Saponificio Varesino Felice Aromatica Shave Soap
Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger Fan
Puma #22
Scrupleworks Shell .. 30/60

Tuesday

Blasberg razor
Torolf horween strop
New Forest Tubby brush
Nomad soap
Muschio Bianco AdC

Second run for the Tubby this week. With this soap it performed flawlessly. Nice thick creamy lather.
The only "tunes" today were nature's tunes: thunder and lightning over Amsterdam.

First shave with my new Japanes Hanamasa 7/8 frameback, a very nice 2 pass have. This is one hell of a shaver!!

Razor--Test shave vintage Ontario Cutlery 6/8.
Hone--Thuringian finish.
Strop--SRD Premium 1 and old Illinois 454.
Soap--Willmo-->soap concoction of William's Mug and Creamo.
Mug--Old gimme coffee cup.
Brush--The defeated badger.
Aftershave--Alum block, 5 drops EVOO, and a dab of Mennen Afta.
Result--4 pass just for the fun of it and a BBS shave. Willmo is definitely a top tier soap concoction. This was the last of the 7 razors I honed for my cousin. I'm kind of sad that I have to return them. Maybe I should buy a couple more for my own rotation..........whatcha think? You all have a great rest of the week and great shaves.
