O.K. gents,
because some of you like my scales (I'm not a Pro!)
I'll show you the 3 of my W&B's I rescaled.
It's too bad that I got these blades without or with destroyed scales.
If the Straightrazor is closed- most of the details you can see at the blades.
Enjoy!

What a nice shave today!:y The lather was divine; it was so slick I almost had trouble stretching the skin. And that scent is intoxicating; it got me thinking back a couple of years to a wonderful day on the beach in Maui! :tu The After Shave Milk Karen sent to me is terrific. It is very moisturizing without leaving any oil. She's made me an instant fan - as she does with all of her products. I'm BBS and ready to start the day...

Brush: Kingsley Pure Badger

BBS!
Pre-Shave: Hot shower + Stephan's Conditioning Smooth Shave Creme Razors: 13/16" Filarmonica Doble Temple #13, Hollow, Square Point Brush: 23mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger Überlather: CarrieM Oakmoss Shave Creme + Mama Bear's Myrrh Shave Soap + Glycerin Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol) ASB: Truffit & Hill Trafalgar Facial Moisturizer: Trumper's Facial Moisturizer Cologne: Penhaligon Racquets Result: Seems we have a few Fili shaves between yesterday and today...so, break the trend? I decided to use my DT #13 today. What a shave. As always, CarrieM's creme was a delight to use for lather :y, especially when mixed in with some Mama Bear soap and a few drops of glycerin. Great cushion and glide. If you haven't tried CarrieM's cremes yet, you don't know what you are missing. I used 3 passes and got a smooth BBS skin:y, ready for a Tuesday filled with nothing but meetings...Uuughhhhh!!

A terrific shave with the Lunawerk and Mem combination. I have been stropping with a nylon webbing strop prior to the leather since I picked it up off a B/S/T but recently went back to canvas which seems to work better for me. The Lunawerk was smooth and gentle and a damn fine shave was the result.
