Efficient!

• Razor: Rhodium GEM OCMM
• Blade: GEM PTFE (5)
• Brush: Mühle VIVO Black Fibre
• Soap: MdC -- Fougère (29)
• AS: Krampert's Finest Bay Rum



Today's shave was a test of efficiency with the Black Fibres making glorious lather from MdC in only 21 swirls. There was enough lather left after my two passes for at least another and touch ups. At this rate I may just be able to get a years worth of shaves from a single pot, even in my very hard water.

The picture sequence is... Loaded; after 1st pass; after 2nd pass; lather squeezed out.

-- Tuesday--

Prep: hot water wash with Stirling bath soap
Razor: RazoRock/Cadet OC on top of Ikon Bulldog
Blade: SuperMax Titanium (4)
Brush: WD handle with TGN two band finest
Soap: Panna Crema Namaste
Scuttle: Georgetown Pottery G5 in Hamada glaze
Post: Thai Crystal deodorant stick and Thayers Witch Hazel with Aloe

Result: BBS in 3+ passes. Excellent shave. I really, really love the PC Namaste scent. Besides the lemongrass there is some sort of dairy quality to it, kind of like ice cream or a milk shake. Not sure how else to describe it. Of course the performance of this soap is top notch. Skin care also is amazingly good. Mys kin feels soft and smooth. No buring or irritation of any kind. Just perfect.
