Sedef with Arko

Henson AL13 mild; NACET
Mühle 35H250
La Toja (shave sticks mushed into a ceramic bowl)
YSL Kouros after shave

I purchased this 23mm STF Mühle brush three months ago.
In the 5-6 shaves I've had with it so far it has been shedding hairs like this after each shave.

Sent the brush y'day back to the Mühle distributor who actually have their office outside Beijing.

What interesting razors in your collection!!!

Thank you! It was a period when engineers and designers were very creative. This Art Deco Streamline design razor is just a good example of that. Very good shaver, too. It is adjustable, so I can crank it up until it's very efficient. Quite comfortable, as well.

A better result than the effort I put in. DFS+ with a bit of AS punishment, after a 2 pass somewhat rushed pre-work shave.

Excellent shave with a fresh Feather and the RC100+ far more comfortable and smoother than the London Bridge.

Nice looking brush there . . .

How did the Dominus go? Have watched a review online but would be interested in your thoughts?

Thanks

Wednesday 17th July...

Two full passes complete with the shavette today. Some spotting around the sensitive parts of my chin but they're pretty much gone with the cold water and splash. Finally did the chin, under the nose and against the grain under the chin too. All very nervous and jittery but complete. The RK Pro Edge #3 was yielding a bit and I think a slightly blunter blade is a better option for now. Was surprised how much better the against the grain went than I thought. I can't normally do that with a DE razor without an across the grain first.

Special mention to the slick soap which allowed this to happen. Just rubbing it around in my face was enough for the tidy ups let alone the rest of it. Nice one @Brianh

Very pleased. Enjoy your day.

The RC120+ felt glorious in use but I’m now feeling a touch raw in some areas like under my chin and neck. It’ll be interesting to see how it feels with a thicker soap.
