Went with the "Woods" this morning inspired by Sir Ralfy's selection. Love the Bay Rum scented shaves.

Yesterday I was playing with a razor from Glen - GsSixGun on loan from Ben - SlartiBartFast. I thought since it was a Glen Razor I'd have a Glen Shave.

Hot shower
Face lathered SRD West Indies Bay with the Thater
Re-Covered Tang Joseph Rodgers
Warm water rinse
Ogallala Bay Rum splash

I dig the chunky theme on the razor - scales, tang, tail. Feels big in the hands, which I enjoyed.

Dylan,
Gotta love the Thäters ...Fantastic brushes, IME. Is that one of those 24 or 26mm knot sizes?

I couldn't resist the 26. It was only a few bucks more.

It's always those pesky few bucks, ain't it?

I shaved right off of the coticule today, no stropping and it was a wonderful shave.

It's just a little Filly, but it was smooth as silk. One of the best shaves I have had. The Filly just felt different in a way I can't describe. Also, the Razorock was used for finger grip/skin stretching purposes only.
