* Guy, wonderful pic!

Domingo 11:
- Jabón: Barrita Valobra
- Brocha: Eldruida Barbería HWM 20mm
- Navaja: Antonio Pedrosa 8/8 barber notch
- After: Loción casera de alcohol de romero + manzanilla + mentol.

Grandísimo afeitado. Esta nueva brocha es una delicia. Super suave pero con la rigidez adecuada para atacar a cualquier jabón. Aparte con este tipo de mango largo, cuando se espuma no se manchan los dedos de jabón.
La navaja es una maravilla, con los asentados que le he dado en los últimos afeitados se ha vuelto muy suave, y pese a estar muy vaciada, como flexa poco, no es nada agresiva.
El after es genial para esta época, ya que deja mucho frecor.

My photograph is about six shaves into that container. I've found that the Muhle brush is very good at creating lather with very little product and that MdC does not need to be soaked during a shower like I've done with some other soaps. I'd be a little disappointed if this soap only lasted me four months, but it performs so well that I would buy more without much of a second thought. I do have a puck of Sampson's shaving soap that came in a kit from TSS that is about 90% similar to MdC in every respect and only about 40% of the cost. I may try to get rid of that first before re-upping the MdC.

* I am still trying to work on that! However, the way things are going, I don't see it happening!

Yeah straights aren't for everyone and especially kamisoris.

I will continue to tease you about it though

Momma Day

My 28-year old son, visiting for the weekend, asked, "why the heck do you have so many brushes?"
My wife defended my obsession. Best mom in the world to my two favorite young people on earth.
