I had intended to shave outdoors today, but as I had finished my bath the sun had gone into hiding so I had to move my gear back inside.

Great pic, mastermute!

3 shaves within 1 week is usually unheard of for me. (It's one of those slow beard growth + being retired = once a week shaves) This week was differant. I had guitar lessons on Saturday, and 2 Dr's apointments this week, so I wound up with 3 shaves this week. Was quite pleased with the result.

Implements of mass destruction:

brush: Tweezerman pure badger
strop: Black Bear brand - freshly treated with neats foot oil.
soap: bay rum from ebay with a touch of Proraso from B&B's bst thread
razor: Barclay brothers spike
three passes wtg, atg and xtg
results: bbs with only a one spot of razor burn or scrape, styptic pencil took care of it in no time.
A/S balm: Bigelow Bay Rum a/s balm (love the smell of this stuff)
Krew Kut stick for my hair and I was good to go.
