Sunday Morning Shaving Soiree
MDC Sample will probably last as long as a half tub of some other soap. LOL
Maybe a 15 second load and it produced plenty of rich lather.
Of course the dense SilkSmoke knot helped a lot.
Overall a very Awesome shave experience.

Another excellent shave with A&Es The Novelist Ultima formula. This soap smells absolutely delightful. This was my first shave with a Vintage Wilkinson Sword razor. This particular model can take a modern Gem blade with no modifications, that's a big bonus in my book. The brush is a custom gaboon ebony and burlwood I made with a Maggards mixed badger boar knot. The luxurious lather was whipped up in a heavyweight copper bowl by Captains Choice Products. It's my favorite lather bowl.

Dickenson's Witch Hazel
Osage Rub
The Virgilio Valobra Shaving Soap lathered well with the Bethlehem Olive Wood Silvertip Badger. Two passes and touch ups with an Unmentionable Razor and an Unmentionable Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickenson's Witch Hazel and Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Since I have not sourced a "A" type AutoStrop, this B2 is my oldest example. What a wonderful shave.
The Century Boar No. 3 created a fine tub load and lather. Overall a Great Shave experience.

Tuesday Morning Whisker Whittling
Second shave with the new Parker and much better this time.
Found the angle better and the blade was more aggressive.
This is an extremely mild razor and needs an aggressive blade.
Le Pere Lucien is amazing and whipped up a fantastic lather.
Citrus Musk and Williams teamed up for a great Old School finish.
