Gebr. v.d. Sanden razor - generic silvertip badger brush - Acca Kappa 1869 cream - cold water splash - Thayer's witch hazel resplash - Acca Kappa 1869 balm - Pitralon original '60's After shave
Tunes: Ornette Coleman - The shape of jazz to come (1959)
A wonderful shave with the Belgian cleaver. The tunes are something to look out for. Ornette's debut album is one that's in my top list of Jazz albums. Groundbreaking at that time for its lack of chord structure and the free improvisations of the individual players. The good man is 83 now and still performing. That's dedication for you right there...
Tomorrow TGIF and in to the weekend. :)

Got some great news - won the January 1st prize giveaway! Thanks very much to Bluebriz for the R. Maximum Straight, MrMagnus for the homemade machined Aluminum Copper Backed Badger Hair 24mm Brush and the anonymous donor for the tub of Spencer Devon Spice Shaving Cream!
Was feeling high, then followed my 3 year old into the bathroom for my shave and ended up plunging an overflowed toilet. The shave was like a reset button though:
Mühle R89 (Feather), Mühle 21mm synthetic and Mike's Pine and Cedarwood.

This is some high quality steel. I had another one that had a Hydrofoil etched on the blade. The edge will hold a long time. Great gear guys. Happy shaving!

It's the weekend, so I put the DE away and brought out the straight for two passes, face and neck. I've had better shaves, but this is my 7th shave (2nd for the neck area) with a straight so I'm OK with the results.
Still working on lathering up with the Vie-Long. I did get a nice lather from the Proraso, just not a lot of it.
