    You can´t win them all . This morning was not the best shave ever. I was in a hurry and everyone wanted to talk to me when I was lathered up and our youngest (11 yrs old) threw up. I cut myself on the throat, yes - cut throat , while trying to get ready fast (by only doing one effective pass). I like this razor though, nice touch to it and the blade is very good.
    Happy to read you are well

    I never get tired of the look of this razor Otto. The scales really make it have that military feel. Very Nice!

    Sorry to hear about the rough morning & the cut. I hope your youngest feels better and that your day improves.

    Prep: Hot shower
    Scuttle: SRD
    Brush: TGN Custom Silvertip
    Uberlather: Mama Bears "Fall Leaves", Saint Charles Shave Unscented, 5 drops glycerin
    Razor: Wade & Butcher "For Barber's Use"
    After Shave: Masters Bayrum
    Result: A close shave, with a little irritation.


    I took the W&B to the hones last night, I think I need to completely reset the bevel or send this one out. I can't seem to get an even bevel on this one. I gave it the shave test and it was quite obvious that it is not there.

    Have a great day gentlemen, you deserve it!

    Wostenholm Frameback | Kanyama | Semogue 830 | HoneyBee Essentials Rosewood Cedar | Tade Alum | Thayer's Lavender | Nivea Sensitive Le Labo Rose 31



    What a way to start the work week! Tried to bowl lather the Honeybee Essentials and wound up with a weak bubbly soap that wouldn't hold up on the face. As a result, the first pass was not the greatest at all. The blade felt like it was tugging (but I know it was just the lack of adequate prep because Glen put an outstanding edge on this baby when he restored her) and I knicked myself under the chin. For the second and third passes, I decided to face lather, and that is where this Semogue really shines. I found myself drowning in thick, rich lather and the blade suddenly seemed to glide around the face.

    The scent of the rosewood cedar was perfect for a fall morning and the Le Labo fragrance never fails to set my mood right.

    Have a great Monday, gentlemen!

    My kids are grown and gone with families of their own, but I try my best to keep the wife away while I'm shaving. Sometimes merely closing and locking the "shave cave" door is not enough, as she can talk through it, so my best shaves are when I have the house to myself.
    I took a nick under the ear myself yesterday because my wife was home and talking while I was shaving.... I'm sometimes not a good listener..

    Hope you heal soon, Mikael, and the little one feels much better!

    Thank you! I would love to have the house empty when shaving also, hasn´t happened so far though, lol. In time, in time ... I´m going for a smooth wedge tomorrow (least scratchy for me) or a DE shave, but it´s healing fine.
