Thursday ~
Prep with the recently rediscovered 'Robeson' method, G5 hot pot scuttle with Taylor of Old Bond Street Rose Cream massaged in for a minute, Dominica Bay Rum sample (still hooked on the Ogallala)
An old Wade & Butcher that I got very inexpensive in not great shape listed as a practice honing razor, sent it to Max to have him look it over for a restore and decided to have him hone it while he had it, so I guess to tease me he gave it a zap on his trusty buffer and MAN! WOW! I wish that I would have known that he did that and I would have tried to get him to take one of his awesome photos of it while he had it also, even though the scales need work, with just the quick buff it looks gorgeous, he guessed it at about 1/8th to 1/4 hollow about a 6/8ths with barber's notch, says The Celebrated Medium Hollow Ground, and took as he said a 'wicked edge', love this one
G5 Scuttle with TOBS Rose Cream and my fave Edwin Jagger medium silvertip w/ clear acrylic handle
Nivea Sensitive AS Balm
Truefitt and Hill Freshman Cologne
Es Wunderbar!
