Another drizzly morning here, 31ºF/0ºC at 06:00 and 52ºF/11ºC this afternoon. Patches of sun on & off all day, so fair enough. A very nice shave indeed this morning, back with the Mitchell's and another old Sheffield that I'm taking a shine too. And the Semogue lowered just the 8mm makes all the difference - fantastic brush now. Have a good 'un folks.

homemade boar
I dropped the Wacker last night and the edge had a snaggle toothed appearance, so back to the hones. The shave was a little lacking this morning so another tune up will be coming up. Luckily no real damage was done. Have a good one.

Tuesday
Hot water prep
Joseph Rodgers hollow ground razor - Llyn Idwall finisher - Scrupleworks horween strop - generic silvertip badger brush - Coate's limited edition cream - cold water splash - Thayer's rose petal witch hazel - Floid balm - Acca Kappa Muschio Bianco AdC
A very nice shave with one of my finest blades freshly touched up on the Welsh stone.
Sir Bill, I can't follow suit on the Coate's. For me, this cream is "da bomb".
Perhaps it's because it's the old formula that's not available anymore.
The scent is magnifi-scent. ;)
The lather too.
I get a great lather and good cushioning as well as smooth, comforty glide...
My two cents. Could be nothing.
Now, let me attend to my youngest daughter's cough.
It's been going on all night.
:(
