Welcome to SRP and the SOTD. Keep posting and don't forget to follow up on our other forum threads, topics and WIKI.

Soap: Proraso
Brush: Bulfix 22 MM knot. Badger hair.
AS: Thayers Witch Hazel with Lemon....followed by
AS: Old Spice

After thoughts:

Overall a good shave. BBS in the cheek area and neck. Still need to work in the under lip area as well as mustache area. Being very careful in the coners of the neck and under-jaw.

Beard: 48h old stubble
Razor: (1kg) Gebr. Hoppe 5/8 hollow ground bought this morning
Soap: Tabac soap with a drop of Tabac cream
Brush: Badger hair, no-brand, German made
AS: Alum block followed by Tabac aftershave

After thoughts:

My first shave with a hollow ground blade, very close to BBS even tho I didn't go ATG. I finally managed to shave most of the mustache and most of the goatee. All in all, I shaved maybe 2/8th of an inch with the DE (under the nose and tip of the chin). No cut, no nick, no razor burn, will shave again

shave testing a few re-hones today. Couple of my razors needed to see the hones again. Took all of them back to the 8k Naniwa then to the diamond films down to 1 micron

Razors: FWE Special 6/8th's in white micarta, W&B 5/8ths in original horn, Joseph Rodgers 13/16th's in BloodWood, Simmon's Barbers Pet 7/8ths in black micarta.

Shave Soap: TGQ's Autumn Spice.+ 3 drops glycerin
Afershave: AOS unscented
