Monday evening
Hot water prep
Greaves 15/16 razor - Ueberlather in bowl from Olivia's Eichenmoss, Palmolive cream and a drop of glycerin - New Forest badger brush - cold water splash - Thayer's rose resplash - Calani purissima balm - hot shower - Lorenzo Villoresi sampler "wild lavender" EdT
A very satisfying shave to the tunes of Stan Getz and Oscar Peterson. The Greaves is back in my rotation and it's a champ. Silky smooth in two passes. Today in the plane back from KRK to AMS I wondered again how big this planet actually is and how small we humans are. The universe is a mighty big space and the edge on the Greaves satisfyingly small and sharp and smooth. It somehow all came together today.

ama015; is that a TI Crown Silverwing in its vintage Cuban Mahogany scales? Nice! Originally Posted by ama015

A beautifully relaxing 2-pass shave. My son started grabbing me by the legs and trying hard to see what I was doing and particularly to see if he could grab the soap bowl (he loves my Italien soft soap ;-) just as I was finishing up the right cheeck across the grain so decided to go for the DE to finish off the neck.Last edited by Smoothy; 10-22-2013 at 12:57 AM.

You flatter me (not that it's unwelcome Originally Posted by celestino

What I am doing is using a table-top tripod that's mostly balanced on two legs at the sink -- even that helps. I really really enjoy this SOTD forum. I know how much time is required to compose a shot, take it, perform any post-processing, then upload and post it (and write the accompanying description) -- and then I remember that many (most?) of us aren't retired or "gainfully unemployed", like I am, and that they do this before going off to a (hopefully) full day's work... and I appreciate their efforts and "product" all the more. The way to add value to a hobby is through sharing it, and SRP -- the forum and its many members -- enables us to do just that.
You can have everything, and still not have enough.
I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

Puma No.1938 5/8 full hollow
Kanayama cordovan #8000
Rooney heritage stubby 2
Mitchell's wool fat
Witch hazel
Una Brennan rose moisturiser
Guerlain vetiver Edt
This Puma has to be one of the most user friendly razor I own, with it's patented special muted point making it very easy to use and this razor the perfect introduction choice for any newbie to straight razor shaving in my opinion.
