Very good shave this morning despite lather that was a little thin (I may have not shaken the brush enough)...but with a few touch up passes the results are as good as I get with the straight.

SOTD Wednesday August 4, 2010

Razor: 5/8 Geo. Wostenholm Pipe Razor Full Hollow, Round Point
Shaving Cream: Ingram
Lather Bowl: Ceramic
Scuttle: RAB Ceramic
Brush: Col Conk Barbershop Badger
ASB: Nivea Replenishing
Aftershave: Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue

The Ingram Shave Cream was great! Lots of cushion and glide similar to the Erasmic. The scent of the Ingrams was very pleasant. It has a clean Linen scent and reminds me of clean laundry. There must be a little menthol in there as well. It felt nice and cool very refreshing on a 96F day! It didn't hold it's lather as well as the Erasmic but it would rejuvenate immediately with a few drops of water and a stir with the brush. Excellent shave cream!

Been a while since i shaved and was looking forward to it all week.


Had a seatbelt laying around the house that i made into a belt but decided it was time to make it into my strop. It seems much finer that the poly web that came with my leather strop so i use it as an in between and got amazing result today!

Here you can see the comparison between the strops and how the blue one has finer thread that leave a smoother finish to the razor.
