Razor: 6/8 Japanese Kamisori
Brush: AOS Badger Brush
Cream: Proraso
Aftershave: Proraso
Scuttle: SRD Midnight Black



First shave with my new Kamisori - very nice shave, very intuitive. I don't know if these razors are designed for lefties, but there's a little divot cut into the handle that fits my thumb very well and works on the left hand but not the right. That's cool, though, because all of us smart good looken' people are lefties. It was like shaving butter on my face.

Very enjoyable.

Aura Glow
Cella Shave Soap (cream?)
New Forest #2201 Superior Badger
Genco Master Barber Spike
SRD Premium I Strop .. 30 Linen/60 Leather
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Nivea AS Balm
Pashana AS

One can spend alot of money on a straight razor and still get a shave no better than a Genco can consistently deliver... Sometimes I forget just how good this little Master Barber is..
Pashana AS captured my imagination about a year ago, and I waited all this time to try it. It arrived yesterday with some other goodies, and now I'm sorry I waited so long, but alas, it's the story of my life... A day late, and a dollar short..

The sexy little librarian watches over it all...

Great photos and shaves this week, gents!

Result: Two passes + touch up = BBS face. I got my New Forest High Mountain 2221 courtesy of Peter; AWESOME brush, check out the bloom. I also got my rescaled Wade & Butcher from Max; beautiful work that equals the beauty of the blade and it’s shaving ability. All in all this was a wonderful shave and a great start to the day.

Fabulous experience . Enjoy the brush.

[QUOTE=BladeRunner001;700030]Result: TERRRRRRRR-IFIC !!!! What a shave today. I don't get this blade though ...the more she gets used, the sharper she seems to get (without stones). She doesn't "lose her edge" so to speak. Unreal...maybe this thing is not a carbon/steel blade after all...perhaps she is made up of some "smart" nanomaterial (e.g., next generation carbon nanotube) of the future with a self sharpening edge. [QUOTE]

Sounds good Robert.
I have a theory that razors reach their peak performance around 5-10 shaves after honing, could that apply here?
