Black Beer No. 1 and Wee Scot: Endurance effort

A squat tub of shaving half of whose height is the black lid and the bottom half a brown label bearing in white the legend "Black Beer No. 1 — with German Black Beer and Essential Oils from Rosemary and Lemongrass." On top sit a stainless steel DE razor lying on its side and a small badger brush, the Wee Scot, bearing the signature of Alexander Simpson. To the right is a small glass bottle with a white pump top and a yellow label that reads "Grooming Dept Rejuvenating Serum."

I decided to try again to see how many passes I can get from the post-Vulfix Wee Scot. I chose another Meißner Tremonia alcohol-themed shaving soap, Black Beer No. 1, and loaded the brush well.

The three shaving passes went very well. Grooming Dept Moisturizing Pre-Shave is a miracle prep, and this is quite a good soap. Its ingredients include clay, but I had no trouble loading the Wee Scot.

Aqua, Stearic Acid, Cocos Nucifera oil*, Glycerin*, Beer, Potassium Hydroxide, Orbignya Oleifera oil*, Sodium Hydroxide, Rosmarinus officinalis leaf oil, Macadamia terifolia oil, Talc, Red Clay, Cympopogon flexuosus Herb oil, Citric Acid, Simmondsia chinensis oil*, Maris sal, Citral, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool.

* Organic

I do like Rockwell’s 6S shaving system: sturdy, efficient, comfortable, and friendly. I got a wonderfully smooth result with no problem, and then I lathered as if for a 4th pass. I did have ample lather, but somewhat less — enough for a pass, though. Still, I thought the 5th pass lather would be rather sparse so I left it at 4.

I finished with 1 drop of the Rejuvenating Serum, which left my skin feeling first-rate.

This is a coffee morning, and I’m enjoying it. I have the Clever Coffee brewing process down pat, so it’s quick and easy — and it makes great coffee, though of course that depends a lot on the roaster. Victoria has several excellent coffee roasters in town, so we have a good selection.
