Thanked: 1072Sunday Evening
Its been a Hot day in Coffs Harbour. Took the kids down to the local beach for a BBQ lunch and a dip in the water. Great way to spend Sunday afternoon.Have a great week boys.
Prep: Shower/Hot towel
Strop: Vintage A H Christians and Sons Waverley
Brush: Comoy Badger
Soap: Proraso
Razor: The Mutant
A/S: Nivea Replenishing Post Shave Balm
Result: I just re-blued the blade on this razor because a few imperfections were driving my O.C.D. brain nuts. The process completely dulled the edge though so it went back to the hones and was finished on the Coticule. Tonight was the test shave before going any further. Gave a nice shave, but should get better after I run it over the vintage Thuri tomorrow.

I think I´ve found the sweetspot for this soap now and I´m flabergasted on how much cushion effect it gives. Max: that razor looks like a Chinese gigant food knife ... Trade?Brad: Have a great holiday! Wow - nice blades and Bali must be a good combo
