Thursday:

Face - 2 weeks of growth (1/4" or so...part Cherokee...can't grow a full beard...a goatee can take 4 months...also, still looking for work, so only shaving for interviews to conserve shaving goodies!)

Razor: TI 7/8 "Eagle" w/ Red Stamina Scales, stropped 10 X 0.5 Chrome on one side of a 4 sided Tony paddle strop, 20 X Linen, 20 X Russian Leather, 20 X Latigo, 20 X Horsehide....10 X Latigo, 10 X Horsey between the WTG and ATG.
Brush: Vulfix #2236
Lather: 1 snurdle Nancy Boy, 1 snurdel Proraso, a dribble of AoS Shave Oil in a heated mug, then transfered to a Moss Scutle
Prep: Vaseline Intensive Care Healing Formula worked into the beard, followed by steaming hot towel for 4-5 minutes.
Shave: 1st WTG (at this point, I again proved to myself why str8s rock - after the first pass, the shave would be considered acceptable in the workplace....amazing.), 2nd ATG (ear-to-chin), 3rd XTG.
Finish: Hot towel, cold towel, Bigelow Roe Tonic and Bigelow Citrus Tonic, Bigelow AS balm. Mustache and goatee trimmed with clippers.

Wade and butcher India steel.(Just rescaled with beautiful burl wood, mahogany maybe?)(Pictures when my PC is fixed)
Super badger - small Edwin Jagger
Leatherneck - not my favourite TGQ soap but nice and subtle and kind of traditional
20 strokes on the 12k to refresh followed by 10 on diamond then 50 on leather.
Finished with some American crew after shave cream.

A Splendid Shave

This was from Saturday, but I also used the same setup today.

100% Egyptian Cotton hot towel prep 3x
Dovo Bismarck razor
Trumpers Shave Cream (Rose)
Trumpers Skin Food (Coral) both before and after shave
Simpsons Chubby 3 kept warm
Antique Wedgwood bowl for lather
Dovo Strop between passes
Luke warm towel after each pass

Haven't done one of these in a while. But since today's shave was so good I can't resist.

Shower
Conditioner on stubble
Big freakin strop made by a member.
Honkin 7/8 TI silversteel
Self constructed brush (silvertip)
TGQ Bayrum and sweet orange shave soap.
TAGMSC aftershave balm (the last little bit of it...I'll miss it since it's beendiscontinued)

Freakin amazing.
