Late evening shave. A pretty one, and crazy efficient again... two passes made my skin 100% BBS. I likely won’t need to shave tomorrow, this thing shaves so damn close... awesome
Cheers!

Disappointing shave this morning. I dug out a puck that I'd purchased from a local soap maker quite some time ago. Lather was thin and couldn't get it to come together. Gave up on it, wound up doing 2 wtg passes and chucked the soap in the trash.
This is the second time I've tossed a local companies' soap. The last one I had even included another puck in a PIF to @emwolf . I must apologize to him for not having tried it before sending one on to him. Such a kind soul, I'm certain he'd never mention it was a poor performer.
So I am done with shave soaps that I know nothing about. I'll have to support those little mom and pops by sticking to their bar soap for the shower.
Happy shaves!

Timeless Ti .68 with Q Shave (made in USA) blade, Semogue 830 and SV 70th
Hey Guys
It's time to catch up and get back with the program. Kathy and I have spent a few
days in Branson, MO. We had a great time with friends but our schedule was so busy
I didn't make time to do any posting. I used this combo from last Thursday thru Sunday.
They were all great shaves. But alas, as the saying goes, it's good to be back home again.
I'll post later today with a new Muhle/MdC post.
Please take care of yourself and each other.

GRUME-30/31er
Hello friends,
Cloudy Monday around here. Today, I opted for a classic shave: Edwin Jagger 89, Feather, Mitchell’s Wool Fat, Omega Jade and Lilac Vegetal.
Ir’s always good to remember what a wonderful razor the EJ89 is. The old-fashioned choice of a smooth razor and a sharp new blade always delivers enormous pleasure. Above all, comforted by the protection of MWF. And, well, as for Veggie, my friends, it looks like I'm one of the chosen. But, I must confess that now that I smell like cat pee, my dog is giving me the strangest look…
Accompanying this adventure, the great Bill Evans Trio.
Have a nice week and great shaves!

This is a fabulous trio I look forward to on Mondays. MdC is #1 on my personal list of top tier soaps. I always have to keep adding more water for it to reach it's slickness potential.
It is good to be back home after a nice visit to the Ozark mountains.
Please take care of yourself and each other.

Day 28 and still in. New edge was very comfortable, but I somehow missed a spot under my chin, so am ruing the rushed shave There is always tomorrow (one hopes)!

In comparison have you used any of the other MdC scents, and if so which is your favorite? I think MdC is amazing and am looking to invest in a puck!!!MdC/Muhle Mondays!
