I bet you could guess what razor I used today

Shavemac Silver Tip 30mm Tallboy soaking in the Super Scuttle
T&H Pre-Shave
AOS Sandalwood SC
Maestro 8/8 Damascus
3 Passes
WWR
CWS
QED Alum Stick
Em's Cucumber Toner
Pashana Hair Tonic
AOS Sandalwood ASB
Finish with LP9 for the Mama

Lets just say DAMN

In case you want another look

Hot Shower

5/8 Joseph Allen spike
Tony Miller strop
Vulfix 374 silvertip
William's Mug soap
Pinaud Classic Clubman

Too me William's is a wonderful soap.
Though I don't use it all that often
I'm delighted with the results every
time that I do.

Same goes for the Pinaud.

Both are inexpensive and readily available.

Mon:

Rooney small style 1 brush
Trumper's Almond soap
5/8 Koeller
Royall Lyme A/S

The Trumper's soap is odd. It smells like a combination of Amaretto & baby powder. It took a bit more work to lather though it worked really well, but the smell is a bit much to take that early in the morning. I may give it to the wife for her legs and pick up a cake of sandalwood instead. She's got quite a collection of english creams that I've donated to the cause, so maybe it's about time she learned how to lather a soap...

Edit: Oh, and VG shave.

2 days growth
hot shower
face scrub


15/16 Dorko square point
Colleens Oak & Moss shaving cream
silvertip badger brush





Great shave today. I find the more times betwen shaves the better the shave.

Maestro Livi 7/8 Damascus & Ram's Horn
C&E Best Badger Brush
QED Man Lime Stick
Proraso AS Balm
Guerlain Vetiver

Just received the Maestro last week and just haven't the time to take proper pics. Man, he can put together a beautiful and very functional piece of art.

Plisson #10 Black Badger soaking in the Moss Scuttle
Dr. Harris Pre-Shave
MB Rosewood Soap
DD Wonderedge 5/8
3 Passes
WWR
CWS
QED Alum Stick
Thayers Rose Toner
Pashana Original Hair Tonic
Code Blue ASB
Finished with Opus 1870

Just Love that Blade so far the best non custom I have ever tried.

Wow Don -

you love the Wonderedge more than all the nice customs you have? I am very surprised and wonder why? Let me say that I wasn't taken with my Wonderedge (it was very nice, indeed - just not as nice as my top few; I still have to try a custom edge - soon, very soon)

my shave:
1 week's growth
Tabac ss
Plisson HMW 12 horn
Vintage Clydesdale strop
Moss scuttle
Thistle 6/8 or so "Damascus Blade" Hollow Spike - hideous faux bamboo scales (but I like them)
Trumper's alum
Trumper's CSF

Great shave! Thistle not a real Damascus blade, but a nice camel etch adds a light exotic touch. Very nice edge, 10 / 10 performer. Outsniped Bill Ellis on this one so I'm not that surprised, and I love the looks and feel.

Cheers

i just shaved with a W&B I got off eBay after spending all night honing it up.

I hadn't shaved in a week just in anticipation of getting this thing sharp, and boy was it worth it! BBS and no nicks or cuts!
