Razor – Torrey 6/8
Brush – HESS Barbers Favorite#5
Soap – ARKO Men, Extra Sensitive shaving cream
AST – OSMA Alum
AS – HESS Sweet Pea
ASB – Sage & Daisy, Nag Champa
The vintage HESS brush works best as a scuttle brush with shave cream. The ARKO Extra sensitive lathers nice and has no scent. Torrey’s are wonderful American made shavers. I had some extra time to post so have a great week all.
psst.. any size Iwasaki ROCKS!:rock:

No straight razor shave for me today. I did something quite stupid while stropping and put a decent slice into my thumpad. Hopefully it will heal quickly and I'll be able to use a straight razor tomorrow. I decided to make myself feel better about my stupidity today by editing two pictures.

First time posting. Pic isn't the greatest cuz I just use my iPhone.
Result: Not bad considering I've been into this hobby for less than 6 months. The TI 6/8 half hollow grind takes a wicked sharp edge. Knock on wood, still haven't nicked myself yet.
Prep: hot shower
Brush: Simpson., Polo 14
Razor: Three Crosses and Micromatic GEM for the head
Soap: Tabac
AS: Blue Stratos
Edt: Penhaligon's Castile
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Uberclean indeed :D
Shaved the head and face at the same time/pass today ... You really should shave the head first if you want to be able to stretch your skin proper, when shaving the face *blushing*

Tuesday
Prep: September rain shower
Van der Sanden razor - Silvertip badger in bubinga wood - L'Occitane CADE cream - cold water splash - L'Oreal balm - Lorenzo Villoresi's Piper Nigrum EdT
Nice razor Magnus!
I bet it shaves like a dream.
This setup would make for a very good travel kit. The shave oil makes your face feel very soft and smooth, I wiped away three days growth with no problem.
I would miss the brush & lathering up part too much to continue using this all the time.

Merkur Slant | King of shaves | Bay Rum Lime
Was away over the past week experiencing Outward Bound.
Part of the course was to be dropped in the bush Solo for 2 nights. Minimal food, build a shelter.
No distractions, not allowed to leave your small campsite - I had about 3m x 10m at the top of a steep track.
Thought it was the perfect opportunity to try shaving without a mirror.
Created a sink with a plastic bag, a couple of sticks and some rocks.
Not a bad shave all things considered.
Prep: Hot shower – followed by Vitos pre-post-shave cream
SS: Proraso
Brush: Semogue 830 Boar Hair
Razor: Merkur 34C HD w/ Merkur “Super Platinum Stainless” blade

A very good shave from the Wacker wedge, not sure I'm to sold on a wedge though still prefer my full hollows and the way they shave, but on saying that the Wacker is a super looking razor, and a very nice razor to throw in for the occasional shave.

Razor | Jernbolaget | Cream | Irisch Moos | After Shave | TOBS Mr Sidney’s
The Jernbolaget shaved very close this morning, and smooth. I really like the Irisch Moos cream. Can anyone explain the name? I’m pretty sure it’s NOT in relation to a Moose named Paddy.
