Cream: Tabac
AS: Tabac
Strop: Neil Miller linen/buffallo 30/50 and 20 pre on a ROMA 45
Result: Uber clean... I mean it
Love this blade. looks like nothing much and has a very ordinary 5/8 width, but she shaves amoung my top ten . Tabac was on it´s toes today, after approx. 30 secs of loading I got out two passes + touch ups on face and two passes on head and enough left over for another pass, but I didn´t need that. Thank you for our soft water and last weeks SOTD photos!

Prep: Hot shower

Great, relaxing smooth shave! Have a good week.

Location: Sunny Coffs Harbour Australia
Prep: Hot shower
Razor: The Mutant (Formerly INVICTA by E.M. Dickinson of Sheffield)
Soap: Proraso
A/S Balm: Nivea Replenishing Post Shave Balm
Soundtrack: Silence, all 4 kids asleep
This was the maiden voage for this razor. Not only the first time its been used in its current form, but I would say the first time its been used in decades judging by its condition when I aquired it.
Result: very nice smooth shave
Not bad for a first shave after honing, it was finished on the coticule then 60 laps on leather. Tomorrow I'll try my new Thuringian and see if I can make any improvements, after that maybe a few laps on the Chrome Ox then into the rotation.

I love that razor, may I have it? If i shaves as good as it looks I'd love to have one, any ideas?

Luxury Shave Day...

Aura Glow as a Pre Shave Oil and feel for the occult
Acqua di Parma Luxury Shave Cream
Simpson's X2L Ehsan 2 Band Super
Wacker Old Sheffield No.4 Stosser 13/16ths
SRD Premium I Strop .. 40 Linen/85 Leather
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Nivea AS Balm
Spanish Floïd Suave

First and foremost, thanks to Curtiss (Scissors) for his kindness and generosity in sending the Acqua di Parma sample for today's shave.
I must admit to feeling a bit jaded about all the praise heaped on this cream, but I'm here to tell you that it is amazing stuff! A little dab explodes into a mountain of creamy lather, and Scissors was right on in his recommandation to treat it like soap and pre soften it with a bit of water... A real luxury product... and since most of my choices are pretty pedestrian, I can tell the difference!
The Wacker added to the illusion of a man in the lap of luxury rather than just another face in the crowd (which I try my best to avoid!)..

A great shave for (hopefully) a quiet Sunday..

That is some great, quality oatmeal you got there.
