Shave Mac best badger
Gold Gillette Tech using Gillette blades
C&E Nomad s/c
Alum
Gillette a/s gel

clubman wax, Murrays Hair Wax

3 passes, bbs. Until I see some $$$ from disability, I'm forced to use a DE, and may be permanently due to hand problems.

Wax's were both for my mustache. I find that if I style first with Clubman then use Murrays (which has really good hold) my stash will hold up better than using clubman alone. If I use Murrays alone it is hard to style, but combining the two, in separate applications the hold is great and it washes out easily.

Glen this is some Fantastic gear Sorry about the dentist...I HATE the dentist (I have a good friend who is a dentist and I have a hard time hanging out with him because he's a dentist). Hope you feel better soon!

Great job on this blade Grant. Glad to see I'm not the only one who likes blueing on a blade! Love the vintage Thuringian hone in the background

YEEEAAAAAHHHHH Glenn. That's the ticket laddy - practice, practice. That's exactly the reason why I appreciate Max, Glen, Lynn (and countless others) for their master honing skills...1000s of blades have gone through their hands. Makes me look like a wanna-be.
Keep having fun

Thanks Robert! I'm really enjoying the honing journey, the best part is realizing there is a problem area on a blade and KNOWING how to fix it! I : to all the masters we are so fortunate to learn from!
EVERYONE, Thanks for your shots this week! I've enjoyed each and everyone of them. Thank you so much for posting! You gentlemen Rock!

Das Uberlather was a gift from HornM/Michael it is a local soap maker out of Portland called Escential the soap is the Himalayan and the cream is their Shea Butter and White Tea, combined with 5 drops of glycerin and you will be hard pressed to beat it at any price, I am going to have to name this uber soon

Dentists and shaving don't go together, but I can definitely feel this special shave. Very nice Glen. Can't wait to see what you'll name this uber

Is that all it took? Nicely done

I hope things turn out with the disability $$ for you.

But, it sounds like you had a great shave. And great job figuring the "chemistry" behind the Clubman/Murray combination.
