Like SharpSpine I too used Marco from Panna Crema's dry method of lathering. Very interesting and surprising-I'm looking forward to experimenting more with it.

Thank you, David.
I am learning.
I am still hung up on boots and bonnet.

Hey, Mickey, keep asking those questions because I learn from them, as well.  

Okay, Freddy.

Freddy ( I am afraid to ask this ),  what is Spotted Dick?

Mickey, the first time I heard of this dish, while visiting my friend in Scotland, I could not hold a straight face. This will explain it better than I could: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_dick.  I hope this helps.

I combined Marco's "dry" method with Merkur Man's loading technique.  Driven by my black oxide BlackBird and 28mm EnvyWhite/Vladimir Ferdman brush; "polished" by the Small batch Shave Tonic. Result - another otherworldly experience.

Okay, Freddy.

A pudding you must most definitely try. Delicious, especially with custard, and does wonders for your cholesterol levels.

LAfter Midnight shave...

Stirling Frozen Tundra soap
Maggards 24mm synthetic brush
Crown King scuttle
Allegheny Instruments 5/8 near wesge in teak
Aqua Velva Ice Blue splash

I spent a good portion of the last couple days making and polishing another set of 1-piece scales, so I put my Saturday shave off until the polish was dry. Just after midnight the scales were ready, so I quickly pinned the blade in place, filed down the rough edges, stropped her up and had a shave.

The original scales for this blade were in decent shape, but I wanted to put her something a little nicer...

Chris,

With all the plastics and synthetic bones and parts of unfortunate animals, nothing approaches the beauty of wood.
Congratulations. You have made a real gem.

I am disappointed.
I always thought it was a private detective with freckles.
