It's awesome stuff!! I have a bottle of the double strength stuff! Lasts ALL day!

You won't be disapointed!

It sure does feel good, would have taken a lot longer without the guidance of fellow SRP'R (and work pal) STAGGA100 so i guess i should say a big thanks to him

20 passes on the linen, 20 passes on the leather for the Clauss.
Started using the Clauss, but it is going to have to go for a touch up, not sharp enough for me.
So in mid shave I switched to the Expert Barber 400, knowing it was sharp. I gave the Expert Barber 20 passes on the Black Bear leather side.

I'm becoming addicted to Ogallala Bay Rum. It is hard to choose between Cavendish Black and the OBR.
2 passes, the first with the Clauss, the second with the Expert Barber. Hot water rinse, alum, cold water rinse then applied OBR a/s balm. BBS.

Great Shave

Irena's soap is really great, provides great lather, plenty of cushion and
slip and great moisturizing properties as well



Plenty of lather remains after a 2 pass shave
