This Pumacker blade is like brand new! The bluing on the tang is perfect, as is every other aspect of this razor. Following the advice of gssixgun, I stropped it to within an inch of it's life, after about sixty laps on the 12K Naniwa alone. This razor delivers the goods! And smoothly..
The backdrop for today's SOTD is an old photo of my Mom and Dad, taken somewhere in Wales. My Mother was a Welsh girl, and my Dad an American soldier staging for the D-Day invasion of occupied France. They made a handsome couple, and I must say that I miss them both quite a bit..

That is one of the coolest themes I have seen on here! You ahouls be very proud, they are a handsome couple.

Thursday, 9.9.10

Aura Glow as a Pre Shave Oil
LaToja Sensitive Shave Cream
Simpson's Ehsan 2 band Super
Bowdin's Wedge
SRD Premium I Strop .. 60 Linen/200 Leather ... I could strop all day on this baby!
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Nivea AS Balm
Pin awd Clubman .. That's Pinaud from New Yawk, dontcha' know?

This blade was giving me a bit of trouble... Sharp, but not as smooth as I'd like, so, 60 laps on the 12K and stropped to oblivion... All is once again good in Wedge-Land..
Not much I can say about the Ehsan... This brush just does everything well!



I try to get a laugh on the computer every day... Sometimes it works out, and sometimes it doesn't! If I find one, I like to pass it along.
Here's one from Gary Larson and The Far Side. I miss the work of Gary Larson very much...
