Razor Nichiri King Pelican 6/8 Full Hollow
Brush Yaqi Two Band 26
Soap Bullfrog Secret Potion Nr 1
After Fine American Blend
 
Excellent shave using one of my all time favorite scents.

Craftsman soap co really hit this scent. Bright citrus with a spicy twist. The aftershave and soap work great together for an awesome face feel.

The Rex Ambassador was buttery smooth with a 2nd use Wizamet Super Iridium [emoji7]

>> B&B's Shave Roulette<<

Preshave: frigid tap water.
Brush: Yaqi Tuxedo 28/58 Synthetic
Soap: Barrister and Mann ~ Nordost
Razor: Mühle R89
Blade: Gillette Wilkinson Sword Germany (3)
Post shave: frigid tap water, Stirling Soap Orange Chill AS, witch hazel and psb.

Finally, a sharp blade again. I'm glad that the spin in B&B's shave roulette called for a german Wilkinson Sword, one of my favourite blades.


The shave with this blade 's been an indulgence... the level of comfort has been just day and night to yesterday's shave.

Happy shaves!

SOTD THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 25, 2021

Beautiful morning today, but the snow blanket remains! It’s slated to go to 45°F today, so hopefully, some of it will melt. We all have our favorite straight razors, and mine is the Manhattan Cutlery 13/16. The mug shave was superb. Those 19th century Sheffield cutlers certainly knew their trade. The shave was clean and close, and set the stage for the Colonial Silversmith DE. Those of us who own this safety razor recognize it for the gem it is. I never fail to get an excellent dome shave. I wish more people were aware of Colonial Razor and its superlative razor designer! Kyle Evans knows his business! His General AC and Silversmith DE designs reflect a deep understanding of what works well in a safety razor. His General AC design is on version 2, and is unbeatable when fitted with a Schick Proline or Feather Super. I believe it is the only AC safety razor design that outshaves the Vector. In any case I feel clean, refreshed and porcelain smooth!

RAZOR: Manhattan Cutlery Sheffield 13/16 (Mug), Colonial Silversmith (Dome)
BLADE: Sharp Star DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: MrEE Monster Tuxedo Synth
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Old Spice Original (Indian Version)
