The Shave was really nice. My skin was fresh and the nick/cut was fully healed. I was moving some stuff around in the basement and found some old stuff of mine and my Dads. Figure it would make for a nice photo.

Hope everyone has a safe New years.

#168 Mikael, this is a great looking razor. Upon a second glance at the photo, it has a similar double entendre as your snowman photo from last week too funny!

Happy New Year! Thank you! I really tried, but couldn´t see it and I pride myself to have a dirty mind, lol.

And may the force be with you Tom (nice blade!) and Everyone else too. Thank you for all the nice comments and I´m impressed by the staminia many have here - taking lovely pictures + being so nice and taking the time to give positive feedback. You all:

Good morning Gentleman!

BOX: Wooden Barber's Box from Ireland
PREP: Proraso Preshave Cream
BRUSH: KENT BK12
SOAP: Geo.F. Trumper GFT Shave Cream
SCUTTLE: Georgetown Pottery Scuttle
STROP: Kanayama Cordovan
RAZOR: G. Wostenholm & Sons, Celebrated IXL Razor - Washington Works
SHAVE: WTG / XTG
AS: Geo.F. Trumper West Indian Extract of Limes Skin Food
CREAM: L'Occitane CADE Youth Concentrate for men
COLOGNE: Clinique Happy for men
RESULT: first-class shave

Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Strop: Illinois 835
Brush: Comoy Badger
Cream: Tabac
Razor: Royal Invicta 6/8 (E.M. Dickinson, Sheffield)
A/S Balm: Nivea Replenishing Post Shave
A/S: Old Spice
This was my first ever shave ready razor, my first restoration and my first set of scales. I like to think I've come a long way since then but I am very sentimental about this one.
Result: I finally tried the Tabac cream and really enjoyed its old school kind of smell. I'm also liking the new bottle of Old Spice, Its a real wake up call for the face. An enjoyable shave, but I'm going to have to take the Invicta for a touchup to get it were it needs to be. Its just starting to pull a little.

Happy New Year Boys. Thanks for all the great posts and pics
Grant

Fantastic Grant. Take that baby to the hones and watch her shine. Glad you enjoy Tabac...Do you have the soap? if not, I think that's even better than the creme.

Grant,
As you have probably guessed, this forum has evolved to be more than just a place where we share pictures...it is a family affair. In some ways, little Jack (and your family) has become an integral part of our lives and families. There is not a day that my nephews and niece don't ask about the little guy.

Having said that, I adamantly hope (and pray) that the challenge of 2010 is nothing more than a distant memory and 2011 proves to be a healthy one for you all.

Wow, result! This blade is sharp, prob 5 on a 1-5 scale. After stroping, a hair splits where ever you tap it on the edge .

Wowww Mikael,
Fantastic way to start day of of 2011. Way to go maestro. I love that frameback.

Warm weather dreams this morning. I'm already sick of winter!

Excellent post Mark and happy new year.
Just hop on over to LA and you and I can hang out in some warm(er) weather. It's an open invitation buddy...anytime you feel sick of where you are, just catch a plane and come on over...you always will have a "home away from home" and a place to stay

Definitely has become one of my favorites (as well as the MK 32). I just need to slightly tighten the pivot pins as the blade was moving too much during stropping.

Enjoy them my friend. These blades seem to have found a great place to call home
