Prep: Man Cave facewash
Prep Molton Brown shave oil
Brush: Coates Fitswilliam badger
Lather: GFT Eucris
Razor: Joseph Rogers 6/8
Post: GFT Coral skin foods
The Joseph Rogers is one of my favourite razors and I think it is at the point now that Carl mentions, recently honed and after 3 or 4 shaves is really smooth, no dragging at all this morning, resulting in a really smooth shave. I initially thought I would not be able to use this razor on my beard but after a few trips to the hone it is tuned in nicely now

Some classics simply go together...
He saw a lawyer killing a viper on a dunghill hard by his own stable; And the Devil smiled, for it put him in mind of Cain and his brother Abel.

They weren't kidding when they advertised 'Carbo-Magnetic'! When I set the bevel on my 325DMT you could feel the magnetism in the razor drawing it to the steel.
Another great 3 pass shave to start the week.
