September 2nd

Hot shower prep
Razor: M M & Co
Soap: P-160
Mug: Un-marked quality scuttle
Brush: Horse hair
Aftershock: Alum block
Splash: For Men ( French )

A couple very inexpensive new finds. The Razor and the scuttle. The razor, Coticule finish honed last night gave a great shave this AM. Scuttles do work well! I had a bit of P-160 left and it went into the scuttle tray. I soaked the brush in the well. I made and picked up thick lather and mostly face lathered. Any excess water dripped into the hot water well. Each pass made a bit better lather. Once I learned that one tiny squeeze was almost too much..I like the splash



M M & Co A dead ringer for the Le Coulter, and uses Le Coulter blades.( This appears to be another private label or perhaps a sub company set up in the destination country as was the Arbenz, in England.)
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

It has been a good day. Arsenal took three points at Anfield, we're having a beautiful late summer afternoon here, and I *finally* summoned up the courage to put an edge on this old beauty of a blade. I won't be trading in my big choppers any time soon, but it was cool to shave with something that's probably about 200 years old.

Have a great week everyone
