Good morning Gents. Today: soap: Calani; brush: Muehle; razor: W&B; AS: Brut

Pre: Hot shower
Brush: New Forest silvertip
Razors: Thomas Turner´s "Everlasting" and a John Bingham for the head
Cream: Palmolive, very old and made in Sweden
AS: Dr Harris Sandalwood
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very clean
Didn´t know what this cream would do or be like, but it was poison green and preformed excellent, slippery and protective and I liked the scent. Fantastic blades, two passes on the face and one on the head and I´m ready for whatever happens

Glenn, the custom scent sounds great. You'll have to give us a full report on the combination. I've smelled Al's vetiver--what a great ingredient!

Tom, another tremendous image! I'm really enjoying your collection of smokers. And you keep tempting me with that Calani!

Mikael, the shave sounds fantastic. Where do you find vintage Palmolive cream? And the "Everlasting" razor looked beautiful!

Yeah, it was a nice one this morning. The cream was a one timer (came wiht a razor/hone lot I bought). The Turner is a sweet blade and the scales are so nice (vintage and custom made for this blade).

Hi Lu, thank you! Good news about the honing, must be very satisfing!

Prep:Hot towel
Brush:TGN Custom 24mm Silvertip Premium A
Strop: SRD Premium IV English Bridle
Scuttle: SRD
Cream: Da Bomb Custom Bay & Vetiver
Razor: Boker #201
After shave: Brut
EDT: Polo Blue



Result:I polished the edge of the Boker last evening with a vintage Thuringian stone. The edge was ultra-smooth this morning. I used the Custom Bay & Vetiver again today. A very small amount goes a VERY long way and it holds water like a sponge. The lather provides excellent cushion with just the right amount of slickness. I would describe the scent as “Spicy & complex”. It opens with “In your face” bay and then blooms into a woodsy/grassy vetiver. I LOVE IT!

I spent some time yesterday turning brush handles. In an attempt to spread the joy of wet shaving, I'm gifting brushes with handles I turned to the men in the family. These 2 are shaped, but not finished yet (I'll post when they are done) and are done in Bocote & East Indian Rosewood.
Have a great weekend gentlemen, you've earned it!

I havent shaved sence Wed. Oh boy i couldnlt wait to shave. I recieved my CarrieM Dragons blood today from the Class. Did not know what to expect for a scent. I was surprised to find out is smells exactly the same as St Charles Smoke N Beads. Did an Uber with MWF. Used my wacker Jungmeister.
2 passes to heaven.
