    Default HeadShave of the day...

    I've been growing out the annual winter beard, so only head shaves for a while... I miss shaving my face !

    Razor: Wade & Butcher
    Cream: Speick
    After: Witchhazel/'Colors' AS

    This was my first razor. Bought it off e-bay and learned to hone and shave with it. Great shave, one pass all over, and another against the grain in back. Smooth with no missed patches for the wife to giggle at! Need to re-pin the razor as it is loose enough that its difficult to strop/hone/ shave with.

    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).

    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.
    Congrats on taming the Torrey Robert! I have a Torrey that gives me trouble as well. The Duduk is amazingly beautiful, both visually and audibly. Thanks for sharing

    Default Wednesday morning

    Pre: Hot shower
    Brush: Custom turned 23 mm two band finest
    Razor: Boker
    Soap: Prof Blightly´s Grapewood
    AS: Prof Blightly´s Grapewood AS cologne
    Strops: Neil Miller
    Result: Uberclean
    Wow. One of those extremly close shaves, what a blade! The dear prof soap and AS was very nice, even though I messed up the soap part a little (forgot to put the brush in the scuttle before the shower), but it produced a good enough lather, never the less. The AS cologne was very nice and I still smell of lovely grape fruit

    Manaslu M-55 | Honeybee Essentials Cedar Rosewood + Bomb in Boheme | Ever-Ready w/ TGN ST-A | Bomb ASB in Boheme | The Knize Ten


    What a shave. I decided to test my new Ozuku last night by running the Manaslu over it a few times. I did 10 laps with a light meijiro slurry then 15 with a tomonagura slurry followed by 20 laps with water only. The shave this morning was smooth like butter! The sweet shave was made all the better by the wonderful, rich lather that smelled like heaven! It was all followed up by one of the most classic scents I've ever encountered - The Knize Ten. This kind of performance can't help but get you going in the morning!

    For those whose inclinations make them want to see more of the stone, I've prepared a less artistic picture:



    Gentlemen, thank you for sharing such inspiring SOTDs this week. For those celebrating Thanksgiving, have a great one!

    Mikael, what a great looking shave. I've never heard of Prof Blighty's, but I love the look in the SOTD!
