Thanks jhenry. She is droolsomelicious. Now just between you and me and the fence post, you notice that it is one of Max's fine craftsmanship and of course his photography is phenom too fortunately since I don't have a camera and am not into photography and we don't want him to get too much of the big head, but, drop dead gorgeous seems to be the only kind of work that he knows how to do.

And me too - WOW! - I think the most comfortable shave that I have had. Of course I did shower first, and used my new hot pot scuttle with uber lather. But I still think that the prep made a real difference too. Thanks for the awesome tip Max.

Nice one ControlFreak1!
Did you wet the razor in hot water before stropping it? I think that was on the guide sheet as well.
Additional thanks to Max for posting that true old school print to the digital world!

It's nice to see an old Keen Kutter on here. I have a few myself that I need to get up and running.

Love the Jolly Rodger!
The "Book" you seek is on page 12 of last weeks SOTD thread

Brush: Unnamed Amazon Badger (It works for me)
Razor: Gold Dollar 208, this guy impressed me!
Strop: SRD Webbed fabric -> TM Latigo -> SRD Bridle -> TM Horsehide
Prep: Hot water on face for 5 minutes while brush soaks and mug warms. Lather, Webbed fabric and Latigo, Hot Towel, Relather, Bridle and Horsehide. Hot water rinse off, relather, 2 passes (WTG and ATG), then a neck touchup.

BBS, and smells like TOBS.

Unrelated... Anyone ever notice that TOBS Avocado sorta smells like the inside of a Pumpkin?
