Saturday, February 2nd

Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium
Brush: J.L. Petree Horse Hair Brush
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: Valobra English Fern (Prototype)
Scuttle: Moss Scuttle
A/S: Alt Innsbruck

An excellent shave using the prototype version of Valobra English Fern hard shave soap. The production run will have a more intense scent but the sample performs wonderfully. A splash of Alt Innsbruck and I am ready for the day.

Will this scent be close to the bath soap from Valobra? Puck or stick form? I have been officially intrigued!

Saturday:

Gillette Model #58 & Gillette 'Swede'
Trumpers Almond shave cream
D R Harris's Pink A/S
Penhaligon's English Fern

REALLY no time this morning so, hand lathered the cream ( no brush to clean up ) and only two passes. Predictable results; a socially acceptable shave but definately not to my usual standards....or the standards of many other SMF members I wouldn't think.

Gordon,

No brush???? This is almost as shocking as when you reported having used an electric shaver for a number of years.

I don't know what to think anymore.
