Trying to work through some items that are almost gone. The Mitchell's Wool Fat is an excellent soap and I'll be replacing it eventually but not before I've finished off some other items. So, you'll be seeing it a lot in the coming weeks/months along with Art of Shaving Lemon, Taylor of Old Bond St. Lemon & Lime Cream & a Speick soap stick.

Shave of the Day Jan. 13, 2011

Razor: 5/8 Boker
Soap: Irisch Moos
Brush: Badger & Blade Essential
Aftershave: RazoRock Alum / Brut ASB

Rushed shave today! Hate it when I wake up late. The Irisch Moos is a shave stick. Primarily used for traveling, these are very convenient to have as the take up less space and require less time because you rub the soap directly onto your face and build lather from there.

Razor: 15/16 Henckels Friodur
Soap: Calani "Dubai"
Brush: Penworks 22mm Finest
Aftershave/Cologne: Aqua Velva Musk



Calani makes great artisan soaps that are 100% natural and hand made in Germany. The "Dubai" scent combines sweet and spice notes featuring Citron, Amber and Sandalwood scents. The Penworks brushes are one of the best values in traditional wetshaving and can generally be bought for under $50.
