Ahh the beautifully Corseted Pink Globusmen? She is softly Dressed with a sharp sharp side, and one of the smoothest shavers I have ever used

I often see razors on here that make me drool, but your pink Globusmen has a special place in my heart. I will find one eventually!

Prep>> Hot shower + Proraso pre/post shave cream
Razor>> Boker 5/8 Edelweisse round point in bone scales stropped 40/40 in webbed and red latigo material...more on this later
Soap>>Tabac..boy, this stuff is addicting!!!
Brush>>Vulfix-The Strand a 22mm boar bristle brush, very nimble, and if you like to scrub hard while lathering, this is the brush to use.
Astringent>>Thayers
AS>>Old Spice

Adult drink>>Cardenal Mendoza spanish brandy..boy, it feels good going down now that the weather is nippy.

PS. I have been having problems with the Boker, or maybe I am the problem since I have difficulty handling a 5/8 blade. Anyway, after the shave, I gave the Boker a complete "physical" I pyramid honed it starting at 20 strokes...finished 35 polishing strokes in my naniwa 10K...it takes hair off my arm effortlessly, tonight I will be shaving half my face with it for the real test, the other half of the prize will go to the Wacker 7/8. Shave On.

Prep>>Hot shower + Proraso Pre/post shave cream
Razors>> Left side of face with the Boker Edelweisse. Two passes w. x. and have achieved bbs. So in conclusion, the razor is sharp, the problem is handling the nimble 5/8, my big hands, and the angle that I keep screwing up. The Jungmeister was used on the right side of the face....no problem there, of course it is a 7/8 blade. I like this blade width as well as the 8/8s.

Astringent>> Thayers
AS>> Proraso Splash
