Greetings,

(Wool Fat lanolin Based Shaving Soap Week.)

A new shave set up to start the weekend...Recently i have had been having some wonderful shaves with my wool fat lanolin based shaving soaps so for all my shaves this week i shall be using them....Starting off with MWF. I absolutely love this soap once I stopped trying to figured out how to get the best from it.... "Being on a over zealous quest to achieve perfection from any shaving soap or any shaving item as a matter of fact is pointless IMHO".. I have realised you just loaded it up with a damp brush, add water to the tips of the brush in between each pass and hey presto it creates an acceptable slick lather. Some shaving soaps and creams, however work better than others, but all create an acceptable lather with a little patience & effort.

I like the mild lavender/spicy scent of MWF which isn't an "overpowering in your face scent" like some other shaving soaps have. On a personal note a shaving soap fragrance isn't that important to me as once I've rinsed my face with water the fragrance has virtually disappeared...What is important is a shaving soap provides slickness glide, protection and a good post shave feel, MWF does all this and more.

A close comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report... Finishing to the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd The Man EdT to the pulse points

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

Soap Henri et Victoria Cognac & Cuban Cigars
Brush Yaqi 24mm Silvertip
Razor Torrey 5/8 Near Wedge
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Henri et Victoria Cognac & Cuban Cigars Balm
Terrific aromatic cognacish & cigarish scent! Creamy and slick enough for the task...
Another shave with this razor prior to being sent for some work. Overall was ok in 3passes for only sas result. No weepers but some sunburn-like irritation. Although smooth and sharp enough, a part of the edge needed work. Matching aftershave balm was awesome.
