Love that Krona! They're well-built solid shavers. I shaved with the same one for 50 years until it gave up the ghost.

Check out new SOD posting showing retail package and original branding of this razor. Cheers Pat

Brush: Semogue Owners Club Boar
Cream: Lea Menthol
Razor: Wolfman WR2
Blade: Super Iridium BN-84 (6)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel; Proraso Green Aftershave Splash
Scent: Mancera Cedrat Boise EdP

Sticking with the Spanish cream theme; this time my first use of Lea Menthol. Very easy to lather; produces lots of lather from a small to average amount of cream, and a very good performer. The scent reminds me of Kapo Fresh from Bulgaria, which is a good thing, as this is one of my favourite creams. The menthol strength of the Lea cream is slightly more vigorous than Kapo Fresh, and right in my sweet spot. Three passes for a BBS result.

TGIF Shallow Angle Shave​

Preshave Preparation: Hot towel. No shower due to spinal injection yesterday.
Preshave: Proraso White Preshave & Mitchell’s Wool Fat protolather.
Shave bowl/Scuttle: Savanna Shave Scuttle
Brush: West Coast Shaving Ancient Stone synthetic
Razor: Rockwell 6S #4 plate 3 passes
Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless shave 18
Soap/Cream: The Fat
Postshave: Bosom Alum Block followed by face wash with The Fat
Postshave Treatment: Hyaluronic Acid on a damp face followed by First Aid Moisturizer.
Results: I got away with three passes today chasing a BBS shave using a shallow angle on all three passes. I got the BBS shave with no visible irritation, but the alum block told me that there was irritation all over my face. The hyaluronic acid and moisturizer made it all better.

Sorry that my photo isn’t awesome. I don’t have time in the mornings to set up a nice shot.

Razor: Worlds Finest Safety Razor
Blade: Wilkinson Sword (3)
ASL: Proraso Red

WFSR Shave 28:
Another very nice shave.

The new kid on the block today is the DS Cosmetic two band badger brush. Its 26mm knot is way bigger than my preferred 16mm to 20mm range, but one needs to step out of one's box every now and then.

I gave it my usual "new brush pre-shave prep" before using it this evening. For the first use of an unfamiliar brush it performed really well. My only problem was figuring out how to move it from A to B when it was already covering both.

Of course, in the name of "science" one must persevere. So I intend using it for seven consecutive shaves, to discover if MASSIVE brushes are for me in the long term, or not.


Happy shaves guys.

26mm is my favorite size, I hope it treats you well!
