Matt,
You, David and I are long overdue for a visit big guy (my fault for being/operating incognito). I will email you guys soon with a few dates in December and see what works. You can come over for lunch and some razor talk.

You should have met with me in Vegas. I had my coticule and my Nakayama with me. I would have let you take them home to play with...

You bet buddy...My JNats will be at your disposal. You will love the edges off of them. Bring a few razors and you will have a lot of choices . And don't plan anything (like work) most of that day...we'll be busy.

PREP: HOt shower with face scrub
RAZOR: Henckels Platinum , dressed in adoration ax scales
BRUSH: PJ3
SOAP: The bomb in sweet neroli
ASTRINGENT: Booster Mosswood
ASB: Carrie M's Unscented
EDT: Carven Vetiver
RESULT: ULTRA CLOSE, SMOOTH SHAVE


Great Shave today, Im trying to shave everyday this week, to see how I like it, my skin seems to be doing ok, not as comfortable as if i shaved every other day but not bad at all, plus i get to use my straights, soaps/creams everyday!!!
This razor is awesome, I need to get it rescaled in some nice scales to do it justice as the Adoration ax scales its in is a completely different razor. Suggestions? Anyway great cream, cologne , and already a great day after seeing all your guys posts

HAVE A GOOD ONE GUYS !!!!

Prep: Hot shower--followed by Proraso pre-post-shave cream
Brush: Omega “Lucretia Borgia Series” Best Silvertip
SS/SC: MWF + Queen Charlotte “Key Lime” = Superlather
Strop: VB Red Latigo--50 fabric; 60 leather
Razor: 5/8 Puma"High Class"
Astringent: Thayers Original Witch Hazel
ASB: Nivea for Men “Sensitive”
AS: Booster “Aquarius” (sample)
Result: Puma comfortable…Puma close…Puma zen…

One of the best shaves I've had in a while. The Puma mowed the whiskers down like a hot knife thru butter; and the combination of MWF plus the QC Key Lime created a moist, fragrant lather that provided sufficient lubrication and cushion to get the job done without irritation.

A friend of mine from India was so kind to ship me some Old Spice stuff made by Shulton in India. Comparing the Old Spice Musk being made today in India with the vintage one I got from the 80's I'd say they smell the same, I couldn't find any differences. Horray for India!

The Indian Old Spice experience:

Old Spice Musk from Shulton shaving cream
Semogue 2000 brush
Bartmann straight razor
Old Spice Musk from Shulton aftershave splash
444 aftershave balm

Hot shower
Warm Oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
AOS Shave Cream
New Forest Badger
SRD Premium 1 25 laps felt 50 leather
Wade and Butcher Celebrated Barbers Notch
AOS Aluminum
Bay Rum
Vaseline for men

Nice evening shave. Quick dinner and off to the Airport to pick up another child!!!

Enjoy the evening!

Great one Matt

As for scales, how about Faux Tortoise, Black linen micarta would be real nice.
