Pre-shave: Robeson's Shave Guide: http://straightrazorpalace.com/shavi...tml#post525369 Master's Bay Rum used for the pre-shave.
Speick Shave Stick
Pinaud Bay Rum + Noxzema for post-shave

I'm going to continue using the bay rum pre-shave idea for a few more shaves to see if I missed anything. I really didn't notice much difference this time. My face does feel great, though.

This thread already has an abundance of wonderful wonderful posts, thank you everyone and esp our gracious host Max, without whom we couldnt do this.

Prep>> Hot shower + Proraso Pre shave cream. Never leave home without it. Hot water rinse between passes finalizing with a cold water rinse after three passes. WAX.
Razor>>Boker Edelweisse 5/8 in bone scales. I tested the shapness of the blade and it left a clear runway in the underside of my arm. Yeap, its sharp!
Stropping>>SRD red latigo 30/30 before and after shave
Soap>>Tabac in ceramic tub. I will add some glycerin next time since it tends to dry somewhat before I end the shave.
Brush>>Mighty Omega boar bristle professional model.
Astringent>>Thayers Lemon
AS>>Proraso Splash
Cologne>>Glogenhasse 4711

Footnote>>A very nice BBS shave. SHAVE ON
Background music. Black Sabath-Children of the Grave. Ozzie rocks!!
Adult drink>>French bistro-Carvenet Souvignon. No gym tonight

Tap? plug Chain?
If you get stuck send it to me I will hone them out for free.

Nope, it didn't smell that badly at all. It's one that my Dad got new years and years ago, and I hope to re plug it after it dies. I like the longer handle quite a bit.

I know that I have not hit it on anything since getting it last week, but am not sure if they were there or not when I bought it. I did not realize how thin those edges were! I ran my thumbnail behind the edge, and could see the sharp edge actually deflecting from the pressure!

If, when I finally get a hone, I can't get it out, I might take you up on the offer! Thanks!

The very edge is thinner than a rizla, try a good stropping it can work wonders.

Hey Hog and tat2, uh, I'm not sure exactly how to say this, but, those brushes of yall's, they are a couple of little hotties, and I just wanted to let you all know that they were giving me this certain 'LOOK', if you know what I mean, I'm just saying if we were ever alone together I don't know if you should trust them, the way that they look at me I get the impression that they wouldn't be able to control themselves.
