Titan ACRO T.H-70 dressed in African black wood timber scales. Edge is finished and maintained on a hard black Arkansas natural whetstone.

After a week of lathering with the Simpson Special Best Badger stubby brush, I have decided that it is just too small for me. I will PIF this brush to someone who may have more luck with it.

SOTD Sunday 22 September

  • Razor Gillette Adjustable FatBoy G1 (5)
  • Blade Sharp Jaws Platinum (3)
  • Pre-Shave Tricare Goats Milk

  • Soap Proraso – Wood and Spice
  • Post Shave Thayers unscented Witch Hazel

The Morning Shave.
The Sharp Jaws blade was in my 1961 Gillette FatBoy today.

3rd use on the Jaws blade, these blades come double wrapped.
Very nice daily shave, comfortable with no weepers or irritation.
I use the Badger brush once per week, to allow it to dry thoroughly.
I usually use it with Proraso, so its beginning to keep a little scent in the brush, of the Wood & Spice and Sandalwood.

I was watching a recent upload of Chuck’s Shaving Channel; he covered his hometown.
Particularly interesting to see the history of Petticoat Junction Amusement Park.
Chuck has a lost a lot of his channel Subscribers due to a YouTube problem.

If you have a time, drop in and have a look, the YouTube algorithm probably no longer keep his videos on the main page.
