-- Wednesday, October 8--

Prep: Face wash with bath soap and water
Razor: 1922 Gillette Big Fellow with New Improved head
Blade: Super-Max SP (7)
Brush: Semogue Owners Club 2012 SE boar/badger mix
Soap: Mike's Barbershop/RR R160
Scuttle: None
Post: Thai Crystal deodorant alum stick and Thayers's witch hazel

Result: BBS in 3+ passes. Excellent shave. I have not used the SOC SE in a while and I really love this brush. Really unique knot that is very satisfying. It eats soaps up like crazy. If you even want to finish a soap quickly use this brush on it. The feel of the brush is great with very distinctive scrubbing, but no scritch at all. The Super-Max SP (7) did a good job, but that was it for it. Great blade and very sharp.

Getting ready to go back home

Simply perfect. Simply superb. The more I use this Mastro Livi straight razor the more I like it. I am about to leave and to go back home, so a good shave is the right thing to do before starting packing. Not to mention how good is this RWL34 steel in shaving: keen, deep and sharp, it gives a super smooth shave. I love this razor!

Mühle STF v2 23mm brush
Tim's Lime-Lavender soap
EJ Barley Chrome 89 razor
Personna Lab Prep day #4
Thayer's aftershave witch
Guerlain Vetiver edt spray

The kit has become repetitive, but why change what's working? I may eventually get around to buying a good badger brush again; i see no reason to change up the soap (unlimited personalized scent options!), razor, or blade. Aftershave occasionally gets swapped for Bigelow Dr. Galen. Just not into mixing up the kit these days.
Regards,
Tim
