It is especially nice to get a great shave from an old straight razor that I've cleaned up and honed myself!

Today I was test shaving, but these were blades that I plan on keeping (for a change).
I present my two newest Greaves:
Ran the big one up the BBW/coticule and C12K (bevel was set yesterday)
Took the photo
Stropped on my TM
Nice hot shower
Georgetown Pottery Scuttle/Semogue 730
Bay Rum Uberlather (sooo nice, and such a great scent)
8/8 W Greaves & Sons wedge
13/16 - 14/16 - 13/16 W Greaves & Sons quarter hollow (nice smile, nice notch)
Witch Hazel
Ogallala Bay Rum

Hot shower
Brush: EJ Best Badger
Soap: The Shave Den – Old Spice type
Strop: Tony Miller Heirloom tri-strop
Razor: Böker "The Celebrated" 7/8
A "brain freeze" induced nick prevented today's shave from being BBS.
Note to self: The Böker still doesn't need honing...
