Geneva Cutlery 6/8
E.J. BBB
Ingram sc
Thayers Cucumber WH w/ aloe
Floid Vigoros a/s
KD Creations a/s milk
Eau Savage Edt

Second day with the same razor, an unusual occurrence for me...thought I'd try the razor again with a better approach on the strop...it seemed to work well today, although I finished up with a quick touch up pass with the '56 Gillette Blue Tip. Great finish with the KD Creations a/s milk and the Eau Savage Edt.

Razor: 6/8 Grelot
Brush: omega 05
Soap: DR Harris Lavender

Great two pass shave and a fine shave but still having issues with around the jaw line. Oh well! Practice makes perfect!

Cold water rinse and 25/50 strop to clean the blade and oiled with ballistol and put away until next time.

On another note my new razor should be coming in soon, do you think i should hold off shaving until it comes in or should i keep at my shaving?

It should be here at the end of this week or very early next.

As for the razor you'll just have to wait for the surprise like everyone else

Lol just kidding. It's a grelot 6/8 in rams horn scales. I'm just excited because I can't wait to see how the scales look since rams horn is always so different.

Not by far my best shave, but as it's from my first decent hone I thought it was one to commemorate

Hones - 5k/8k/12k
Razor - Gotta 120
Cream - TOBS Sandalwood
Brush - Tweezerman
After Shave Treatment - Alum, Witch Hazel, Lime Skin Food, TOBS Sandalwood Aftershave Splash.

Three passes, not as close as I've had, but been a while since I've had the Gotta out, forgot how big it was lol.

Geek,
Nice Gotta

If these posts keep on showing these beautiful Gottas, I'm going to break down in tears. I am in the market for one of these now...following some on the bay and on Revisor's site (when they're back from vacation end of August)

Do you recommend a 5/8 or 6/8?
