Nice. The razor needs a few more passes on the coticule, but its almost there!

Light but Speick smells nice!
Brush: SR3824
Razor: Dovo #109 "Schloss / Burg" with plumwood scales
Cream: Speick
ASB: Proraso
A dull razor makes for a bad two-pass shave (and my newbie technique doesn't help either). I'm having it honed to-morrow, courtesy of floppyshoes. :y

My birthday shave. The only lack was the several nicks. I really should know better than to wield a blade after breakfast Bucks Fizz.... :rolleyes: Gotta say, it was made by the smoke. You poor colonials, not being allowed such pleasures :p
Great looking razor Neale!Quote:
