Shave of Quality!!
Good day gents!!

Saturday shave:

Razor - Grah Plumacher Silver Ring 5/8? I have not measured it...
Brush - Semogue 1800
Soap: La Toja stick grated into a bowl
After - Dickinsons Witch Hazel, Floid Vigoroso AS, Nivea ASB and Bigelow Blue cologne

I picked up the Silver Ring for less than 20 bux - it polished up really nicely. I honed it on Thursday after work, and was really pleased with the edge. I am a definite novice at honing, but the edges I am getting seem to be working for me.

I am really liking this Semogue brush. I had a 1350 for a while, but it seemed to get floppy quickly. so far the 1800 seems to be stifffer. Excellent lather and the handle is very comfy.

Have a good weekend gents.
