01 August 2013
Razor: Rhodium GEM OCMM + PTFE (1)
Brush: WSP Stubby Superfine 26/52
Soap: Martin de Candre -- Signature (104)
AS: Krampert's Finest menthol
This rhodium OCMM is not only a beauty but she performed splendidly this morning. If I could merge my top 3 razors it would be the pinnacle of shaving for me. The handle & balance of the Streamline, open comb & TTO mechanism from the OCMM, & finally the blades of the Cobra.
We can dream right!

Thursday, late morning
Pre: QED French clay soap
Brush: Simpson PL 8
Soap: MWF
Razor: Cobra Classic with Kai Mild (6)
Post: Clubman Styptic Powder
Clubman A/S
Clinique PSH
Clubman talc, liberally applied all over.
Unusual shave in that shaved late morning. And didn't shower afterwards, as is my "normal" routine.
Must have developed some bad habits, as I seem to want to nick my upper lip and
chin with greater frequency than I like. Otherwise a DFS with two passes and some blade buffing.
Even my normally stubborn jawline problem area was subdued with the PL8 and MWF combo...
so much nice lather.

Thursday Night:
Razor: Mergress (at lowest setting)
Blade: Personna Hospital Use
Brush: Semogue 740 (pure badger)
Soap: TRBeck Lime soft soap
Lather made in a bowl, as always.
2 1/2 passes.
Cold water rinse.
Another outstanding soap from Tim, who has really gotten his formula dialed in. It loaded fast and very quickly built into a superlative lather. This soap, generously loaded into a very attractive wooden bowl, was a gift from Zach.
