Great shave this morning!
Attachment 117978
Saturday
W.H. Morely & Sons Clover Brand
Whippeddog 22mm Silvertip
Proraso
Thayer's Lemon Witch Hazel
RR Black Hammer w/Voshkod for touch up
Good shave overall today as far as the actual shaving goes. When I first started I figured I'd give my RR Don Marco another go. I don't know why but I can NOT get a good lather out of this stuff. Warm water, cold water, hard water, soft water, boar, or badger. I've shelved it and came back like 3 times now to no avail. Luckily I had my Proraso sitting there and just washed out my brush and used that instead. That little green tube is magic and never lets me down. I guess at this point I'm ranting but I'm still pretty annoyed. :soapbox:
Still under the yoke of the flu, but stimulated by your beautiful photos, I restarted to shave, and I took the opportunity to increase confidence with this nice Fatip.
