    Default Thursday Morning

    Prep: Hot shower--followed by Robeson bay rum beard prep
    Brush:
    Omega Lucretia Borgia Series “Best Silvertip”
    SS/SC:
    TGQ Sample “Whiskey” + Proraso “Sapone Da Barba” + 2-3 drops glycerin
    Strop:
    VB Red Latigo – 55 fabric; 60 leather
    Razor:
    6/8” dubl duck “Goldedge”
    Astringent:
    Alum block
    ASB:
    Nivea for Men “Extreme Comfort”
    AS:
    Proraso
    Result:
    Unforgettable…

    I really like TGQ's "Whiskey: scented soap. I'm not really a soap shaver.
    However, this soap lathers easily--like the TGQ "Hinoki." The fragrance,
    which is not overpowering, reminds me of a shot of Bourbon.

    Razor: 5/8 Wostenholm Pipe Razor Round Point
    Soap: Ogallala Bay Rum and Sandalwood
    Mug: Ceramic Clipper
    Brush: Col Conk Barbershop Badger
    ASB: Nivea Replenishing

    Beautiful shave this morning with one of the three Wosties I picked up recently. The scales are crap, all cracked and discolored with age but the blade is primo! I'll definately have this beauty re-scaled. The scent of Bay Rum just seemed to go with the Pipe this morning!

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
