My strop came in yesterday, so today I stropped the J.M. Schmid. The Kiss My Face Cool Mint moisture shave face lathered well with the VDH Natural Boar. I used the str8 on my cheeks and finished everything else with two passes of the Schick M adjustable and Schick blade. It was a mighty fine shave. I finished off with a cold water rinse followed by Thayers Cucumber WH and Mennen Skin Bracer after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Today I took the chance to test my latest creation: a 30mm shave brush.

Heljestrand Frameback, La Toja Soap, SOC 2 band, Sandalwood Splash. Incredibly comfortable shave.

I love my Wackers, but then again, I seem to love every one while I'm using it. Great Shave, with a great cologne for a finish. I rarely use scents this strong, but today it just felt right.

Enjoy the week, gents...

I was feeling a little Picasso this morning.

The Red Imp is my favorite shaver, but needs a honing. I had to finish the shave with the Fatboy. The Astra blades are showing promise.
Have a good week, Gentlemen.
