 BRUSH:  Muhle Silvertip Fiber V2.0
 SOAP:   Declaration Grooming Trismegistus
 RAZOR:  Blackland Sabre, ATT Kronos handle
 BLADE:  GEM PTFE (2)
 Post:   PAA Alum, Declaration Grooming Trismegistus AS

My version of "Fixd Four" continues, still focusing on zero pressure, proper angle, and training my non dominant (right) hand.  I was pleasantly surprised at how much I could do right-handed, although it seems like a tedious amount of thought is required to get it done.  When the smoke cleared, I was happy to have a skin-friendly DFS.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Monday.
Prep: Hot towel
Pre shave: Prep
Razor: Weber ARC
Blade: Wizamet Polsilver
Brush: 'Papa Chub' (Chubby 3 Manchurian)
Soap: Mike's Natural
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / RazoRock Aftershave Wax

the Weber/Wizamet Polsilver gave a wonderfully smooth, BBS shave... this blade could well end up being my fave for the Weber... 'Papa Chub' is always a pleasure to use.. Simpsons Manchurian, and 2 Band really are in a class of their own.. a fantastic start to my week.



Friday.
Prep: Hot towel
Pre shave: Prep
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium
Brush: Rough,No Name Boar
Soap: Lisa's Natural: Orange clove
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / Chatillon Lux: Bon Vivant Post Shave Toner

the Merkur/Super Iridium gave an outstanding shave, with Lisa's Natural (old version) providing the lather... and I must admit, that I'm very tempted to give the new soaps a whirl, after such an impeccable performance.

Bulgari Man in Black today. 20 seconds to load Thater Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Gillette “Spoiler” Super Stainless still in the Fat Boy. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Bulgari Man in Black aftershave.
