Notes: The razor just arrived in the mail today. I couldn't wait to shave with it. I was not disappointed. The Friodur provided a smooth shave, and the custom scales provided a whole new level of satisfaction to the shaving experience.

That is a truly beautiful razor.
I've seen a few of that guy's scales, and I am amazed by them.
Congrats.

sfcablecar,
There is nothing not to envy in that array. Beautiful razor; beautiful accompaniments. Well done, sir!

Razor: Schuzle ivory tang
Brush: Shavemac #177
Lather: l'Occitane shave cream*
Aftershave: l'Occitane Cade AS

Well, Sotd bruthas this is the first shaving cream I have purchased, which has been a complete letdown. When I was trying to decide between the shave cream and the shave soap at my local l'Occitane shop, something in the back of my mind was telling not to buy the shave cream. I didn't listen to the voice. And after searching SOTD posts and locating Nightbreed's oct 09 post, I know why...*This shave cream really is a poor lathering soap and the fragrance leaves something to be desired in my opinion. I have tried large amounts of cream and various amounts of water, and nothing really helps.

I do enjoy the smell of the aftershave or as the bottle states:" after shave splash." Strong juniper fragrance, and my wife really likes the scent of the AS, so it's a keeper.

Razor: Bartmann 7/8 or 8/8
Brush: Plisson pure badger
Pre Shave: Proraso white
Soap: Taylor of old bondstreet Lavender

After a long hot shower, first time using my new Bartmann: Best Shave Ever up untill now...WTG and ATG, even my upper lip went smoothly...this was a good find on Ebay
