Razor: 6/8 Dorko
Brush: Shavemac D01
Soap: DR Harris Almond
A/S: Vintage Pinaud Eau de Quinine hair tonic (used as tonic and a/s)
Edt: Trumper's Eau de Quinine

Razor: Joe Chandler 11/16
Brush: Don McIcvor Custom in Japanese Horse Chestnut
Soap: Tabac
AS: Burley's Executive Lime

It was a good/bad shave. The Brand New brush was fabuloso. But the JC is not treating me right. If looks could kill, but... I'm not feeling the love.

Shower: TGQ Lavender Bath Soap
Shave Soap: TGQ Provence Lavender
Brush: Stephen's Woodworking 25mm in Cocobolo
Strop: SRD 3" Latigo
Razor: Geo Wostenholm&Sons I-XL 6/8 Round Point
Aftershave: TOBS Mr. Taylor

Ruprazor Paladin 3" Horsehide
Ogallala Sandalwood SS
Vulfix Boar Bristle
R. Klaas 11/16 "AM"
Skin Bracer ASS

My best shave to date. I am BBS the next morning. The Robert Klaas never disappoints. A two-pass shave WTG/ATG. XTG isn't even necessary with this blade.

Omega #10049 boar
Ogallala Bay Rum ss
Joseph Elliott 6/8"
Superior 70 Bay Rum
Meehan Bay Rum

A bay rum junkie's dream, especially after St. John's Bay Rum bath soap. I like the Ogallala's scent and performance, but it clearly has some cinnamon in it and burned my skin just a bit. Surprisingly good soap, though.

Today was something of a special shave for me, as a friend of mine is going to be giving me a "touch test" to see what a sharp straight can do. Naturally, I reached for a special blade.

TM stropping
Hot shower
GTP scuttle/Semogue 730
Bay Rum uberlather
8/8 George Savage & Sons "The Savage"
Ogallala Bay Rum AS
Nivea ES balm

Started off with one blade only to discover it needed some touching up on a hone and or a lot of stropping, so I had to go back a trusty blade. So this is what I ended up with:

Joseph Rodgers &Sons 13/16th's in Bloodwood.
Crab Tree and Evelyn NOMAD
Shaveden West Indian Sandalwood After Shave Milk
Freshly Pumiced 3 wide black Latigo strop.

Good shave, but interrupted by my toddler and ended up slicing into my index finger.

I've had better shaves....next time I'll make sure to shave before family is up and about.

Cheers
