Tuesday morning shave

Prep: Hot shower
Razor: Rolls Razor
Brush: Vermont Company Store Fine Badger
Soap: Vermont Company Store Lime Musk
AS: L'Occitane Cade After Shave Balm



Amazing shave due the to Rolls Razor's built in Hone and Strop, a fantastic safety/straight razor. If only I could get my straights this sharp...

Cold water splash to prep the beard, let it soak in as i stropped the razor

Strop: 3" Latigo 60 canvas, 120 leather
Razor: Le Grelot 6/8 (its replacing my razors havent used anything else since i got this)
Brush: Omega 05
Soap: Truefitt & Hill soap
AS: Very Sexy For Him/ Nivea Balm

2 pass shave, one with the grain. Tried to do an against the grain but my skin just wont handle it. It tugged as i went against the grain and just felt a bit rough with the grain.

The blade was a bit dull so not optimal for the ATG but still not something i will do again.

Since the blade was a bit dull i put it on my coti with just some water and did about 50 passes and then 100 canvas 250 leather passes and it was back in business.

Im not the greatest honner but if my razor can treetop the hairs on my arm its good enough for me!

So I see you got your new Wacker Model 4. Congratulations. As Sir Ralfy would say, "Shave on!"

Tested out 2 new razors today.
7//8 Henckels
F.W.E Special
Tobs Lemon&Lime
TAOS Brush
Case vintage strop

Beautiful shave. BBS in 2 passes. Pretty damn close in 1 pass.

Livi still needs to be dialed in...back to the Escher for it. First shave with the T4 and it was great. A true monster of a brush.
