Another great 2 pass BBS with a minor weeper to the left of my Adam’s Apple. The shave would have been bloodless, if I’d just left the hint of roughness around my Adam’s Apple alone. The result would have been a bloodless DFS and near BBS. Live and learn. The tool of choice today was my 2011 R41 loaded with a Feather blade. I’m always amazed at the efficiency and blade feel with this razor. Five more days with MWF before I switch to a half month with PannaCrema Nuavia Blu and the other half with Imperial soap. In any case, I feel clean, smooth and refreshed.

RAZOR: Muhle 2011 R41 head w/ RR Barber Pole handle
BLADE: Feather 
PREP: Cold water rinse 
BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger 
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat 
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with Old Spice Fresh Lime AS Splash

Guy, I am enjoying your outdoor photos and that bowl is magnificent! Do you have more photos of it?  

Thank you, Celestino.

After work, I can take a couple of pix of the bowl. Unique and a gift from a friend over on another forum who lives in Canada.

Thanks, Guy.
