I could've sworn when I slapped on the aftershave that I heard Pete Rose saying " A man wants to smell like a man." :)
Beautiful shave in two parts tonight.
The first part started off with a nice hot shower
Van Der Hagen brush
C.O. Bigalow shaving cream
Thistle Cut. Co. restored by Glen 5/8 square point half hollow razor
cold water splash
BBS
Second part, two months worth of mustache and goatee growth not buzzed off at all
Van Der Hagen brush
C.O. Bigalow cream
Hen and Rooster 5/8 round point full hollow razor
cold water splash
BBS there too.
Oh yeah, can't forget the fools pass.
I'd call this a horny shave, and I don't know what it is, but I am getting fewer and fewer ingrowns.

It came honed from Lynn and Don. Excellent service.
A great shave leading to a BBS. :)
I almost feel sorry for the lemmings using the mock3.
Late yesterday evening:
6/8 Wade & Butcher
Loom Strop
EverReady pure badger brush
Kiss My Face Mint shaving cream
Alum block
Old Spice a/s
3 passes, bbs. Have had the KMF Mint cream for quite some time but had never tried it by itself, had always mixed it with either another cream or another soap. I was quite pleased with the scent and the cooling effect.

This morning I shaved with one of the two Ebay Genco's I got back from being restored. I could easily have left it at one pass but I was enjoying the smooth comfortable shave so much and suddenly ran out of face and time.

First shave with my new Elliot and it's a 1/2 hollow. It's freshly honed by Sham.
I'm not used to these I guess. I need to lighten up on my touch because I gave myself a good bit of razor burn, but at least I'm BBS.
Just retouched one of my own razors and took her for a test spin

sorry bout that mate. I had taken the picture before I'd finished cause I've tendency to forget so I figure take pics before finishing. Anyway, the edge was rather dull and I had to resort to my Torrey which by the way is a super shaver! I need re-pin and rebend the scale due to warping. But that's another thread. Carry on...Quote:
