Tim, I want a Bismarck so bad. That baby just lay's there and looks deadly sharp. (Jealous!!!!)

Very smooth and comfortable shave. My bowl of MdC is a year old next month. Look how little it has gone down in that time.

Great combination! MdC & Filarmonica. Wow!

Warm Shower
Warm oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
Custom Cherry Brush by Tim (Tumtatty)
Engstrom, frame-back in ivory
Ambrose Strop 100 laps
AOS Aluminum
Pinaud Bay Rum
Vaseline for men
Earth Quake
Hurricane Irene

Today when I arrived home there was a little box waiting for me. Inside was a sample of MdC and a Cherry wood brush turned by Tim with what has to be my favorite badger knot installed. The original handle broke and Tim volunteered to fix it for me. I guess he really liked the Castle Forbes and Cade I sent.

Anyway, I immediately took a shower and stropped up the twin of the Engstrom I used last night. Warmed the Scuttle and dropped in some MdC that Tim sent along with the brush.

The Mdc whipped up into a creamy delightful thick lather that over flowed the sides of the scuttle. The aroma was delightful. The Engstrom glided over the thick cream and my skin to provide a wonderful shave. I know understand the rave over the MdC and will be ordering some. I've never had a soap lather like that.

The handle of the brush has a beautiful cherry finish and fit in my hand perfectly. The knot just blooms on this one and holds mounds of lather. Tim, thanks so much!!

Enjoy the evening.

Locale:Mile High in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado!

Music: The J. Geils Band - Blow Your Face Out!!! Live (Musta got lost!!)

Result:A fine shave!!! This little wedge is a dream. Hadn't shaved in 2 days, saw the neurologist today and had an epidural done in my neck for a few bulging disks that have been reeking havoc upon me in recent times. Crossing my fingers this helps!! It's taken a while, but I finally got that shower and shave I so craved!

Happy Shaves!!!!

When you get one KEEP IT DRY! I left mine in the bathroom and the humidity caused it to start rusting right on the goldleaf in just a couple days. I was so bummed, but I learned my lesson.

I'm so glad you liked the brush handle Jeff! That one fit my hand better than any I've made so far. I'm glad it works for you too. I knew you'd like the MdC. It's pretty amazing stuff. I've used it probably 10x and even after I scraped off the sample for you the jar still looks basically unused. I bet you could shave everyday for a year off one jar. Anyway, I am very grateful for your kindness in sending me a sample of the Cade and Castle & Forbes to try.
