I find (now) it's all about faith (yeah, just to amplify the zealotry that surrounds the soap) ... and probably why I got it so right when I first came to traditional shaving.

You get your brush soaked and flick out the water so it's practically too dry (something I would likely have done as a beginner) ... have faith. Then, load up with maybe 10-15 swirls in either direction which more experience shavers might feel is not enough ... again, have faith. Get lathering and it just comes together.

Paul,

We must not fear The Fat, but embrace it and learn of it's strange and wonderful ways.

My faith (in the Fat) is strong.

Cheers!

I picked the set up from Anticatura. I've ordered from them before, actually where I got this razor and previously my replated slim.

Always worth keeping an eye on them as they sometimes get in different US brands and manage to get the matching EDPs on occasion.

Today i dug out the Egyptian Ingram's from the "box of plenty", 1st use for me.
From the off i was getting a synthetic odour as i was lathering it, maybe tea tree? not sure. It made a very nice lather mixed in the Captain copper heavyweight with the Duke 3 and plenty of it.
The Lupo was spot on fitted with the aging Wizamet, i think today was shave #8.
2 passes and done for a very nice BBS finish, during the rinse off i did notice a nice bit of post shave slip on the face.
A nice post shave routine with the Proraso Green balm and splash leaving my skin soft, supple and very cool.
Overall, a nice shave.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

Am rather cautious with my Shaves at the moment as my face is very dry and is easily irritated. No problems with the Shave but somehow cut the side of my nose well away from any Shave areas.

Yes Shubs, I fully agree, it was a momentary lapse of
reason, I feel so ashamed to have even thought about turning by back on the fat,
Please forgive me, hail the fat!

Second shave with the Spoiler, this time in the milder Feather Popular razor.
Thought I'd break out the original Floid Blue aftershave as I have the modern Epsilon coming which is supposed to smell just like it. I certainly hope it does!
