I'm heading in the right direction...

This evening's shave:
Glyce soap wash followed by Myrsol Emulsion
Phoenix & Beau Sanskrit - first time use and excellent it was too!
Duke 3 Best Badger brush
EHDE89 + Voskhod (3...I think!)
Meissner Tremonia Himalayan Heights AS
GFT West Indian Lime skin food balm

View attachment 20396

Sort of an Indian/Himalayan/Sanskrit type link going on here...I believe, in Sanskrit 'Himalaya' means 'Abode of snow'...well there ya go then!

Really good, comfortable shave...now for a glass of red, a bucket of chicken drumsticks and a classic movie...still not sure what.
Have a very good evening one and all!

superb shaving set up..excellent photo.

Cool pic, cool brush.

Cool pic, cool brush.

Thanks, that EJ brush has become one of my favorites.
It's a tad floppy but for some reason it 'works' for it.

That's very kind of you! A thousand blessings on you, sir!

It's always been a dilemma for me as my mirror is attached to the wall in an easterly direction...that's why I end up with so many cuts

 

[Greybeard]

You and barbiere both posting pics with the same EJ brush and both making me as envious as hell! Both posting cool pics too!
BTW...where did you get the brush?...I've not seen it on EJ's website

My Kents are a bit floppy but they work well enough for me!

I'll be keeping the Razorock, for now. It just doesn't seems to create any resistance to pick up the soap or against the side of the Aesop stainless steel bowl. Personally it seems too soft.

I'm looking at getting a ceramic bowl or scuttle. I'll try the Razorock again and see what affect it has on the lather.

As you mentioned, you and many other have the exact opposite to my experience.
I did buy the Razorock due to the overwhelming positive reviews...As the saying goes YMMV.

Cheers
Rob.

Have you tried face lathering with it?
