Friday morning - late post

Prep: Face wash w/ CarrieM's bay Rum Bath Soap
Strop: Linen and TM Horse Hide
Brush: Vestevia Silvertip
SC: CarrieM's Lilac
Razor: J.A. Henckels Platinum 5/8's square point
Cologne: Royall Spice

A rare morning shave due to white outs on the way from home Thursday evening. Face lathered w/ the Vestevia, which is a little soft for face lathering, at least for me.

Results: smooth as silk shave and BBS finish.

Geo. Wostenholm 5/8
Semogue 1305
SRD Sandalwood ss
Dickinson's WH
Aqua Velva a/s
C&E Sandalwood a/s balm
SCS Sandalwood EDT

I look forward to the weekend to work on my straight technique. I am not able to get a BBS shave but I am patient considering I only use a straight once or twice a week and I know I'll get better. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoy the process and today was no exception. The SRD soap feels and smells great and responds well with the 1305. I put a little Royall Vetiver into the Dickinson's to cut the witch hazel smell and add a bit of scent. I prefer the Thayer's with aloe but the price of the Dickinson's can't be beat. Finished with the Sandalwood balm and Edt to face the single digit temps outside.

Well...today is NSD (No Shave Day) I am building a two day growth of stubble to use the Wacker Jungmeister on Sunday to wack it down....boy, I got to go Mrs Hog has the honey-do list ready. I have attached the 2009 photo collage. SHAVE ON
