Wednesday:

Merkur HD/Merkur
Mitchell's Wool Fat soap
AoS Silvertip
TGR A/S Balm

Chanel Pour Monsieur

First time ever with a soap. I saw some Mitchell's for sale yesterday and decided to give it a swing. My brush is a bit too floppy for the soap I think, and my lather was somewhat disappointing. Regardless, what I got was a near-BBS shave and no razor burn whatsoever. I can only imagine what this stuff is like once you've gotten the knack of it down!

Thanks Richard. I really appreciate the compliment coming from you. Yes, I did buy a BK4. It came in the mail yesterday, but due to time constraints I was unable to shave until this evening.

I hope this doesn't send Clive over the edge. :wink:

Tim, Well, you're on your way now....a....yeah, let's not look too deeply into WHERE you're heading.....BUT, nice photo and that set-up should be just the ticket. I do love those Mitchell's bowls, even if I can't use the soap.
Regards,
