I was not too careful today. Although lather was neither here nor there. Nice and creamy, but a bit lacking in texture and elasticity (which I attribute to lack of moisture)


That's a beautiful blade Bruce. I love this one

Great to hear that the CarrieM Bay Rum is a match for the Ogallala. The latter is my favorite Bay Rum scent. (although Pinaud VIBR is in a class all to itself!) The Ogallala always has that pithy waxy feel to the lather and it dries out pretty fast. I would have thought the Glycerin would have given it some body and elasticity. At any rate, great report Robert!

I picked this Tiger up in an antique store for $19. bucks and it was so unique that I had to have it prettied up. Glenn (gssixgun) worked his majic on it and it's like a beautiful new razor. It has a place of honor in my shadow box on the Shave Den Wall. Thanks for noticing!

It is a wedge. I smile every time I use it.

Soap: Mama Bear's Ye Olde Barbershoppe

~ A Bay Rum Kinda Shave ~

Brush (Rudy Vey): 26mm Rudy Vey w/TGN Grade A Silvertip Badger
Razor: 7/8" Solingen Stainless, 1/4 Hollow, Round Point (Snakewood scales)

Love the scales on that razor, but that brush is outstanding. I have one more knot from TGN HMMMMM I wonder? Maybe I can Come up with my own version.
Nice SOTD
Jim
PS you really have RAD,Brushad, soapad BUT IN A GOOD WAY I can only aspire to that level.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: New Forest Tubby 2
Razor Filarmonica DT 13
Soap: Nannys The Spicey One
AS: Old Spice Lime
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
I think I get Nannys new formula ... It´s more slick, how that´s even possible I don´t know, but that´s it + it holds together really fine, in combination with being a damned fine soap to start with. Maybe a touch softer than the reg formula aswell. Very good anyhow!

Sorry, I didn't know this detail. But as it's said in the Basque country if it was good for the father it will be good for the son

Robert,
you wrote:
"Those two were exactly the ones I picked as synthetic too . The real question in my mind is (and I know you fell this): will I be able to tell the difference in a blind test?"

By my mind:
If you have brushes with the same dimension you'll not feel a difference.
But I really favorizes Silvertips.
For travelling I'll use in the future only the new synthetic.
Please realize: The blue one is only a test-brush. I'll order a brush-head with the new synthetic bristles and use it at my nickel-travel-brush.

Robert,
you told me:

"I hear you Tom...Do you think all synthetic brushes will be this high quality that I won't feel the difference or just Muhle? For traveling, it may be an interesting choice."

I don't know! I have only these two synthetic brushes by Muehle.
Again: I'll visit Muehle-factory in spring. There I'll take a look at brushes with the same size like a Silvertip, take some pictures and maybe buy a big one of the new synthetic bristle brushes.So I can directly test, if there are some differences.
My first impression was, this one looks and feels like a Silvertip.

Congrats to Frank (Fbones)
