thanks Robert and Sharp, I'm glad you like the pic
Pre-Shave: Hot shower Razor: 6/8" J.R. Torrey Frameback, Wedge, Spike Point Brush: 22mm Vulfix Super Badger Überlather: Godrej "Menthol Mist" Shave Creme + Honeybee Spa "Orange Burst" Shave Soap + Glycerin Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol) Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-Free Moisturizer After Shave Splash: Floïd Spanish Blue Result: I don't know...for some reason, I psychologically shy away from this Torrey Frameback. It has been a PITA to hone. I think after a long while, I've got it figured (still a PITA). It gave a relatively great shave...not perfect like a Max or Glen edge would give, but great. I am happy. I also used a wonderful sample soap my friend Rene (aka, nicknbleeding) sent me...Thank you Rene :beer1:. This thing smells great too and lather very well. I mixed in a less than 1/2 the usual size of Godrej to give it some menthol kick without compromising the orange smell. I really liked the lather and was satisfied with the performance of the Torrey.

That instrument in the background is called a Duduk....The Duduk is a form of oboe hand-made almost always of apricot wood, with a 1,500-year history behind it. The Duduk is strictly Armenian. No other musical instrument is able to convey the emotions of the Armenian people so honestly and eloquently as the Duduk.
Have a fabulous Tuesday gentlemen:tu.
Very nice image, Robert. Glad to hear you're getting the Torrey worked out. I have a Honeybee Essentials soap that hasn't worked out too well for me without an uberlather. I guess I just need to keep experimenting to find that sweetspot...
Thank you Brad for your kind words :bow. José already beat me to the punch (Thanks José) and posted a YouTube video by one of the masters of the art (Givan Gasparyan) :beer1:. There's tons more on Youtube
Thanks Bill :)...I got an OK lather from it, but better with just a 1/2 pea size amount of Godrej. I like the scent.
The Torrey continues to be a challenge...but, I like challenge :D.
Thank you maestro :bow...and thanks for posting that video. I love Givan.
