This was kind of an English shave today with the MWF, EJ89, and Wilkie. I got the Wilkies from Scott, AKA DaltonGang on TSD, in a pif. He says they are from the late 60s early 70s. It was a wonderfully smooth blade. I just wonder where folks find these old blades. The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #90 Tuxedo synthetic brush.

Jayaruh #90

The #90 is fashioned from oak that sandwiched some purple heart in two directions. I fitted it with the new Tuxedo 24mm synthetic knot. This is really a great brush.

I made a matching razor stand.

Working on Some Brush Handles

Here are the #88, 89, and 90 with dry fit knots. #88 has had a coat of poly, but the other two are about to get their first coat.

JR#88: dark walnut and mahogany with 22mm Sunrise synthetic knot.

JR#89: Dark walnut and mahogany with 22mm VS boar knot.

JR#90: oak and purple heart with 24mm Tuxedo synthetic knot.
