Razor - 4/8 Union Cutlery Red Dog
Turntable - Empire 208
I don't remember what I've got for my brush and soap. I made the stand from some spare electrical wire and a bottle cap. Cheap, but functional. Some day I'll construct something more elegant.

Happy New Year!

Yeah I think they said the death toll was 3, an area about 10 minutes from my office was hit by an f3 or f4 tornado (preliminary report).

The Asagi is a very interesting stone! It provides a smooth, yet VERY sharp edge with just water. I'm still playing around with slurry on it.

The Mama Bear's Romance is like the Ralph Lauren Romance Silver, I like it.

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.

Grant that blade is wonderful (1st attempt or 1000th attempt, she's a beauty!). Keep up the Fabulous job

Grant, that was very well said. Happy New Year Brother!

Sounds like you've kicked off the new year with a bang Rene!

First shave of the New Year was my first shave with a Kamisori style razor. I got mixed results as the dominant side of my face was BBS, but the non-dominant side was not. I must work on getting the angle right.

On the bright side, MWF + Musgo is the ultimate uberlather in my opinion. I have not found any other combo that outperforms this duo.

Great shot and a beautiful razor.
I'm sure you will master the Kamisori in no time.

First shave on the new year. Robert sent me some Cade soap. Which got me interested. I found L'Occitane in CT. I went today and bought some Vetyver. Ahhh.. Love this stuff. Decided to celebrate the new year with my Fili 13. Great choice. 3 passes what a great shave!
