Good shave, Michael. I appreciate that you include observations from shaving all week with the products and not just one day of use.

I think I do better with the week long reviews, I can just get a much better view of the products and how they work. First impressions -- often not right (at least for me)!

I have the John Doe.. I'm not a huge fan.. lather seems to be very very light. I used with a omega silvertip badger brush. It seems to produce lather to a certain point, other soaps I own just burst with thick lather that is rich... it's ok slickness is just enough to be alright nothing to say WOW! it does get the job done for a good shave Mr. Michael I agree with your assessment of the soap..

Hi Michael. A unique idea that adaptive brush handle. Soap really generated a lot of lather. Good job. Thank you.👍
@mfreedberg
@mfreedberg 4 года назад
Lot of lather, but missing that extra edge of deeper slickness. No doubt there will be a v2 of this soap, and I will be happy to give it a try!

Very good shave Michael. It's always good for a new soap maker to show up. The more the merrier for us wet shavers. I've got my final razors chosen which are Leaf which uses half DE blades, The Marvel which you used last week and the Gillette Skin Guard.
@mfreedberg
@mfreedberg 4 года назад
It's a testament to the Marvel that it is one of the three razors you are using, given the design of the other two! I see you have also been corking your Feathers, glad to see that is helping smooth out your shaves!
@knightmare1015

Sapone holding, loading bowl🙄 Lol, nice one Michael💈 Neroli for me is PAA Planet 9, fantastic in the CK-6 formula👌 The brush handle with the screw in knot receptacle is not a new idea but one that is perhaps gaining in popularity🤔 The handle shape is nice. The AG soap looked good, although a bit airy on screen, hence the dryness in the post? Another good video and review👍 Enjoy!
@mfreedberg
@mfreedberg 4 года назад
It's a bowl that does ALL KINDS OF THINGS! I really like the idea of the replaceable knots if you find a handle you love. This one works really well for me, and I hope other vendors will offer knots with a thread option. We'll see, maybe it will not end up being a "thing", but let's "knot" count it out yet.

Nice shave and review, Michael! As I posted to Ruds review of this new artisan soap, I think I'm spoiled by the superfatted artisan soaps I've become accustomed to using. There's nothing wrong with good soap with a simple ingredient list. But, I'm concerned about how it will survive in a niche market where artisans are pushing the envelope of shaving soap performance. So, I just can't let it go: you have 2 diff John Doe soaps from Arsenal Grooming that have diff scents? 😋 (sorry, couldn't resist) Cheers! -Rob
@mfreedberg
@mfreedberg 4 года назад
did I screw that up? ARGH, well, I tried... Hard to see how new vendors make it in today's market without an extra edge because the competition is *so good*. I too feel spoiled by all these super fatty, milk-based soaps, and it's important to keep in mind that this soap may well work perfectly for many wetshavers.

Nice products and shave (hope that brush sees some success). Have you ever considered making your own aftershave for that empty Myrsol bottle? I saw one aftershave recipe that includes Everclear (pure grain alcohol), Witch Hazel (without alcohol), Glycerin, Jojoba Oil, plus essential oils. I hope to try this or a similar recipe (including ground up menthol crystals and/or aspirin to the concoction). A clear aftershave in that empty Myrsol bottle might look pretty classy, though I bet you'd rather refill it from a 1 liter bottle of Myrsol Formula C. Gifts & Care has it (for around $21 plus S&H), but no longer ship aftershaves to the US. I thought Maggard's had 1 liter bottles in store, but you'll probably have to contact them since it's not on their site.
@mfreedberg
@mfreedberg 4 года назад
Wait, there is a 1 liter bottle of Formula C? And G&C no longer ship to the US? ARGH! I have some menthol drops, I was going to add them to some other aftershave samples, but I could make my own. As for the bottle, I recycled it in part because the lid had cracked unfortunately. I am going to buy more, though, not to worry!

Hey Michael, loving the videos, I’m currently growing my beard and just shaving lines and shortening the neck area. Have you ever considered growing either a mustache or goatee while shaving the rest?
@mfreedberg
@mfreedberg 4 года назад
"growing my beard and just shaving lines and shortening the neck area" - you MONSTER! I once shaved off my beard and left the mustache, and it was, uh, NOT GOOD. I have had a mustache before, for Movember, and it had to go. Check that out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9sjH9LIG3B4.html

Kudos on the pronunciation of Mühle! It's the first shaving vid I've ever seen in which "Mühle" sounds kinda German. (Ausgezeichnet.) Also, Razorock makes razors with a similar (very similar) shaving head; any thoughts on how the performance of this Mühle compares to a comporable Razorock?
@mfreedberg
@mfreedberg 4 года назад
I meant to say it with an exaggerated German accent, and forgot!! I used to speak German fluently, and I still speak it pretty well (I think), so Mühle is not hard to say. As for the RazoRock version, no, not sure I have ever used their clone of this head. Which one is it?
@edwardmiles6513

You never write what blade you used - perhaps blades are not a big part of the experience for you. I got the EJ synthetic silver tip fibre which is very similar to the knot you used, it works well for me.
