Strop - Filly
Razor - Worcester 6/8 half hollow
Prep - Warm face wash
Soap - Bay rum soap
After - Cold splash of water with Bay Rum AS
Result - Not a bad shave, hurt like a *$(#@ I had my wisdom teeth removed this morning and when I tried to stretch the skins needless to say it didn't feel great. So I didn't stretch it as much as I usually do.

24mm Custom made Silvertip brush
Proraso SC
5/8 Hollow ground Sheffield Razor
VB Red Latigo Strop

Results: Pretty Good shave. can't beat the feeling of shaving with my great grand dad's razor!

Razor: Schuzle Weyer
Brush: Simpson t4 bb
Lather: D.R. Harris Arlington
Aftershave: Italian Floid

Two pass shave gives me great results. In the beginning of my straight shaving, I always went for 4 passes with bbs results; but it gave me alot of problems with ingrown hairs. Scything in my difficult spots has really improved my results.

Hogrider great to see ya back, brutha.

Tat, sport'n pink, say it ain't so bro... Ya know I'm just yanking yer chain.

Post shave: cold water, alum block (some sting, need a touch on razor?), semi dry, cold water, T&H 1815 Balm.

Heaven.

Welcome to the SOTD Bruthahood, sir, hope to see you around. I can't really comment on the sting, because I like a little zip at the end of my shave. I'm kinda a sick puppy.lol. Welcome aboard!

I do like the sting too but it sometimes indicates to me I'm pressing too hard and perhaps need to refresh the edge. I did not know about this until I learned about Alum from this very site four months ago. Old dog, new trick. Great to meet you!

Just couldn't resist shaving this morning, I thought that I would do just one good WTG pass, but it's almost impossible for me to feel satisfied without the ATG, super super close.

The Razor - this Wade & Butcher Celebrated that I got very inexpensive from Hawkeye5, wish that I had a current pic, I sent it to Max for a honing and it took as he put it 'a wicked sharp edge', it is freakin' awesome, not only did I send it to get honed but for him to look at and give me input about having him fix it up for me, while he had it he give it a zap on his trusty buffer, MAN it looks freakin' awesome just from the buffing.
The Brush - my good old Edwin Jagger medium silvertip with clear acrylic handle
The Soap - Ogallala with Sandalwood, I love the unique consistency of the thick lather that their soap produces
The AS - Nivea Men's Sensitive Skin After Shave Balm, just great stuff, readily available and inexpensive

Results - DAAAANNNNGGGG!!!! 16 hours later here and that wicked edged blade gave me such an incredibly close shave that a lot is still pretty darned smooth, the only thing that I don't like is that I will be hard pressed to justify shaving in the morning, but I probly can't resist at least one pass
