Thank you for your kind words, Phil! All of the credit has to go to Doug Korn who turned it.…nice pic and beautiful brush, celestino. A masterpiece of design and elegance, imho.
Gillette Blue II
Semogue 1470
Cella SS
Nivea Moisturising ASB
Third and last shave with the disposable and it's back to good old Mühle R41. Next time i'm on a trip i just might take the de razor with me instead of that crappy plastic razor. Otherwise it's been a real treat to use Semogue 1470 after a long time. Didn't even remember how good backbone that brush have.

My precious last bottle of Mediterranean Citrus is going fast...
I have contacted the lady who now runs SCS and pleaded with her to reintroduce the scent as A/S, if not also cologne, but she said she wasn't sure she still had the formula
(Help me Obi Wan Kenobi...you're my only hope)

Comments: Today was another straight razor only shave! I did two passes (WTG, XTG), then a cleanup type pass (XTG/ATG). I did have to do some extra cleanup as this shave didn't seem to give me a smooth/close enough shave. I felt more than a couple of areas that could have been closer. No issues with the Soap Commander soap but just maybe I didn't get the lather as good as I should have which probably contributed to the extra work I needed to do to get the shave close enough for me to be okay with it! It is very good soap and works well. A good shave today and I will call it an almost DFS shave! No irritation or nicks!!
Please feel free to leave comments on any items used as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out! Of course, YMMV!
Thx.

I read your enthusiastic review (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showth...e-22-28-2015?p=7485436&highlight=#post7485436), and I figured I'd give it a try, and I have to agree. It's a very unique innovative product, light on the skin, no alcohol, and very refreshing.
Nice photo Cash, it looks totally peaceful there!
You sure know how to capture the beauty of a brush, a stunning photo, celestino, thanks for the props!
Awesome, defying gravity again, I see!
