Thank you, sir! I'm glad you like it too. But I am just "a disciple". Both mentors are pretty obvious, aren't they :lol:

Friday:

'52 SS with a Gillette blade (day 2)
Kent BK 4 silvertip brush
D.R.Harris Arlington shave stick
D.R.Harris Pink aftershave

What a shave today! I attempted my second face lathering and it went swimmingly! I might have used too little soap but I did have enough lather for a 3 pass shave! I love my BK 4!

Warmest regards, Niksa

Richard, That's what tends to happen. My SOTD posts aren't exactly wildly gyrating, and unpredictable ( chuckle.....and if I wasn't habituated to doing these bloody daily announcements, it probably would vary even less ).
Regards.

MUSIC: Argus – Wishbone Ash (vinyl)
Hot Shower
SCS Sandalwood Bath Soap, MB’s Rosemary/Mint Shampoo

4” Coors Mortar
Geo. F. Trumper GFT SC (sample)
Savile Row 3824 Finest
Micromatic w/Ted Pella (day 3)
2 passes
Styptic Pencil
WWR
CWR
Alum Bock
CWR
Lime Ice AS
Thayer’s Witch Hazel w/Aloe Vera
Geo. F. Trumper GFT EdT (Sample)

Pinaud Eau de Quinine Hair Tonic

You can get a very fine, close shave with the Micromatic. However it requires a very light touch and attention to technique to avoid weepers, and the corners of the blade can be exposed resulting in a nasty nick. Happened to me on the first day and the healing area still has to be avoided to prevent reopening it.

Now I’m off to the Barbershop!

Have an outstanding day!
