Razor: Gillette Fat Boy, 1959
Blade: Derby
Prep: Warm oil (home made)
Brush: Custom by Nelson
Soap: MWF
A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel
Result: Nice, comfortable shave

Nelson gave me this brush at the meet-up. I keep using it because the badger knot keeps blooming and holding more and more water and lather. Nice and soft, an outstanding brush. Thanks again Nelson.
The MWF does not perform for me. Although it seems like there is a bunch on lather on the brush, the lather goes on my face kinda thin. it is not watery just not as luxurious a lather as some of the others I use. I guess there are some nuances to get it to lather better. I'll just keep working on it.

Long weekend starts today. Visit to the museums today and then to a visit to DC to see Bill and Hiroko.

Enjoy your weekend.
