****************************

I am ready for tonight...we are going for a dinner cruise to celebrate my cousin's 60th (surprise) birthday. I am looking forward to seeing my 2nd cousins (some of you may have heard of them, The Hughes Brothers...they produced/directed the "Book of Eli", among other movies)...it's been too long.

.

Robert,

Nice razor--as is the rest of your shaving kit...I'll have to check out an Iwasaki 2-chou gake (二丁垳) Kamisori someday.

Have an enjoyable evening with your family.

Gentlemen,

There are so many outstanding razors on display in this week's SOTD that I'm overwhelmed.

I'm in love with them all. Congratulations on your acquisitions; and thanks for sharing pics of them with your fellow SRP members.

Razor: George Wostenholm & Sons Celebrated
Brush: Merkur Futur Silvertip
Scuttle: G5
Strop: SRD Red Latigo
Soap: Body Divine Sandalwood & Vetiver
Astringent: Thayers & Alum Bloc
A/S: Pinaud Clubman
Result: Not too bad at all

This is the first time I've tried this scent in the BD Soap..I must say I now know what all you guys are talking about with Vetiver..great stuff! It lathered up great and gave a nice cushion and the smell was just calming.

Great shaves by everybody this week!!!!

Robert: That blade is making my mouth water, tell the Hughes brothers I said hi and enjoy time with your family.

Catrentshaving: Great setup and welcome to the Vetiver club . Hmm I would love to try a sandalwood/vetiver combo, where did u purchase the body divine shave cream?

You may be able to order it online soon...I happen to know the owner of the company and it was a small test batch

Plus I'm getting a little better with these 2nd and 3rd passes. Tonight is the closest I've come to the perfect BBS yet.

Enjoy Tuesday Boys

Grant, top notch job on the scales on this blade : I'm glad to hear the 2nd & 3rd passes are going well. Thanks for posting the Jacky Boy pictures, my daughter ( just turned 2) identifies him on sight now. She sees my laptop and says "Jack, want to see Jack"

Exquisite as always Maestro! I'm adding a Kamisori to the list! You have some very talented family members. Now if we could get them to do a film about straight razor shaving...
