TGIF...Have a SPECTACULAR Friday gentlemen.

Friday, March 11th

Razor: Edwin Jagger DE86
Blade: Gillette SharpEdge (Yellow)
Brush: Simfix Grosvenor
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: Irisch Moos
A/S: Acca Kappa Cedro after shave splash

Another excellent shave. The Edwin Jagger DE86 suits me well and I always get a great shave from it. The Acca Kappa Cedar (Cedro) aftershave is quickly becoming a favorite. Although it is called Cedar, the scent is actually a combination of many things and I barely detect any cedar. That being said, it is very pleasant and a good year round aftershave. There is a bit of castor oil added to the mix (although not as much as in Musgo Real) and I find the skin conditioning properties to be excellent.

Robert, excellent coordination of the woods! That may just be the coolest brush around!

Ahh, pace not path, sometimes my English fails. No, I think everything there is her old blend (the jury is still out re this blend/mix, I think). But the old blend´s still very good. It´s one of my top three on my soap list - Nannys, Cella and recently MdC.

Mikael, I looked at Nanny's site, but did not see "The Spicy One" listed. Is this a special for you or a discontinued flavor?

Awesome stuff, shave and pic Robert :

Thank you.
I'm going to use the Norton 4000 / 8000,
the Chinese Guangxi polishing hone aka. C12k
and the Osaki Japanese natural finishing hone.
I could get a nice shaving edge using the Norton alone. The other two are just frosting on the cake.

Bill, it´s a test run. Not everyones flavour, I would guess. I can PIF you some, it has coriander and patchouli in it . Hmm, if I pif you the tub (travel size one) maybe you could forward it to Robert efter some goes? I´ll just have a last go at it tomorrow, yes!?

You're too kind. I'd love to try it!
