Thursday night. Shave!
SRD 3" latigo strop
Vestavia brush
Jasmine puck soap with carrieM Cream
Razor i just bought from the classifieds BBS
Witch hazel
skin food
TAOS Balm lemon

3 days of growth. The initials on the razor explaine it all. BBS in 2 passes. Smooth, soft and sooooo comfy. Between the soap and the razor, Heavenly!!!

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage Marshall Fields badger
1955 President/Iridium
Institut Karite SS
Lumene AS balm
vintage Caron 'Yatagan' Pour Monsieur

Excellent shave this morning. The President fits me better than most fixed head types, and it feels very good in my hand. The performance is similar to the Diplomat/Aristocrat types, which I also use sometimes.

BBS results,

Martin

Pre: Hot Shave w/ Conditioner
Razor: Wacker "Antik" Spanish Point
Strop: SRD Modular the Night Before (50 rough/100 PI); Kanamaya (35/70)
Lather: BentonClay Lavender SS + Bomb Saigon + 4 drops glycerin
Brush: Shavemac Silverip

The Wacker continues to impress. And on top of it, this is one beautiful razor! The light horn has some of the most beautiful color variation on it.

Enjoy the shaves and enjoy the day!

Broke out the Griffin 60 today...Like the shave, but I have to hone (couple licks on the enders barbers hone) every couple shaves to keep it honest.

Today was Fat Friday over at WSW meaning that the SOTD theme was Mitchells Wool Fat. I put a little something together for the gang which I am also sharing with you. HOG

Very nice Tom...I always enjoy seeing your pipes in your SOTDs (even though I am not a pipe or other smoker)

Beautiful razor BTW...Gotta love the W&B, heh?

yes Robert, I love Wade & Butcher.
Each razor you can use the next 100-150 years.
