Machine: Timeless 0.95 scallopped open comb / UGO goliath prototype
blade: Polsilver super iridium
brush: Doug Korn / NC envy white
soap: AP Reserve Fougere Bourbon Rose
splash: WK La fougere parfaite

I was making a so nice lather that even @alfredus would be proud of me, and then I realized that I left the phone on the car.... so no pic today. Because I have 1.5 soaps of Fougere bourbon rose and just one bottle of splash, and I always abuse splashes, I will be using this one alternating with FBR to keep the FBR alive for longer term.

It was a great shave!

Too bad about the forum’s strict “pics or it didn’t happen” rule.

Especially when you consider that I spent $85 on my Thäter Premium Boar and that brush was total trash. I have since had that re-knotted with a Declaration Grooming B5.

Pictures of that brush (the Thater handle with a new knot) would be cool.

Happy shaves,

Jim

Thanks Patti.

Well, we like to help one expand their horizons and pull them away from the boob tube, at least for two minutes. C&C has been sitting on the shelf for a year so thought it time to give it some attention and will follow suit with two other neglected soaps that have sat for a year as well sometime in the coming week.
