    Default A Proraso kind of day

    Location: 32°2805N 93°5516W
    Music: George Thorogood & the Destroyers
    Prep: Shower
    Preshave: Proraso Pre-shave Cream
    Scuttle: 1.5 Dirty Bird
    Soap: Proraso
    Brush: New Forest 2211
    Razor: Wade & Butcher Hollow Ground
    Balm: Proraso Liquid Cream Aftershave
    After Shave: Colors by Benetton for Men
    Result: Another wonderful shave with this blade. Max did an awesome job sharpening this after I blunted the edge with my poor stropping. Two passes and a little touch-up around the chin with one minor nick which my septic stick took care of and I’m ready for a new day. I’ve definitely noticed my speed is increasing while my effort at getting the perfect angle has lessened. It’s hard to believe that I’ve only been doing this for a little more than two months. To all the other newbie’s out there, just keep at it and the results will start coming faster and faster.

    And got it right you did David. It was a great shaver, smooth and dint tug at all, Also the blade gives very little feedback so i dint even know i was shaving until i saw my silky smooth skin. Lets just say some type of Japanese straight is on my list in the very near future, I dont think i ever want to not have one in my rotation from now on, so again thanks David

    Prep:Hot Towell
    Brush:Custom TGN 24mm Premium A in Crimson Acrylic
    Strop: SRD Premium IV English Bridle 100 leather
    Scuttle: SRD
    Uberlather: Mama Bear's “Northwoods”, J.M. Fraser Mosswood, 5 drops glycerin
    Razor: Wostenholm Pipe (experiment #1)
    After shave: Brut
    EDT:Polo Blue



    Result: Used the Wostenholm again today after revisiting the hones again. I experimented with just the Asagi. Light slurry diluting to water (10 dilutions 10 laps between). The edge was very keen and fairly smooth. I'd like a little bit more smoothness, but the keenness of the blade was very nice. The shave was very comfortable, and provided BBS in 3 passes. A truly enjoyable shave today.

    I know the themed SOTD doesn't start until next week, but we got snow overnight and I just couldn't help myself this morning.

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

    Very nice Revisor Tom I used the Brut today also, the scent brings back fond memories of when I first started shaving.

    Your SOTD looks great and sounds like it is nice and warm (The windchill here is -10 degrees Fahrenheit!).
