Shaving with my Milwakee Barbe Supply Co. razor

[TheGeek]

Howdy folks

Well my prize from the May giveaway came yesterday, thanks to those who donated once again, and thanks to str8razor for a swift dispatch.

Well I had shaved a couple of days before and didn't really need to shave so I decided to save it till today when I had time, and I'm off out tonight

Sooo, I took up the SRD lime soap and the brush, and began trying to make myself a bowlful of lather, the brush is a bit bigger than I'm used to lol so this took a few attempts, but perseverance was king, I got a good creamy lather and proceeded to work it into my hairy bits of face, then I took up the blade and started to shave away, a WTG, almost all the hair was gone, a good XTG and a nice rinse, a few little rough bits across the jaw line and chin, so I lathered up one final time and went ATG on these bits.

My result an amazing clean, pretty much BBS shave, and a note that maybe my gotta needs a touch up lol.

And on the prizes, that lime soap is awesome and I find the smell refreshing, so a massive thanks to our anonymous donor, you are a human of taste. As for the brush, mr Cannonfodder this is a lovely brush, was it made by your fair hand? As I say a little bigger than I'm used to but after a few minutes playing around with it, and painting on some lovely thick lather, it's in the top two of my brushes , Ookla the razor was sharper than a very very sharp thing, and I would say one of my top shaves so far, and feels nice and comfortable in the hand, I noticed the scales are curved out odly comfy lol, however as for the strop I am yet to try it out, as the razor didn't need stropping off the bat, and when finished I went to my trusty paddle to make sure the blade was good and dry.

Well thanks again to everyone and to you all for reading this lengthy post.
