ControlFreak1,
Did the pooch swallow Slartibartfast's razor?
Razor: Iwasaki size 1
Brush: Simpson t4
Pre-shave: Pinaud Clubman Bay Rum
Lather: 50/50 ~ Lea/C.O. Bigelow
Aftershave: Cap't Smith's Lime Bay Rum
My second shave with Robeson's Guide Bay Rum technique and I do enjoy the warming effect from the first application of bay rum during the shave. One thing I did learn from this technique: Sometimes if you put away an aftershave that you don't initially like, and try it a couple of months later(6 months in my case), you might 'grow' to like it. I absolutely disliked the fragrance of Clubman BR, but six months later I really like the smell.

Great BBS shave from the W&B.
I am starting to really like this razor. The soap is not really bad, either...
