Mitchell’s Wool Fat, the new 2024 Recipe.

SOTD-20240324-setup.png


Shave Report: IMO Lather performance was excellent and comparable to the Tallow version, with wonderful after shave skin feel like the Tallow one, worth a try. The Lather has a light pleasant generic manly spicy soapy aroma, scent strength 2/10. Overall an awesome smooth, clean & close shave, I’ll call it BBS from the Bison & Nacet blade combo.

After using only a SR for several months, I am back to my routine of using a DE or Injector M-F and a SR on weekends. First off is an “Old Type” with a patent date of Nov. 15, ’04 and a serial number dating it to 1920. Blades were thicker back then so I need to use a shim with today’s blades to get a comfortable shave and reduce chatter.
