A nice, cold shower
Cold soaked my Thater in my SRD mixing bowl
Proraso shave cream
33/32 Wade & Butcher The Celebrated Hollow Ground Razor For Barber's Use
Cold water rinse
Lucido After Shave Lotion (misnamed - it's a menthol/alcohol splash)

I have to say, cold water after a mentholated lather is very invigorating.

And yes, I shaved under my nose with this razor. No problem at all with the coup de maitre

What a lovely brutal razor + I love the fact that you´ve kept the scales. Very nice!!

I don't usually run my AC, but these past two days, well, I have and I am. Nothing like hot & humid in NYC and its environs.

Anyway, another DFS.

Brush: Omega Boar
Razor: Toyo Hashimoto's 777 Scheon Burg
Soap: Tabac
AS: St. Lucia Bay Rum

I had the hones out last night to take this NOS 777 for a run.

Unfortunately, for the first time in a long time I have to take it back to the hones, becasue it isn't up to my standard yet.

I guess that's what I get when experimenting with Japanese nagura slurries ...
