As usual, hot shower, hot towel, warm oil. Tried Trumpers for the first time. Very nice. Kept a full thick lather the entire time. The soap is a grape hand made soap I am using in the shower. I smell like fruit when I am done.:shrug: I tired to make the pic more interesting. I am not good at art.
I added an antique smoking box and shot glass in front of the big thing in which my wife keeps the dishes we never seem to eat on. Hope you like.

Just got this razor honed today at Ross Cutlery in downtown L.A. and had to take it for a test spin. Great, unique razor and I'm very happy to have it shave ready.

Well let me start off by saying this was the best shave ever! Not because it was a perfect BBS Shave. Because it wasnt. It was Good. Only a couple spots need touch up. But because it came from a razor i honed myself. YEA!!! I took one of my old ones. Had a dip in the heel and some fine nicks in the blade. Took a while to get it done. Actually 2 tries. But the results were great. I had very little stubble. Usually when it like that i have a harder time getting a BBS shave. When its 2-3 days of growth then it is easier to get a BBS shave.
Trumpers Cream. This stuff is just awesome.
