Razor: A TI, name unknown, no markings except for a worked spine... According to Lynn it was ground down from around 7/8.. Pity, I like the big'uns.. However, due to this grinding, it is taking some different angles to figure out.. I'm starting to get it though, and she's turning into a fantastic shaver when I find "the spot"
Brush: Stephen's Woodworking Silvertip #1. This thing started shedding heavily out of the box (25-ish the first shave, 20ish the second) but, after a week or two of use, it only lost one hair this shave... I think it's done, which is good, 'cause this is a fantastic brush.
Cream: The last of my sample of Al's Palermo (sage) Bomb. The container has a chip out of it -my doing- so this thing was dried to dust, but still worked quite well, and the smell is divine. Can't wait to get some Calypso and Tangier...
Strop: SRD Premium IV Bridle in extra long... God I love this strop. It is just fantastic, but the Modular paddle is getting picked up this weekend, so I had to give my Bridle some lovin' before I devoted all my adoration to the Modular...
Result: BBS on all the face except for the upper lip. The jawline is a little rougher than usual, but still smooth every direction except for ATG. And the neck, as usual, is giving me problems >.>, but all-in-all a fantastic shave from a fantastic setup..
Cheers,
Jeremy
