    Mikael: very, very hard luck with the Fat, my friend.

    One of my very infrequent SOTD photos today:



    New Forest 2211 silvertip; Electric Razor Co. Hamburg Ring 13/16; Nanny's Eucalyptus soft soap; Taylor's St James aftershave.

    Result: highly satisfactory.

    Sorry to hear about that. But its not the MWF. Nope! Its the razor. I would be more than happy to relieve you of her.

    I gave the Barber's Pet 80 laps on the Thuringian today, surprisingly it seemed to make very little difference. I still cant quite figure this razor out, still a good shave though.
    Hope you guys are enjoying the weekend

    Sorry to hear that. I know how frustrating that can be. Maybe go back to the sharpening stone for a few more laps. Then back to the polisher.

    A simple, yet effective shave today. No fancy, high-end hardware or software, but I was left BBS smooth and ready to wrap up this week!
    A nice basic setup. How are you likeing the Salter?

    Pre-Shave: Hot shower & conditioner => Lather => Hot towel => Lather
    Brush: 28mm Shavemac 410
    Razor: 9/16 W.M. Elliot, full hollow, muted square point
    Strop: DOVO Cowshide
    Superlather: Tabac + TBS Maca Root
    Aftershave: Hot towel => Cold Towel => Alum => Cold towel
    Aftershave balm: Nivea Sensitive
    Aftershave Splash: Old Spice Original
    Results: Tonight is my graduation party, and I deliberately didn't shave this week to get an awesome shave, and it was! Totally BBS without irritation. I'm really happy with this superlather combo.

    On another note: Very nice shaves everyone! I don't respond to them, but I read them.

    OK, yesterday, the shave with the Imperial was amazing but today's shave was easily eclipsed yesterday's. This was always one of those razors that never gave really bad shaves but they just weren't very good and seemed to peak at just above OK. That is until today; this is without question the best shave I've ever had with this razor in the two years or so I've owned it. I knew that it being a Boker, if I hung with it long enough, it would start shaving like one. What better way to finish it that with a tip of the hat to Pops with the EL. Epic shave today boys!
    The older I get, the better I was

    Hi Andy! Thank you, I´m a bit sad, I really like the MWF, so much that I maybe´ll try again . Lot´s of nice gear in your setup and I love that TOBS bottle

    Congratulations Doug. That is great news. What type of position is this for (if you don't mind the asking)?

    BTW: Great photo. beautiful blade and great soap. It brings back very good memories of the Parthenon

    At least one of you (the much better half) has great taste, LOL, LOL!! Kudos to your beloved (and you). A+++++++

    BTW: Since you will be very busy with your Buddels, you probably won't have much use for your W&B, TI and this Diamond. You have my postal address, right, LOL???? And don't tell me to stand in line

    Mikael,
    I feel your pain...This is very sad news and by far a disaster. How can one live without MWF? There's gotta be something that can be done. I know that the wool fat that's used is a complex mixture of different kinds of fats, but in the presence of lye, it breaks into simpler fatty acids. If you knew which you had allergies to (I reckon they can do simple skin tests these days), one could tailor a formulation that avoids that component, freeing you to enjoy the full benefits of MWF.

    Can you check with a dermatologist to see what can be done? If not, come here, I will make a "drug" that will get rid of that allergy...I can't speak highly about the side effects (liver failure, brain meltdown, etc...nothing serious really ), but at least you will have no allergies to MWF.

    Hey Grant,
    Ahhhh...the mysterious, all elusive razor. I must say though, you will figure it out soon. That's what makes this sport fun and not boring...the unpredictability. Enjoy the journey my friend.
