Strop: Straight Razor Design's 3" Bridal
Brush: Vulfix 21mm Pure Badger
SC: Straight Razor Design's Lavender
Razor: Fredrick Reynolds 8/8s honed by Lynn
AS: Old Spice

Excellent shave! Love the SRD products. I very rarely shave with a razor honed by someone other than Jr, CarrieM or myself so it was a real treat to shave with one of Lynn's edges! Thank you Lynn!

Prep: Hot towel + Proraso cream pre/post shave
Razors: I touched up the Boker and the DOVO in the Naniwa 10K so I tested both by shaving the left side of my face with them. Finished up the right side of my face, chin and around lips with the ERN Ator 6/8 round point. All three razors were stropped 25 times in webbed fabric and 25 red latigo. The Boker and DOVO were superb. Just a touch in the Naniwa did the job.
Brush: Omega silver tip badger, 26mm knot, bulbous loft.
Soap: MWF
Astringent: Thayers Lemon
AS: Musgo Real.
Results: BBS most of the face except front side of chin and underlip.

Razor: ESPE
Soap: SRD Patchouli
Brush: Vulfix 21mm Pure Badger
Strop: SRD Bridal
Aftershave: Stetson
Shave: Both me and my dad enjoyed the shave and id rate it as "second layer of skin sharp because i got my first REAL slice with this guy today.

Prep: Hot Shower
Brush: Rooney 1/2
Soap/Cream: MB/Proraso (running desperately short of the soap, hoping my Prairie Creations order takes off soon!)

Razor: Boker 6/8 (http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...tml#post486016)

Aftershave: Witch Hazel/Kiehl's Ultimate Aftershave

Razor just arrived, first shave with it. Man oh man is that sharp! A little harsh, as my lather was lacking a bit, but that first pass, with the prime lather, was something else. I don't think I've ever had anything take off a few days' growth that smoothly or easily.

Location: 40°50'38.61"N 73°56'19.68"W
Razor: Filarmonica #13 Doble Temple
Brush: Rudolph Vey Horn 2 Band
Soap: Arko
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel with Aloe
AS: Ogallala Bay Rum
Result: BBS. A very respectable Birthday shave from an old friend, the 13. Arko rocks, highly recommended, and cheap too. The Rudy Vey brush is so nice, what can I say, I was feeling horny. But the Ogallala is all gone, dammit!
