What a great shave with a great shaving brush. It packs quite a punch but very nice. It literally lathers anything you throw at it. It reminds of my SOC 2Band but smaller mixed with premium boar bristles. Also read the ingredients in this balm and it actually has alcohol. I always wondered why I would get a little sting after applying but nothing painful thankfully. Friends, you have a nice day!

Greetings B&Bers,


Wednesday August 15th, 2012


Coffee: Papua New Guinea Kimel Estates Jamacia Blue Mountain Varietal
Prep: Hot Cloth face wash with MRGLO
Preshave: Edwin Jagger Preshave Cream
Soap/Cream: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Razor: Merkur Futur Satin
Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux
Brush: Vulfix 404 Boar/Badger Mix
Lather: Face & Hand
Passes: WTG, XTG, ATG
Post: Warm/Cold water rinse with Thayer Witch Hazel AF w/ Aloe
AS/ASB: Men-ü


So I followed Marco's Wiki advice and used warm water, my Vulfix mixed, swirled over 100 times, worked the lather and added a few water drops here and there... OK... Got a great shave with some good lather. But wow it was a fair amount of work during my break time. This one still needs a couple more shaves before i decide if it keeps a permenant residence in the den. The Futur is doing a great job but it sure is a boat anchor!
