4/8 Taylor's Eye Witness // O Melhor Cream // Rooney 1/2 Finest // Musgo Real
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...D/SAM_1809.jpg
Just did a full restore on this Taylor's razor. Ran it through all the greaseless and rogues and gave it some white acrylic scales. Shave went well but 4/8 is a bit small for me.
Pre: Hot shower
Razor: SSA
Brush: Ikon 24 mm chubby silvertip
Soap/cream: top Secret + Mama Bears unscented
AS: Old Spice Musk
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Hot damn http://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/imag..._e_biggrin.gif
Close one today, very close and I got very, very clean http://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/imag..._e_biggrin.gif. Desided to go for two soaps today and they worked well together, even though it was a tad bit dry (and I was to lazy to try and correct).

Strop: Dovo Prima Rindleder (30/70)
Brush: E-bay Rooney (floppy shedder, but so soft...)
Soap: Tabac Original
Razor: Dovo Special 6/8
Post: Water+alum+stiptic pencil
After: Alpa 378
Today no time for picture... Result is quite good but I got a nick under my lips. Very tiny but I felt alum block more than I wanted :cry:. I really like my Dovo, I don't understand why it has so bad name on the other forum.

Result: 2 passes today, the Dovo is pulling and definitely needs a visit to the hones. I love the Opus X scent. It will be a great day!
Have a great Thursday gentlemen, you deserve it!
P.S. Tomorrow's SOTD won't be until the early evening...travel day:)

It's been a while since I used some of my kit today. The combination of BentonClay's soap and CarrieM's cream gave me a rich luxurious lather with a scent that can make anyone hungry and the Johnson Sheffield wedge was a silent squeegee today!
Great images this week, gentlemen, thank you all!
