The weather this morning reminded me of the Scottish Highlands :)

So I decided to start the week with
  • Calani Highland Honey
  • Mondial Brush
  • Cocodrilo #14
  • Tüff No. 1

Fine, smooth and sound. For the final scottish touch some kind of whiskey flavour would have been nice :D Any suggestions?

Have a nice week mo fhirdaumenh!

The buyer bought another one from me last year, at that moment I had two of them, now he has them both.
I can’t really appreciate Sheffield steel, I like the steel to be just a little harder. I have another one laying around, it has a crack in it, you can shave with but it feels weird, I will show a picture of it soon.

Pre-shave:
Acca Kappa White Moss
Shaving Soap: Crabtree & Evelyn Nomad
After Shave : Joop
Eau de Toilette: Joop

Shaving Brush: Shavemac Silvertip 2 bander 24 mm. Flat
Safety Razor: IKon 102
Razor Blade: Feather

Shaving with a straight or safety razor is of course a bit nostalgic.

And with melancholy you think back to the days when brands like Cabtree & Evelyn and GF Trumper still produced soaps that could be foamed.:augenroll1

Luckily I still have a shaving soap with the old formula and the Nomad with its delicious smell, so I keep wallowing in nostalgia. rasierensmilie

Aftershave has yet to be determined...

After the 2nd pass I was tempted to stop, but with an abundance of lather left, I went for a third pass. I could have done 4 passes easily.
Wonderful stuff that Mitchells wool fat
