Merkur long handle barber pole razor Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge (yellow) Edwin Jagger medium best badger Mama Bear Hydrogen soap Clubman Lime Musk I seem to have overcome any challenges with the Mama Bear and am getting a great lather consistently now. Where the Merkur (and anything besides the Slim Adjustable & Fatboy) had been doing enough damaage for my middle son to ask me what I did to my face, this morning I concentrated on technique and got a near-perfect shave -one missed strip on the right side of my neck that's going to drive me crazy all day. Question: do you make your lather before the hot towel and let it sit in your bowl, or do you make the lather after the hot towel? My compromise the past few days has been to load my brush before, but make the lather afterwards. -Tom

Merkur 33C w/ Wilkinson White Label (3) Simpson's Colonel Best Badger Brush Proraso S/S Shavex Alum Bar Italian Floid A/S Varon Dandy Colonia This Merkur razor and the Wilkinson blade seem to be a perfect match. I shaved with this combo yesterday and today, and my face feels great. --Previous Message-- : Sunday Night: : : Gillette Tech razor (gold, thick handle) : Treet Dura Sharp "Classic" blade : (carbon steel with PFTE coating) : : Semogue 2015 silvertip brush : Cella soft shaving soap : : Thayer's Peach Witch Hazel (Astringent: 10% : alcohol, no -parabens, no burn) : : : I got my kilo of Cella, and what a wonderful : soap it is!

Monday evening, on a two day growth: Omega Sintex, 90018 Body Shop Maca Root Shave Cream Super Adjustable, set at 3,4 Treet Blue Special, 3rd shave Thayers Lemon Body Shop Razor Relief Just enough left in my .5 oz. sample of Maca Root Shave Cream for tonight's shave. This Treet Black Beauty was somehow smoother than Saturday's shave, yet BBS. I'm happy to get a third shave from this blade, but don't plan on going for a fourth. There was a Schick Krona loaded with a 7o'clock yellow waiting in the wings today, just in case... --Previous Message-- : Sunday Night: : : Gillette Tech razor (gold, thick handle) : Treet Dura Sharp "Classic" blade : (carbon steel with PFTE coating) : : Semogue 2015 silvertip brush : Cella soft shaving soap : : Thayer's Peach Witch Hazel (Astringent: 10% : alcohol, no -parabens, no burn) : : : I got my kilo of Cella, and what a wonderful : soap it is!
