Welcome to the fold Jasp :). Nice gear:nj
Printable View
Prep: Hot towell
Strop: SRD Premium IV English Bridle 25 webbing/ 50 leather
Brush: TGN Custom Silvertip in cherry wood handle
Scuttle: SRD
Cream: Carrie M's black raspberry vanilla
Razor: Wostenholm Pipe
After Shave: Ogallala bayrum & sandalwood
Result: 2 passes (WTG, XTG). With the arrival of cooler weather, I have started heating my water in an electric kettle...AMAZING! Why I never did this before I have no idea. Carrie M's black raspberry vanilla makes me want crepes for breakfast and it provided an amazing lather. I reset the bevel on this blade last night and honed it through 12k since yesterdays shave was more of a scraping than a shave. Today was completely different, 2 passes and a very comfortable, close shave. Have a safe and happy halloween gentlemen!
Hi James,
Sounds like a fine shave :nj.
PS: AOS seems to make pretty good stuff...Their lavender SC is great. I haven't tried AOS' pre-shave oil, but it does smell great. I use my T&H oil, mostly because of scent. It is wonderful. But (in my case), performance wise, I found the use of pre-shave oils to be unnecessary as my überlather is more than adequate enough to soften my beard.
