Thread: Sun December 5th - Sat December 11th

Razor: Late Greaves, Palmetto Razor
Brush: AoS Pure Badger
Soap: TGQ's Whisky
Strop: Tony Miller Latigo
AS: TGQ's AS

Old Pic, forgot to get one this time

Prep:Hot shower
Brush:TGN Custom Silvertip Premium A
Strop: SRD Premium IV English Bridle 60 leather
Scuttle: SRD
Cream: Custom Vetiver & Bay Bomb
Razor: Livi 6/8
After shave:Al's Shaving Custom Vetiver & Bay ASB
EDT: Cartier “Roadster”

Here are the finished brushes.

Result: The Livi performed like a composer giving his last concert, pulling all the stops, and just letting it fly. Sooooo smooth today, I feel like I won't need a shave for years (don't get the wrong idea, I'd rather give up major organs than skip a shave ) I think I'm becoming a Vetiver addict....

Have an excellent day gentlemen, you've earned it!

Stone test Day 2: Today I repeated yesterday's honing on the same Rex razor. The result was very smooth again. I noticed a considerable difference in keenness of the two razors - the Suita stone yesterday seemed to definitely win. I thought smoothness was going to the Assagi until I went ATG. The Suita then pulled ahead once again. Tomorrow begins the nagura progression comparison!

Great shave! Gentlemen, your SOTDs continue to inspire and awe me!

Jeff, I feel your pain sir! Nothing better than a great SR shave to make the world right again. Well done my friend

Gorgeous FON Justin ....but, I must say it is anything but mediocre. A few laps on your JNat and you should be good to go
