Please remove the former offensive post! It belongs in a DE Forum or overall Wet Shaving site. NOT HERE !!! ;)
For me it was the usual cast of characters out for an against the grain pass on the neck and sides with the pakka wood scled Böker Tree Brand razor provided by David Uthe (How are ya, man? We miss you)

To redeem myself for posting the DE pic on Monday, I went with the biggest hunk of metal I own! Mondesir 7/8 straight razor, Savile Row 208, DR Harris Almond, Proraso Pre/Post balm. The bowl is a stainless steel mixing bowl. Lightweight, and I can float it in the sink to keep the lather warm!
Razor prep was 15 laps linen, 30 laps on the Tony Miller #2 hanging strop.

Today Friday
Hot shower as usual
silvertip badger brush
cremo cream (preshave)
classic shaving sandalwood soap
6/8 Puma - Puma Ring
coral skin food G Trumper
This was the shave of a lifetime. I am writting right after haven't even put on cologne yet.:D :D
Friday, and my first SOTD:
Taylor Pure Badger Brush (only one I've got at the moment)
King of Shaves Pre-Shave Oil
Taylor's Rose Shaving Cream
7/8 Stehlo
Trumper Coral Skin Food
... and a liberal application of a Clubman styptic pencil. :)
It was a good shave in terms of closeness (as good as with a safety razor, at least), but my technique still leaves a bit to be desired.
Not sure I like the King of Shaves oil. I think the healthy dose of menthol might just dull the senses enough to lead to some razor burn. But I'm hoping not.

Hot shower.
Hot six oil on the head, then headslick, used the headblade and shaved my head extra good cause I had time this morning.(no work)
Hot washrag on the face, hot badger brush, whipped up a great lather with classicshaving sandlewood soap.
Doubleduck Satinedge I just sharpened last night, shaved great, needs a little more licks on the pasted strop.
Cold water splash, followed by a witchhazel splash. Pat dry, used baldguyz moisturizer on the head, finished off with Pinaud Clubman original aftershave.

Hey RT, I see the [IMG, etc format for posting a picture within the post itself, but I can't seem to get the correct URL to cut and paste into my post. I put a pic in my gallery, but when I open that pic, I just get a line of garbage in my address window. That doesn't look like what you use. Help? .....Jeff
Saturday.

Taylor Lavender Shaving Cream (The purple bubbles are wild.)
Stehlo 7/8

Not so much of the clubman styptic pencil today. ;) Two passes, with and across, and a third just on the chin and neck.
I have to get my other razors sharp, or this is going to be a rather boring string for me. :)

After honing about 50 razors this week.....go figure, I needed a break so I treated myself to a shave with one of my Maestro Razors, a beautiful stag horn ATS 34. Awesome shave yesterday using a Vulfix 41 brush and some Pinaud Vanilla aftershave followed by some Trumper's skin food. Soap was TABAC. It was so nice shaving with one razor, that today I used an almost mint old Henckels number 18 and it is just an amazing shaver! WOWZA!! Gotta treat myself like this more often. Happy Holidays!! Lynn
No shave today...Santa has a beard!!!
