Thank you, Glenn. Good to see you back and posting with us. Only a few days away, but your presence was noticeable!

Prep:Hot Shower
Brush:AOS Pure Badger
Strop: SRD Paddle Strop
Scuttle: None-face lathered today
Soap: SRD Vetiver
Razor: Dovo “Best Quality”
After shave: Ogallala Bay rum
EDT: Drakkar Noir


Result: I completely forgot I had this sample of vetiver. What a wonderful scent, a bit woodsy and notes of grass. Great lather today, 3 passes with the Dovo and BBS.

Have a great Wednesday gentlemen, you deserve it!

Thanks Bill. Been doing some travel with work so my times were off. Have a great day

Location: Sydney Australia
Prep: Hot Shower/Hot Towel
Strop: Illinois 835
Lather: Proraso (white)
Razor: Kropp 11/16
A/S: Nivea Replenishing Post Shave Balm
I just aquired this Chinese 12k and this was my first time using it.
The Kropp is a reliable workhorse, not the prettiest razor but a great shaver. The edge was good but just to get a feel for the C12k I gave it 75 laps starting with light slurry and diluting to plain water.
Result: The Super smooth edge this razor now has gave me an effortless shave and left my face smooth and clean.
Great stone for $15

Thanks for all the great pics and posts
Grant
