Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Wonderful lather from the Mitchell's Wool Fat soap built with the Zenith B28 for two passes (+ touch-up) with the '61 Fatboy and I finished with vintage "British Sterling" AS and EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Thanks to @Klinker for the generous pif of the brass Micromatic Open Comb. The only other Gem currently in my rotation is a brass Ever-Ready 1912. The MMOC is considerably more aggressive and delivered a somewhat smooth and very efficient shave. Now I’m waiting for delivery of two more Gems, purchased on the Bay, a nickel finished Micromatic Open Comb and a Gem Push Button.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Went back to Fine Accoutrements and their great "Santal Absolut" soap. Wonderful AoS sandalwood scent and excellent lather built with the Semogue SOC "Super Badger" for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Karve Christopher Bradley razor and I finished with Art of Shaving "Sandalwood" ASB and EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)
