Thanked: 116
This morning:
Prep: warm water + olive oil + steam towel
Brush: no-name badger
Soap: Wilkinson "blue" cream
Scuttle: Stacked Ikea "primitive mugs"
Razor: 11/16 hollow ground, jimp-less, Wade & Butcher
After: alum block, hot shower, Tonino Lamborghini forza "blue"
Good shave even tho the razor is a bit light for my liking (possibly because of 3 wedge shaves in a row).
No action shot today, but a pic of the blade just after cleanup last night. I still need to remove a 1/24th chip and the blade is good as new. The scales could do with a light polish, too.

Good day, Gentlemen!
Shower gel: Egoiste, Chanel
Soap: Old Spice in lion bowl
Brush: Genuine jadeite 24mm custom by Gregory Khan of Ikon Razors
Razor: The Pistachio Friodur by Mad Maximilian
AS: Osage, WH & Glycerin

Pictures don't do this new brush justice. Just a fine piece of craftsmanship in a chubby-style short loft. Wonderful!
And nothing sings on the strop quite like 7/8" wide German stainless steel...
