Thread: Sun February 13th - Sat February 19th

Wednesday morning:

Prep: Hot Shower
Strop: Russ Fawson red latigo
Soap: MWF
Brush: Omega 21047 "Mighty Midget"
Razor: Henckels Friodur 7/8
Post: Alum block & Ogallala bay rum
ASB: Burt's Bees

Am I the only person on the planet that doesn't think MWF is all it's cracked up to be? I have several other soaps that out perform this stuff. Most of them at half the cost. Maybe it's all about skin types and such but I'm just not sold on it. Great shave though, the Henckels was starting to tug so I finished with the DE, a Merkur 34C. Have a great day everyone.

My first SOTD. It was only a single pass since that is all I had time for but feels great.

Prep: Cold rinse and Proraso Sensitive Skin Pre-Shave
Soap: C&E Sandalwood
Brush: TI Best Badger Brush
Razor: 5/8 Wapi in faux ivory scales
AS: Dickenson's Witch Hazel and C&E Sandalwood Balm

Hi Yosh,
Hmmm...I don't know. Personally, I have had nothing but fantastic results with MWF. The thing lathers like a pro with super moisturizing effects. I love this soap. Just curious: which other soaps do you prefer?

Love the Henckels...I am sure that once you take it to the hones for a refresher, she will be a top performer

Thanks Robert! I thought they had missed to kill a nerve thread and that was where the infection took root, but you mean it started in the biofilm layed there by the dentist when doing the root canal job!?
