Pre-Shave: Hot shower + fresh lemon
Razor: 6/8" Dubl Duck Special #1, Full Hollow, Spike Point
Strop: SRD Premium IV (50 linen/75 leather)
Brush: 24mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger
Überlather: CarrieM Bay Rum Shave Creme + Mama Bear's Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap + Glycerin
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
AS Splash: Spanish Blue Floïd (sample)
Result: The little Duck came knocking. Absolutely amazing shave!!! BBS feeling in 3 passes. As part of the continuing chapter in my experimentation with cremes/soaps, I mixed CarrieM's creme with some MWF soap and a little Glycerin...Like yesterday, the resulting lather was awesome (surprise)...thick, super moist and ultra slick. (Subjectively), I felt like this formulation was better able to retain its original moisture and slickness (and for for longer) compared to just glycerin or tallow/lanolin cremes/soaps. A mix of Trumper's moisturizer with a few drops of Spanish Blue Floïd AS splash was all that was needed to finish things up.

First shave in the other bathroom to let the wife get ready. Not looking forward to regularly hauling a potted scuttle, ceramic bowl, and DE razor across the house when I'm barely conscious!

It's amazing to me how the CH2 doesn't feel too big. It looks big, but in practice it's really just perfect - probably due to the density of the knot. Not much flop going on... It's very luxurious on the face, and I'm also able to "spot lather" easily on the mustache area without eating lather or getting it up my nose... which is always a plus![]()
