Friday AM
PRE: QED French Red Clay soap
SHAVE SOAP: Valobra Cologne Hard Shave Soap
BRUSH: Omega boar 81569
RAZOR: GEM Clog Pruf with GEM PTFE SS (5)
POST SHAVE: Crystal deo as post shave astringent
Clubman A/S
Clinque Skin Supplies for Men Post Shave Healer
Second day with the new Valobra soap, and again really great results. Face lathering this soap with a boar brush yielded
a really good lather but different from what the QED silvertip delivered... a bit less opaque but still rich and slick!
DFS in 2 1/2 passes with better than usual result along the jawline... can afford to be a bit more aggressive without
risking irritation!. Tomorrow will see a different razor and fresh blade.

Re: SOTD December 2 - December 8
-- Saturday--
Prep: hot water wash with Stirling bath soap
Razor: Frankerazor made of Hallmark top plate, Fatip base plate and Ikon Bulldog handle
Blade: Personna Super (lab prep) (1)
Brush: Barbear Classico 2013 LE Mistura (mixed hair) No. 18
Soap: Mike's Natural Barbershop
Scuttle: Georgetown Pottery G5 in Hamada glaze
Post: Thai Crystal deodorant stick and Thayers Witch Hazel with Aloe
Result: BBS in 3+ passes. BC LE Mistura No. 18 arrived this morning from Portugal just in time for my shave. What a pleasant surprise! I've been using SOC SE, the larger mixed hair Semogue for the past four shaves. I love the SOC SE, but it's way bigger than my usual preference for brush size. The BC LE Mistura is absolutely perfect size for me. It is pretty darned close to an ideal brush. I shampooed it and lathered it a few times before the maiden voyage and did my usual boar break in procedure, which is working the almost dry tips of the brush on a roughish towel and on the back side of my lather strop and on on my two day beard. works every time and this time was no exception. Many boar tips in the brush have split before the first shave. What a delightful brush this is! Those who have the TSN 2012 LE should know this. The mixed hair knot is fabulous. Even the first shave was amazing and to think the brush will only improve... It really loaded up Mike's Barbershop nicely and I had a nearly perfect shave today with BBS results and total comfort and enjoyment.
