Wow! I think it's been a whole week since I've been able to post an SOTD. My travel shaves were very mundane and the same every day. The best part about this trip was that I got my Scrupleworks strop back. I inadvertently left it in Texas in February. My son had it for safe keeping ( He does use a DE!) and now it is back home. It may be my imagination, but I'm convinced the linen adds something.
Just getting started with DE shaving... but here is my tools of the trade as of tonight. The razor is a Merkur 3 piece (unsure of the model) with a Feather blade. The brush is a Rubberset (unsure of the hair - likely boar). And yes, that is a cappuccino bowl I am using to lather up the cream...
I quite like the scent of the aftershave lotion - and it does a nice job moisturizing, too..

Joris bit me again this morning.
I'll maintain this shave routine until I deplete current ASB and shaving cream. Whichever lasts longer. Then I'll switch to Azzaro PH AS and Fatip Piccolo / Feather / one of JabonMan's masterworks . Until I deplete Azzaro. Fatip is supposed to be in the mail .
This is the plan. I don't doubt I have enough will power for all of this. We'll see how well this all goes.
I doubt I have enough will power for all of this.
I'll be watching this thread like one of Will Ferrell's spider monkeys anyway.
WOW! Now that I've figured out this MW soap, I'm really liking it a lot. I went with a slightly wetter brush to start. The lather was much better hydrated and whipped up into a great lather. I had enough for three passes with lather averaging about 1/4-1/2 inch deep each time. I still need to dial it in just a touch as I got it just on the wet side, but this stuff performs once you do get a stable lather. I recently rehoned the Manaslu (just a full nagura progression touch up) and it was sharp and smooth. I am sporting a CBS, and I am proud to admit it!
