BTW: How do you like MWF?

Thanks Robert!! It's a great shaver too!!! The MWF is great! One of my faves. Haven't used it in a while and realized today that I should use it more often!! Had a wonderful shave today!!!

Going out to see a game of hockey tonight, so this had to be done quick! Just 2 quick passes, but the Livi delivers even on a tight schedule

Did maybe 50 laps on an Escher, it was starting to tug just a wee bit. It sure did the trick, razor all sharp and smooth again.

Prep: Quick shower
Cream: Al's Shaving Cream, Saigon
Brush: Simpson Persian Jar 2, 22mm Super Badger
Razor: Mastro Livi 8/8, square point, ATS34, Wooden Scales
Strop: SRD Premium IV, English bridle.
Astringent: Thayers Super Hazel
ASB: Al's ASB, Saigon
EdT: Penhaligon's English Fern.

Re: Cella vs MWF - I think Cella is slicker, I really like MWF and even bought that nice cup ... But it seems I get pimples of it . I didn´t use it for weeks (thought that maybe the hot summer weather was part off it) and tried a couple of days ago, again... in the evening I had a nice and ripe pimple right on the chin. And no, I don´t get pimples by it self anymore.

Guys,
Thank you so much for the warm wishes

Birnando: have a great time at the Hockey game...what teams?

Mikael: I know...I need to play with both cremes a bit to get the hang of each a little better...I am even thinking about mixing them together and maybe with some other cremes/soaps as well. There are sooooooo many combinations one can try...which is why we will never get bored in this sport

Beautiful SOTD Robert.
Have a wonderful birthday.

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Pre-Shave prep: Stephan's Conditioning Smooth Shave Creme

Razor: 6/8" Wade & Butcher Original "Bow" razor, near-wedge, Spike Point (Max restore)

Strop: SRD Premium IV (50 linen/75 leather)

Brush: 23mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger

Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)

ASB: Truffit & Hill Grafton

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

Result: Great lather, BBS shave...wonderful start to the start of my birthday. The "Bow" delivers the goods...Seriously!! This thing is as sharp and smooth as they come. What did you expect? The blade has been christened by none other than Max himself. I would even go so far as to officially certify this as a lethal weapon - If I were caught with this thing in my luggage at any airport security, I would be labeled a terrorist and deported. I also received my MWF soap yesterday...I do love this soap. It lathered up perfectly and effortlessly. I like its scent better than that of the Cella, but performance wise, they are very close, except with respect to one characteristic - the moisturizing capacity of the MWF outshines the Cella in this regard. But since one data point is not sufficient to make a final judgment call, the experimenting will continue.
