Brush: Omega 11047 Mixed Midget 22/48
Cream: La Toja Classic
Razor: Yuma YM-403
Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (8)
ASL: Whiskey Woods

A brilliant shave. :biggrin:
I love La Toja Classic Cream! :001_wub:
Like yesterday's shave, my face is left porcelain smooth and feeling great. Could this be THE ONE? Experiment coming up. :letterk1:

The only member not giving 100% to the team is my dear little SCRITCHMEISTER. I now realize that yesterday's "is baby losing his scritch?" was me not noticing it due to the awesomeness of La Toja. That was shave number 34 with the Mixed Midget. If it hasn't descritched any by shave 40 I'll return to the magnificent Semogue Mistura.


Happy shaves guys. :cornut:

Fri 7th SOTD
Soap Stirling Evie - New & 1st Use
Brush Yaqi 24mm Mountain Lake 2 Band Badger
Razor Karve Brass SB-D
Blade Czech Astra Superior Stainless 1st
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Hyaluronic + Clubman Gents Gin
Another excellent soap from Stirling. Nice scent, creamy and slick lather...
Shave with razor paired with the vintage blade was surprisingly very good. Can feel it's crisply sharp but smooth and comfortable. 3passes for a mostly bbs result. Excellent aftershaves.

Amazingly easy and smooth shave with the Wunderbar today. 3 passes later I’m feeling good. Most satisfying part was that I had no sting with the Alum block, which is probably pure luck, but I’ll indulge myself and say that maybe my technique was on point today:biggrin1:

Soap: Martin de Candre Vetyver
Lather: Face lather with water added from my Captain’s Choice Ceramic Bowl
Razor: Razorock Wunderbar
