Thursday, February 24th

Razor: Apollo Mikron
Blade: Schick Plus Platinum
Brush: Simpson Summerset T4
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
A/S: Musgo Real Classic Scent aftershave

I recently acquired the Simpson Summerset era Tulip 4 brush and used it ffor the first time this morning. This is a very substantial brush (25mm knot, 50mm loft) and it produced a copious amount of lather from the MWF. The Apollo Mikron with a fresh Schick Plus Platinum blade produced an excellent shave and the Musgo Real splash was a great change of pace.

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 23mm Simpson "Chubby #1", 2-band, Silvertip Badger

Razor: 7/8" Giesen & Forsthoff Decorated Back, Full Hollow, Spike Point

Strop: 50/60 (Neil Miller linen/Premium IV leather)

Überlather: Al Raz' "Black Pepper ∣ Cloves ∣ Orange" Shave Creme

Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Amber

Cologne: Creed "Green Irish Tweed" EdC

Results: Everything about this shave was perfect: (1) This full hollow Giesen & Forsthoff is one amazing shaver. She wiped yesterday's growth like hot knife through butter. What an amazing feeling!!! (2) Al's fantastic creme produced an out-of-this world überlather that would make all other überlathers green with envy. (3) The Simpson Chubby was a delight to use in whipping the lather and prepping the beard. And finally (4) the moisturizer/AS mix left my face feeling smooth and ultra moisturized. I am all smiles today.

Have a SPECTACULAR Thursday guys.

Excellent shaves Glenn. Love the handle on that brush (first post)

ANother fabulous blade with your name on it. I love that Mama Bear's soap. Great scent too. It's a shame what happened to her house and shop though.

Oxford Warranted 5/8

Erasmic sc
Thayers Cucumber WH w/ aloe
GFT Lime Skin Food
Dunhill for Men Edt

Another terrific shave with the Oxford. The Erasmic was a tad thin but I think I did not shake out the New Forest 2201 enough before I loaded the soap. Nonetheless, I had enough lather for a two pass head shave as well. I dusted off the Dunhill as I had not worn it in a while...I enjoy it but it might be better for evenings. And today will be better than yesterday.
