Frank,
Trumper's Rose is an amazing soap. Great choice.
You're welcome Tom
Nothing wrong with looking...I was going to do that too, but couldn't resist saying something.
Excellent shot and gear Chris.
I don't blame you. Great one Amund
Sweeeeeeet
Excellent Monroe. Is "White Badger" the same as Silvertip?
Wooowwww David...Nice choice. I love it.
Nice razor Mark, but not using sister's shave soap, LOL????...that's sacrilege, LOL.
How do you like the Williams. I have not heard too many positive things about it.
Those Pumas are some sharp shavers. Great gear
Ahhhhhhhh...Thank you Tesite. Finally the Godrej gets some exposure. That is one great creme with one slick lather (it is tallow based too)...and very very cheap too. Fantastic choice.
...and for the record: you are not repetitive. Looking forward to your SOTDs every day. Thanks for sharing
That's a mighty fine looking blade you're got there chief. I love the combo barber's notch/Spike point. Very nice.
Beautiful Sachin...NB is yet another soap that doesn't get a lot of play around here (don't know why). I have seen Jeff (aka MVcrash) post about it and I use once in a blue moon. It truly is a marvelous creme.
What a nice setup Tom.

Thanks Robert, to be honest I don't have a problem with Williams + 2 to 3 drops of glycerin or some of my sis's soap mixed in with it. I've heard alot of negatives on it to, but it really works fine for me, as far as her soap it works great and she is giving me the recipe for it and some schooling and I'm gonna start making it myself. I'll be sure to get some to you to check out. Beautiful shave you had yourself too, Robert.
BTW, me Helje will be here this week !Last edited by blugill; 01-17-2011 at 05:45 AM.

Tom: it´s one of my favourites Very Sheffieldish and an excellent shaver, but I need to tighten the pins at the pivot, the roughest part right now is stropping, due to that. Are the scales original for your W&B (nice!) and I also like the hollow ground Sheffields, they´re stiffer grounds even though hallow, like the swedes

"Sheffieldish" is a funny word, but you're right.
Yes, the scales of my W&B (today) are original.

Robert,
That's difficult to say. Brush makers tend to have their own categories of grading the hair used in the manufacture of their brushes.
I have seen what appear to be the same Vie-Long brush on different vendors' websites advertised as white badger on one and silvertip on the other. One vendor alleges that the Vie-Long white badger is comparable to the European white badger used by Plisson in their brushes, which is pretty high quality.
If there is a difference in the type of badger hair or the quality, I can't tell the difference. I'm so impressed with the one Vie-Long that I own, that I'm seriously thinking of getting another Vie-Long at some point. In fact, there is a sale on some Vie-Long brushes at one vendor right now. Shoot me a pm and I'll provide you with the url."Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." Mark Twain
