Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave)

A new shave set up to start the weekend...I've carried on using the Super-Max Classic Shaving Cream after the wonderful lather that it created with my previous shave...The addition of lanolin in this cream is a superb tonic for my mature skin.

Another close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

The Merkur 37C/Treet Dura Sharp carbon blue pack yet again worked together in smooth efficient harmony.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Fat February shave.
My Shave today consisted of..
Prep Hot water soak.
Brush Highlander LE2023 Badger.
Soap Mitchell's Wool Fat new new formula.
Razors Eveready 1912 and Raz=r
Blade Gem.
Aftershave Jean paul gaultier Scandal.

This was a shave from late last night and I thought I would bring fourth my lovely Eveready to test out the new new MWF.
First impressions are very good with my awesome Highlander brush, i t does indeed lather much much easier than it's predecessor, I will use it a few more times with various razors before establishing my own final opinion.
I have just kissed myself in the mirror, so I know I look simply gorgeous.
That's all folks.

After a great week of shaves with MWF I’m going to finish off Fat February with the excellent Spitfire soap.
Sticking to the same set up for the whole week really let me dial in the fat and I think I will go for week long set ups going forward.

Saturday 24 February
Parker adjustable injector with Parker blade
ToBS Sandalwood
Ever Ready ancient bristle
Chanel Allure Homme Sport balm

The Parker was a very early acquisition in my wet shave journey after years of cartridge shaving and my inexperience was exposed when I started my first shave only to find that the blade that came installed was a blunt copper blank. It removed the soap but not the stubble. Fast forward a couple of years to this morning and I’m pleased to say that the Parker, with a proper blade did the job entirely to my satisfaction. 2 main passes and pick ups for bbs finish. A dash of Coco’s Sport and it’s time for :coffee:
Have a fine weekend fellas!
