Cologne: Penhaligon Racquets

Result: Time for some "Bow" action today. I think wedges are underrated and don't receive the praise that they deserve. I love this one (done by Max...like you can't tell) . This silent killer gives virtually zero auditory feedback as she cleans the "trash" (This holds equally true during stropping). The Cella/Godrej combo überlather was refreshingly moist and "cold as ice"...Brrrrr!!!! But at the end of this exercise, my face was left incredibly smooth and moisturized. Everything in life should be and feel this good .

Have a wonderful Monday gentlemen.

Since I can't find the "button" anymore; a comment is in order: you are right Robert wedges are underated..I always say that a wedge is a full hollow with a silencer. I do own a wedge a Wacker model 4. HOG

Frank Shaving Silvertip | Tabac | Hart Steel | Alum | Institut Karite Balm | Tabac Cologne

I consistently get very good shaves from the Hart Steel, but not BBS. I took it to the coticule last night, and my results this morning were better, but still not where I want it to be. The problem is, I have 3 blades in my rotation honed by Stefan (mainaman), so I guess I am looking for that level of perfection on all my edges. Back to work on this one....honing is fun.

sharp,

That is one beautiful photo. The lighting is superb and sets the perfect mood.

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 . 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.
