A really nice shave today although i did nick myself just under my bottom lip, i was completing a R to L stroke using the left hand on the lip-line and just tagged myself, nothing major and the cold water rinse sorted it out, it was then i realised i do not normally do this stroke with this razor - what a plonker!
The shave helped along by the wonderful lather, today i used the Captains choice heavyweight copper, it has been neglected for a while. The signature soap exploded giving me plenty of the good stuff for the shave
Anyway, a very close comfortable shave from 2 passes and a touch up.
I think during this weeks shaves i will be doing some sneaky practice strokes with the newly acquired Unmentionable SE as i need to get a hang of the handle and grip.
The dreaded C-19 has crossed the threshold of Casa TC, Mrs TC tested Positive on her PCR yesterday, i believe it will jot be long before it catches me also, luckily we are both fully Jabbed with booster's.
Not bad since we have both been working in the Petri dishes of the NHS and a Primary school.
Hey-Ho! Hopefully it will not affect us too badly.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All Hang in there Mrs TC and Tony !! Thank you Dave

I had a wonderful shave today with a newly acquired Gem Minute Man and two of my new brushes with OUMO knots. I was easily SAS after the first pass and nearly BBS while still being quite comfortable. The two new brushes performed well after just a bit of a wash. The handles are exceptionally comfortable to use. I think the Boar will needs a bit more of a break in period before it's at peak performance. The horse was a bit of a surprise and performed perfectly right out of the gate. Both knots only shed a few hairs in the initial washing and maybe one or two more during actual use. The Boar had nearly Zero funk after the first cleansing lather while the horse had quite a lot of dirty lather coming out until the third cleansing lather and rinse. Even after the actual shave the horse retained a bit of funk, although it is minimal. This horse is a blend of mane and tail and had reasonable back bone and a little skritch. The Boar had more backbone and less skritch. Overall I'm extremely pleased with both brushes and the Gem Minute Man and really look forward to how the Boar will break in over time.

The Jeeves of Hudson Street Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #424 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star Lather Catcher Razor with a Star Wedge Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
