Shave of Nov 22
>>A hot shower followed by proraso cream. >>Lathered up with Speick cream (red tube) + five drops of glycerin to prevent drying, and it sures helps! >> Stropped the Henckels INOX 7/8 20 laps in webbed fabric and 30 in red latigo...nice sharp edge. There is nothing like properly stropping a razor before the shave. >> Astringent: Thayers Lemon + Aloe Vera>> AS: Proraso splash.>>>BBS Shave on.

Sunday Night Shave, KOS pre oil, hot wash and Towels, Palmolive Uberlather, Men-U Boar Brush (which despite my first impression is become very nice to use), Globusman 6/8 hollow Freshly Honed after rebuilding bevel to remove frown, Alum block after cold rinse, Boots Witch Hazel and Tea Tree, followed by bath, Blue Jean Man EDT, and bed!
2 days growth, result= not too shabby, not too shabby at all fella's!

Why thank you, I know what you mean about the scales, I find them strangely attractive too, and in use it feels very solid, I am not too informed when it comes to Globusmen but I imagine it is a high end product. Originally Posted by DPflaumer
