AOS Peppermint cream and all the trimmings. I'm on the road this week.

Sounds good Sam! PM me the address.

This is a duplicate post. Yesterday's soap was a trip back to the old school shaving soap - i.e.: AOS tallow based sandalwood soap. Too bad the smell of this soap is powerfully repulsive to me, and whenever I decide to use it I am amazed at the excellent performance of the lather. I suppose that's w...

Yesterday's soap was a trip back to the old school shaving soap - i.e.: AOS tallow based sandalwood soap. Too bad the smell of this soap is powerfully repulsive to me, and whenever I decide to use it I am amazed at the excellent performance of the lather. I suppose that's why I haven't just thrown i...

Now that such iconic shaving soaps as Mitchell's Wool Fat and Tabac have kicked the tallow habit, I first wondered why. Why? What happened to cause such an unusually coincidentally timed event? Whose official business would dictate such an urgent mandate? All of this makes me wonder how "they&q...

This beautiful morning in May started the week with a close and smooth brushless shave cream - Caswell Massey ROS. Some guys aren't averse to using brushless creams whenever the mood strikes. For me, the quality of the shave matters more than the consistency of the preparation I use to prepare the w...

That's all I know. This was announced a couple of days ago on one of the more active shaving forums.

That's a beauty!

This week started out with another new shaving cream I've been interested in using - Caswell Massey ROS (rose) brushless. I didn't use much cream as I applied it with my fingertips, and the 3 day Monday morning routine beard was easily removed with the General razor and Schick Proline blade. The ros...

Really good news, but one minor detail, with prejudice means the case can not be re-filed. Without prejudice means it can be. (I hope that was just a scrivenor's error.)

Friday's shave features a new (to me) soap - Asylum Levante from BullGoose. Nice hard shaving soap, easy to lather which didn't dissipate and the fragrance is pleasant. The residual slickness that comes with a splash of water following the first pass was well done. The shave was up to my expectation...

Truefitt &Hill 1805 shaving cream. Lathered by the SilkSmoke synthetic brush. Excellent!

With all due respect to the King of England (United Kingdom) and his royal family, I wish them well, and I trust that they'll enjoy a long and peaceful time on the throne.

Kudos to Asylum Flying Mango shave soap. This lather is a super-performer. Incidentally, it fits perfectly in my Mitchell's Wool Fat ceramic bowl. I regret not using this soap much earlier.

I miss Clive's participation here at SMF. His last post was July of last year.

This morning's shave was delightful due to the new soap I recently bought from BullGoose, called Asylum Flying Mango soap. Made in Italy. I highly recommend it. This soap has a pleasant fragrance, and provides a protective lather that doesn't fade away during the shave. I'll be looking forward to us...

I was very happy this week because my favorite driver finally won another race. Keep it up Marty!

I landed on his blog by accident, this link is legitimate. He's going strong. Until today I had no idea.

Monday morning - First time I've ever owned or used a tub of Kent shaving cream. It's quite nice, and I'm looking forward to using it regularly. The brush was the SilkSmoke synth, and the razor was the General. Schick Proline 30 is this month's blade, and of course, Finished it off with the Superior...
