A thoroughly British shave..

Hot Towel prep
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Simpson's Colonel X2L Ehsan
W.H. Morley & Sons Clover Brand Square Point
SRD Premium I Strop ... 60 Linen/60 Leather
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Nivea AS Balm
Pinaud Lilac Vegetal

The setting is Olde London Towne, in front of the home of miserly Ebenezer Scrooge. The year... 1843 shortly before Christmas... The cast listed above.
I can only imagine that all the great Britishers in history, such as Winston Churchill, have started the day that led to their finest hour using Mitchell's Wool Fat and a brush by Simpson's... It seems only fitting. The Lilac Vegetal evokes images of Winnie pondering the fate of the British people, in their most desperate hour, in an English Garden. Decisions that affected the entire world!

The Morley blade has arrived, and I'm getting a glimpse of that infamous "coticule edge.." Who could have imagined this $20 e-bay special could achieve such lofty heights of sharpness and smoothness. We'll now move onto another blade.

You invoke Winston without including any Blenheim Bouquet??? The blasphemey! LOL

Great shave!

Friends,
a lot of members sent me PM because of Jacky.

Here is a anonymously statement:
"I imagine Jacky will be getting many bears, so I'm sending a monetary donation in Jacky's name to Ronald McDonald House Australia, so other children can also be helped...
But, I wish this to all be done in private manner and without fanfare..

Thank you for initiating the response from everyone.."

Such information I got from several members, very generous.
Thank you very much!

I don't have any!

Hopefully by next year!

PREP: Hot shower with face scrub
RAZOR: Hans Otto Duetsch
BRUSH: POLO 10
SOAP: Musgo Real
ASTRINGENT: Thayers unscented
ASB: Nivea Sensitive
AS: Carven Vetiver
EDT: Lorenzo Villoresi Vetiver
RESULT: EXCELLENT

I love this razor, one of the best ones in my humble collection. It is so smooth i dont even feel like im shaving at all. Musgo Real is such a great cream to use. The smell is great and it is so moisturized throughout the entire shave, due to the lanolin properties. Thanks to Bill we were able to split Lorenzo Villoresi Vetiver , and for those who love Vetiver, this is no joke, and not for the faint of heart. IMO If I met Clint Eastwood , Chuck Norris , and the Dos Equis guy, this is what i would imagine they would be wearing , its a MANLY fragrance and I love it !!!!
