Wimmie Scuttle

Tcheon Fung Sing Bergamotto Neroli Forte
Fine American Blend


I don't expect you guys to understand the extreme weather conditions
and temperatures of -1 and - 2 degree that we have to deal with here in Holland
but let me tell you it justifies the use of a scuttle!

A tuft of the Tcheon Fung Sing Ambassador in the scratching
of the hot scuttle was more than enough to give a loat of warm, thick, creamy soap,
which the deductive readers of my SOTD's will know, I do love so much..

Three passes with the ED 89 gave a damn smooth finish.

More than enough soap left again so I latherd up just for the feel of the warm soap.

Tcheon Fung Sing Bergamotto Neroli Forte balm for the skin protection ( against the extreme weather)
and a huge splash of Fine American blend for the Happy End.

If this isn't shaving as shaving was intended I don't know what is!!!

Ready for a cappuccino with ....

Have a nice day everyone.

La Toja Magno Soap
Fitjar Slåtterøy Shaving Cream
Vulfix 27mm Synthetic Brush
Ever-Ready 1924 with a GEM SS Blade
Thayers Witch Hazel
Palmer's for Men Moisturiser
TOBS Bay Rum

Another face feeling shave and a good (shaving) start to the week.

Out of interest.....Vulfix is made/owned by Simpson now. Could the fibre used in the Vulfix synthetics be the same as that used in the Simpson offerings?

Jayaruh No 67- Maggards 2 Band
La Toja Stick
ES Claymore V1 / EJ89 Handle
Schick Proline [ 8 ]
La Toja A/S Lotion

Though I have liked Shaving with my Alu. AC/SE Razors, there is no doubt that for me the Heavier S/S provide me with a better Shave. Today I used the hefty Claymore with a lighter handle, and though it is very head heavy I was able with a very light touch to get a truly smooth and comfortable Shave. The quality of the Shave finish is without doubt far superior to those that I got with the Alu. Razors over the weekend, less Shave Time due to greater efficiency.
That La Toja is real nice to use, so have ordered some more which I will grate into a bowl to make a puck [ cake ].
