With the birthday celebration this past weekend, I didn't have time to get my planned razor for Tarnished Tuesday ready to go, so I went with stainless steel instead.
Maybe next time...

So, I was all excited for this one. I had the perfect razor to use, but it was going to be a challenge. A worn down "The Celebrated Hollow Ground Razor" by A.J. Jordan (lower left corner) that is now worn to a wedge. I spent a significant amount of time getting it shave ready and thought it was there.... but it wasn't, I was so focused on getting it there that I never really truly tested it other than the shave. I should know better... T_T Ah well, batter up was my other battered blade (on top of soap). This baby shaves a true treat, even gave it a few licks on a test coti. Plus it was my first time with Thayer's, very interesting stuff and the lady wanted to try it. I may not be able to use it much if she's steals it all....

Razors: A.J. Jordan "The Celebrated" and "Mr. Sandy"(Forget the maker...Apologies)
Soap: Mitchells Wool Fat
Brush: AoS Badger
Post: Thayer's Original, Alcohol free
AS: Pinaud Original

​Tarnished Tuesday brings this Challenge Razor, with a cool etch of a rifle on the back. Blade is heavily warped and the only restore work I did on it was cleaned the rust off. Has a killer edge tho...Also thought I'd do a KISS shave with this one, as you can see by the rest of my gear this week.
