With all the talk about Vetiver the past SOTD, a vetiver sample send by Bill tried this afternoon, I couldn't stand it anymore so I had to take out my Vetiver stash. To top it off after seeing Jeff's new Genco I decided to grab my Easy Aces to join the shave. One word. Divine. Vetiver rules. Nuff said.

Enjoy the new week boys.

Have a nice Sunday.

Tried out two real old wedges tonight, neither was completely up for it, luckily the Diamond keeps getting better and better with each shave.

Pre: Proraso Preshave Cream
Brush: KENT BK12 Pure Badger
Soap: ROXI Crema Barba (Elberel Italiana)
Scuttle: Georgetown Pottery Scuttle
Strop: Kanayama Cordovan
Razor: BUDDEL Custom
Shave: WTG / XTG
AS:Geo.F.Trumper West Indian Extract of Limes Skin Food
Result: excellent

The second baer is in transit.
I got the information another member ordered another baer for Jack.
Because Build a Baer sells a lot of different baers I don't know which baer was ordered.
Here you get a picture with Moppy and Charly, both they are Harley-riders (like me).



Thanks to all members who support this campaign for our Jack!
For further information-please take a look at the thread last week!

Some great blades already posted Nice looking Buddel :drool:

Another "Fix-It" Wade & Butcher, this one had a crack about half an inch from the tip going all the way to the spine. After cutting it off with a wheel I rounded the edges and honed it up. Shave was apprehensive at first as it's a big hollow ground and I tried a different hone approach tonight. However the shave was as expected from an old W&B Fantastic

Razor: Cut down W&B
Soap: TGQ's Oak & Moss cream
Brush: AoS Pure Badger
Strop: Tony Miller Latigo
AS: TGQ's AS

Wow. You guys are absolutely amazing. I cant tell you how touched my wife and I are by your compassion for Jacky.
Thankyou to all who have expressed kindness and generosity towards Jack.
Just so you know, he is a smiley, brave, sweet, loving, really nice boy. You'd like him.

Grant.

I havent used this razor for several months and I couldnt quite remember how well it was shaving. I was pleasantly suprised. A really sharp smooth egde, and I dig the Proraso scent, probably my favourite soap so far.
A great shave all round.
Its nice to be home. Lots to do though. As you can see, the lawns are out of control. It just wont stop raning long enough for me to get them mowed. Maybe tomorrow.
Have a great week gentlemen.
