Lovely photo, Nikos and it is nice to see you posting here. That Semogue brush looks fantastic.

Decided to end April with one of my favorite vintage razors. I was fortunate to source this NOS LaResche 51 from the very end of their safety razor production. It’s a marvelous shaver. Since I have to be out of the house for the rest of the day, I decided to keep things brief today. My oldest son sent back my heavy (1 lb) Rearden 316L SS handled synth knot brush. It’s much heavier than other brushes, but the synthetic knot is unique in that this type of knot is usually used in make up brushes. It’s softer than my other synthetics and seems to retain water better. It generated a great 6 drop M-Bomb salted MWF lather for my two and a half pass (WTG, ATG, ATG) face and noggin BBS shave this morning. I feel clean, cool, smooth and refreshed today!

RAZOR: LaResche 51
BLADE: Polsilver (2)
PREP: Cold water rinse 
BRUSH: Rearden Razor 316L SS Synth Knot
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat salted with 6 drops of M-Bomb
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with Glyce Glycerin soap followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with Murray & Lanman Florida Water AS/Cologne
