Two Pass Shaving Routine..:cool:

Hot Water Prep & Massage with Argan Oil
C. Myers & Sons Sheffield Full Hollow 6/8th
Hans Baier Silver Tip
Phoenix & Beau Tallow Soap
Logona Mann Balm

I Had an Early Morning Shave with My C. Myers & Sons Sheffield Full Hollow 6/8th.. This Razor was Popping Hanging Hairs Straight from this NOS Yellow Lake Branded Finishing Oil Stone that arrived in the Post Today..This Sheffield Provided Me with a Lovely Shave Straight from the Stone without Pastes when I Test Shaved it..I Happen to like to Finish on Pastes..My Preference..So I Hit it with 7 Sets on 0.5 Chro/Ox..o_O

The Edge from the Yellow Lake is as Smooth & Keen as the Edges from My Escher Thuri & My Arkansas Surgical Black..This Particular Stone I have is a Superb Finishing Hone..My Sheffield has Taken a Superb Shaving Edge from this Yellow Lake Stone..Its a Keeper for Sure..;)

I Am Dolphin Smooth & Refreshed..:D

​
Pre Shave: Hot Shower, L'Oreal Hydra Power Face Wash and Proraso white
Razor: Merkur 45C
Blade: Shark Super Chrome (#3)
Brush: Kent BLK4
Soap: Lea Classic
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Humphreys witch hazel
AS: Lucky Tiger Bay Rum

First two shaves with the Shark Super Chrome blade were not inspiring (iKon 101 and Fatip Piccolo), however in the Merkur 45C it performs great. Not exactly true BBS but a really close and smooth shave. I know which razor I will be using the rest of these blades in.

Razor...Muhle R41 (2011)
Blade...Iridium Super #1
Soap...OSP peppermint and Rosemary
Brush...Brad Sears...Gonzo 24mm silvertip
Post...Thayers lavender
EDP...L'Aventure. Al Harramain



A great shave, the R41 behaved its self and didn't bite me, the super soft Brad Sears gonzo brush I aquired from @Looney12345 and it's the softest silvertip......as soft as a cloud. Thanks mate :) a real pleasure to use and soon whipped up a wonderful lather from the OSP.
Finnished with a spray of L'Aventure by Al Harramain, the perfect bank holiday shave.

Have a great bank Holliday weekend people.......:)
