Hello everyone! Hope you had great weekend.
Great shave this morning. Returned to MdC and their "Nature" shave soap. Fantastically unscented with excellent lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Belfour" ST badger brush. Two passes with the '49 Gillette Aristocrat and I finished with Myrsol "Don Carlos 1972" after shave splash and CK One "Shock" EdT.
Hope you have a great day.

Shave of the Week Starting 8 January 2024
Shield Predator (Titanium) razor
Gem Stainless blade
Shave Revolution Synthetic brush
Cresent City Shave Works "Irish Tweed" SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S
Been wanting one of the Shield Predators but didn't want to put out the amount a various vendors wanted so I waited and waited and waited till one came up at a reasonable price then I jumped at it. Actually, I got the Titanium one and an aluminum version as well. Anyway, first shave with the Titanium version and it was, well, terrific! Very smooth, comfortable and easy to use. To semi quote a movie, " is this the SE that I never knew I always wanted"? More shaves to follow of course, but based on the first one it's a winner. My face is very happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.
