SOTD: Saturday 22 August Friday 28 August

[p.b]

The first time I’ve owned a 200g tub of a MdC soap (I once had a 50g share) and I’ve got some work to do to workout how much to load and how much water to add, maybe I should bowl lather for a while until I get the ratios right. A good shave but I know I can get a better one from this razor and soap.

Yes, a Jokmae which takes the Artist Club type blade. Homeware | Premium Manual Razors & Shaving Tools Since - Jokmae Razors

There was a model with an adapter that allowed for two blades.

Thanks, that element confused me did not look like standard SE blades. I have the other model on order.

I know you are an expert soaper, Paul. So take this with a grain of salt… MdC has a reputation of needing to load only a little bit because the lather “explodes.” Don’t fall for it. Load your knot as you would any other soap and add water slowly. It can handle more water than one may initially think. The lather glistens when properly hydrated. Slick City.

Feather DX Kai Pink both passes!
GC .76 Timeless Ti Crown Viking Sword (3) touch ups only around van dyke
Semogue Owners Club
Snake Bite soap and splash

A near perfect shave with the Feather. In baseball parlance, two passes, no nicks, no blood, no errors!

Learning is good 9.9/10
