Prep: hot shower
Brush: Simpson Polo 8
Razor: Friodur
Soap: Tabac

Result: very, very clean indeed :D
As usual I used a couple of Neils strops (and as usual, allways the carodvan one), such good work, made by an excellent crafts man!! You'll be missed, my friend!!

I don't think so, he was a good man and it's never wrong to pay your respects, I think.Quote:

Neil will forever be missed in our community. A wonderful friend, with a wealth of knowledge.
The forum as well as the world, wont be the same again.

A nice Sunday shaving stand shave with a Swedish frameback straight razor, a badger hair shaving brush, Col. Conk Bay Rum soap, Myrosol Aqua de Limón aftershave, jazz playing in the background and a Cooper's stout...

Oh no, just saw that Neil Miller has passed on. :-(
Funny thing is the razor I used was restored by him and the strop I used was one of his. A loss of a fine craftsman....
