alley but unfortunately not the case. Have to give thanks to @Chef Glenn for letting me test drive these two classic shavers.

Greetings,
Another early morning shave,
In one of my recent 'sotd's i used the Proraso sandalwood soap & after shave duo, today i've used the Eucalyptus & Menthol soap & duo which is my favourite duo of all the proraso shaving products i've tried & tested..A superb duo.
Last use of the bolzano s.i. blade, which have became one of my favourite blade's to date, these blade's are smooth sharp & very forgiving. Every razor i've paired them up with has been a excellent match adding to that the longivity of them is astoundingly good.
This morning i've carried on with the Parker 89R, which i haven't added to my razor rotation for long time, a superb razor,and for no intentional reason is the least used of all my parker razor's collection..However after the performance from her this morning i'll be adding it more often in my razor rotation...
It was only recently that this larger efficient voluptuous indian sibling of the Parker 94R featured in a member of TSR (UK) sotd's, that i was reminded me i hadn't gave her a outing for a long time..Today outing was amazingly smooth and efficient.All of my parker indian princesse's shaves have gave me consistantly silky smooth irritation-free shaves today,yet again the 89R was no exception...I've found with experience that you get much better shaving results from parker razors by adjusting to a steeper shaving angle, however this does take a few shaves to adjust, but it's it's worth the effort, as your rewarded with some sublime shaves...Some people may be put off by this and put it down to the razor been too aggressive, or the quality isn't good anough..which is a feeble excuse IMHO.
Any razor can be aggressive, and give you a bad shave it's the disrespectful user, or should i say the 'lack of experience,bad preparation & lacking in technique user of the razor' that makes the shave a bad experience most of the time'."A bad worker always blames his tools".Enough said.
A comfortable in-expensive 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth bbs shave with no errors to report.
Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of L'OREAL~ Soothing Birch Sap Post Shave Balm.
My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.
Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.
Beautiful razor
