"That silver wing is spectacular!"
Thank you sharp, for your kind commpliment. Your right the THIERS ISSARD "Celebration Silver Wing" is a spectacular razor and shaver. Thank
you for noticing.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: E. J. best badger
Soap: Proraso
Strop: Tony Miller Heirloom tri-strop (3x25)
Razor: Mastro Livi 6/8
ASB: Proraso Pre- / Post- shave

Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Strop: Illinois 835
Brush: Frank Shaving 24mm Finest Badger
Uber Lather: Col Conk's Bay Rum+Faulding Shave Cream+Glycerine
Razor: Custom Gotta 120
Astringent: Dickinsons Witch Hazel
A/S: Old Spice
Well, I made a decision on the new Brush issue, and ended up going with the Frank Shaving. I decided a step up is a step in the right direction. I'll get to the top shelf brushes one day, but I enjoyed this upgrade in quality so much that I would be happy to take another couple of steps on the way up.
A fantastic shave, the razor was recently touched up, so is shaving beautifully, a nice Uberlather, and the new brush was like wiping my face with velvet.

Thanks for all the great posts and pics

Bill,
I hope you had a good productive day

Result: A quick shave today. 2 passes with the slant ground Napoleon and I'm smooth. It's going to be an interesting week with the weather (snow & ice). Could make for “interesting” travel.

Great shave Glenn...if traveling, I wish you a safe journey.

First time shaving with a DE in better than 30 years. I guess my hand was too heavy with the DE.

Jeff,
That's a long distance to cover in one day...I feel your pain. Nice choice with the AOS + Glycerin mix. It makes for some real nice stuff. After using straights, one becomes almost clumsy with DEs.

John,
Great choice of a razor. That is a fantastic shaver. I've got one and can attest to that fact.
