Same Goes for Me, glad you didnt get hurt dude

I have every other time. The only reason I didn't today is that I found out that I got accepted to the school I want to transfer to on Tuesday and next week is finals week here so I packed everything yesterday. So it just about figures that they day I drop my razor my safety towel wouldn't be there to catch it.

CONGRATS on your acceptance and good luck with your finals.

Soap : Speick

Brush : Colonel Conk Travel Brush

Razor : Geo.Wostenholm "Pipe Razor No.149"

AS: Proraso After Shave Balm



Just got this today. Won it on ebay a week or two ago. A real bargain! It was in fantastic shape. Almost perfect.
Cleaned away a few small spots with a little MAAS. It wasn't shave ready when I got it but I got a pretty good shave
from it after 30 laps on a pasted strop and 40 on leather. Still I think I'll send it out to a honemeister. It's not as sharp as it should be.

RW 7/8 Full Hollow::Trumpers Violet SC::Penhaligons Opus 1870 Balm & Edt:: and Plisson 16 HMW

Beard Prep: Bath/Conditioner
Razor: Clover Four 5/8 Hollow
Strop: Dovo 40 Canvas, Leather 60 After Honing on the Coti
Brush: Kent Pure Badger
Soap: NOS! Old Spice
Astringent: Boots Witch hazel/Tea tree
ASB: Nivea for Men Cooling ASB
AS: Old Spice
Result: BBS (just)
Conclusion: Old Spice soap rocks! the Clover Four is a nimble little thing and as pretty as a peach, I do prefer a 6/8 or bigger as a rule, but this thing feels like a surgical instrument.
