    Pre:Shave: I Coloniali
    Soap: Omega
    Brush: Omega 620
    Razor: CJB Custom Scales
    Razor 2: E/J 89
    Blade: 7 O'Clock
    Post:Shave: Alum Block
    Post:Shave 2: I Coloniali Facial and Aftershave Balm
    A/S: Pitralon Classic


    I have been attempting to master the straight razor using a CJB, I have made some steps to getting it right but the it is a slow learning curve. When I do get it right the finish is first class. I hope to have it down by Christmas then I can treat myself to a proper Straight which I hope will be a little easier to use, and show a little more forgiveness. Have a great weekend Gentlemen.

    A sweet smooth shave to end the work week. The lather bowl was an estate sale find for the princely sum of 3 dollars, it seems to be the perfect shape, the lather just explodes out of this bowl! 3 passes with the intoxicating scent of the Cade soap filling the den and I am off to work smooth as silk and smelling good!
