I love this combination of Proraso pre-post shave cream, MWF and Ingram. The Ingram intensifies the cooling effect of the Proraso, intensifying the fragrance as well as the cooling effect of the menthol.

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Floïd Spanish Blue

Result: Today was a great day for a DE shave. It also seemed like a great occasion for the Trumper's Violet SC, which was nicely cooling in the refrigerator for the last ~3 months and was almost forgotten about (BTW: I keep all my cremes in the fridge until needed...keeps them from going "bad"). Well...almost forgotten, but not quite!! It, in combination with the TOBS Lavender soap provided for a wonderfully synchronized symphony of scents that blanketed my stubble with a very thick lather. A mix of Trumper's moisturizer and Floïd Spanish Blue aftershave splash made for a refreshing yet moisturizing finish. Hmmm...I love it. Simple and clean. BBS feel all across the face.

Have a great Saturday gentlemen .

Robert,

Very nice vintage DE razor there chief. It's similar to the '61 Gillette Super-Speed that I just purchased. Can't wait to try it out.

Everything old is new again...

Okay this was may shave from two nights ago but I am posting it now cause I have access to a computer.

Strop: Illonois 827 & SRD premium I, 50 laps each on Russians's linen, SRD Webbing, Russian leather, and SRD leather. It was my first time using this razor so I used both strops.
Prep: Hot shower
Shaving Cream: TOBS Lemon/Lime
Brush: Thater silvertip
Razor: BJ Eyre & co Triumph
Aftershave: Ogallala Lime & peppercorn Bay Rum

Rusult: not my best shave, I was uncomfortable stropping with the extra wide tang and that might have resulted in a less than perfect edge. I do love the scales on my newest razor, and the grove on the blade looks awesome.

Again the picture is from my phone so dont expect the world:

Semogue Boar | MWF + Alraz Goodfellas | New England Razor Co. "Puritan" | Alum | Art of Shaving Sandalwood Balm | Tabac Eau De Cologne

Today was one of my best shaves. I had nothing to do so I took my sweet time with my lather and my shave. The "Puritan" is the first razor I honed from dull to shave ready and I am very pleased with my result. My edge was a little bit rough, but super sharp and two passes got me BBS. It is very satisfying shaving with an edge you created.

Little bay rum heavy here but man what a wonderful shave!

Razor: DD Goldedge in Jade Ghost
Brush: TGN 26mm Silvertip in Birdseye Maple
Cream: Calypso Bomb
Scuttle: Georgetown
Post: Alum
A.S. ClubmanBay Rum
A.S.B. Al's Calypso

BTW...How is that Kent shaving brush? Just wondering.

My Filly is one of the best shavers I have. The Kent brush is also very nice. The shorter loft combined with the soft Kent bristles makes for a nice combination.
