    Default Sunday midday

    Pre: Cold shower
    Razor: Helsjestrand M K no: 4
    Brush: New Forest, 22 mm two banded
    Soap: Omega
    Post: Proraso
    AS: Alcolado Glacial
    Result: Very, very good!
    I love this brush, it´s getting better and better as it breaks in - soft tips with a good backbone. Face lather today and I put the scuttle in the refrigerator an hour before the shave . Razor was excellent, I was thinking of getting rid of it, becuase it´s very close to my MK no: 31 (which I like the design of the blade better), but it´s shaving like a dream and will be staying. Got a nice menthol kick from the Omega soap and Proraso, but when I splashed the Alcolado on, I actually danced an Irish sword dance for a couple of secs

    It is a beauty I've been eyeing something like a Wacker or Dorko for a while now. I don't mean to hijack the thread but do you have a wacker to compare it to? If so, which is the better shaver in your opinion. Thank you!

    Mr.David,
    Do these Dorkos take (and can keep) a sharp edge or do you notice it deteriorating? I love the look of it. Nice

    Thanks
