    After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

    1964 Macys badger
    1958 Executive/Feather
    AOS lemon SC
    Lumene AS balm
    vintage Caron 'Yatagan' Pour Monsieur

    The Feather blade's a very nice change of pace, and especially effective with this morning's two days worth of whiskers to be whacked. It's a great blade when used in the correct razor.

    BBS results,

    Martin

    Default 4am Sunday morning shave

    As the title says it was. 4 am shave today.

    Was going for a family road trip from toronto to Windsor and got yelled at to shave before we left so had to make sure I was wide awake for this!

    Cold water prep
    Grelot 6/8
    3" latigo 25 canvas 70 leather. Didn't have too much time for the extra long stropping like I love.
    Trumpers coconut
    Nivea balm

    Pretty good shave but didn't do so great on the second clean up pass due to sleepiness so some parts not as smooth. Oops!!

    Also I noticed the less I soak my brush the better the lather is. Hmm I might be onto something here.

    Sunday, 7.18.10

    Aura Glow as a Pre Shave oil

    Wacker Old Sheffield model 4 wedge
    Tony Miller strop 45 Linen/ 75 Leather

    The Semogue SOC brush and MWF must have been designed for each other... I couldn't imagine a more luxurious lather..

I really like your Helji's new scales! The last razor I have to rescale is my Helji but I think I will get some TI replacement scales and do it myself. It's kinda fun to do! LOL

    The Pacific Rush isn't the type of aftershave I usually go for scent-wise, but I am enjoying the face freeze during this heat wave.

    Cool My gear for most of the week

    Pre-Shave: Stephan's Smooth Shave Cream
    Razor: 5/8" Respecto #77, Round Point
    Brush: 24mm Shavemac Silvertip
    Soap: TOBS Eaton College Collection
    Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel
    Post-Shave: Trumper's Sandalwood Skin Food, Trumper's Moisturizer
    Cologne: Penhaligon's Racquets
    Result: The Respecto is my go-to blade. Love shaving with it. This week, I am using the combination of TOBS Eaton College shave cream, violet shave soap and a squirt of glycerin...The überather is exceptionally slick and moist. The Shavemac is a dream brush to work this lather into the beard. Wonderfully smooth and BBS shave.

    Hot shower, Hot towel, hot water, warm AOS oil.
    A few passes on the Swaty. 50 on the paddle.

    Tried Proraso for the first time. Very nice. That is a keeper.
