Aura Glow as a Pre Shave Oil
Williams Shave Soap Neat!
Semogue SOC Premium Boar
Genco Master Barber
Tony Miller strop 50 Linen/75 Leather
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Lime Sec

The SOC makes short work of unadulturated Williams soap, and the Genco is simply an awesome shaver!

I knew it could be done! I just knew it man . I am going to have to try this. Mixing Williams' (or other soap) with Campbell's chicken noodle soup...I know the lather will be good enough to eat

Penchetta Super Badger
Calypso Bay Rum Aftershave

An outstanding shave, felt like was shaving with a Bowie knive, a very sharp and buttery smooth Bowie knife. Time for some Maker's Mark 46 to celebrate the new razor and her maiden shave (by me).

Very Nice Scales!

Pre-Shave: Hot shower + Stephan's Smooth Conditioning Shaving Creme (usual routine)

Razor: 7/8" Novelty Cutlery wedge, Spike Point (I love my spikes)

Brush: 22mm Vulfix Super badger

Überlather: CarrieM Dragon's Blood creme + TOBS Eaton College Collection soap + squirt of glycerin

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel

Post-Shave: Trumper's Sandalwood Skin Food

Facial Moisturizer: Trumper's fragrance-free moisturizer

Cologne: Penhaligon Endymion

Result: I loved today...Another Zen-like shave this morning . The überlather (CarrieM's Dragon's Blood, TOBS soap and glycerin) felt and performed as wonderful as ever. Then comes the Novelty (Pun intended )...Shaving with this blade is truly a treat...This mean spike cuts through whiskers like they were yesterday's news. 3 passes (WTG, XTG & ATG) and 20 minutes later, I am ready to tackle the day.

Gotta love the spikes!! I always had a love affair with spikes since the very beginning of my str8 shaving journey...I never cut myself with one, yet.

Have a great end of the week guys
