Brilliant three pass shave, BBS. I had not used this "yellows" for quite some time. Mistake. Perhaps the blade that suits me best.

Beautiful Shave today. I continue to be impressed with the Charcoal Goods Razor, very smooth yet efficient. I would love to get a hold of a lvl 3. My Simpson Captains are always a joy to use, soft tips, great backbone, and I think they excel at giving up the lather during the shave. The Wholly Kaw Soaps continue to impress me, and this is a lovely scent. I also enjoy Wholly Kaw's splashes, beautiful scents, a nice touch of Menthol, perfect for a hot weather shave!

Have a Great Day!

Prep - Noxzema / Hot towel
Pre shave - Proraso

well, ‘The Rock’ #3 plate gave a very efficient shave with the Super Iridium, and the Jasmine Tea did an admirable job of keeping everything under control... SWEET!!

I was worried about this brush. I was afraid I screwed it up by letting sit too long in a vinegar bath while doing a deep clean. I've done different things to get it to make a good lather but it was always off. Comparing it to my 830 I noticed the tips weren't as split. So today, I just let it sit in water for an hour. Right, wrong or indifferent that's what I did. It worked. I left the water in the brush and went to town on the puck. I was rewarded with a great lather that I finished on my face. It was the best yet.
