Thread: Sun January 23rd - Sat January 29th

I am traveling, and wanted to not be forced to check bags so I improvised my equipment, and finally tried out a DE I had been sitting on. The results BBS I won't lie. I will say I'm not going to give up my straight razor any time soon, but this will do when I need to travel by plane somewhere.

Prep: hot shower
brush: AOS travel kit synthetic I think
cream: AOS lemon
razor: merkur 38, with Merkur blade.
post shave balm: GFT limes skin food
after shave: Agua de Colonia Concentrada

vinnyt,

Try a Gillette 7 O'clock (yellow package) in your Merkur DE razor. You'll really appreciate it.

Scuttle: Schwarweisskeramic small black/white
Lather: Truefitt & Hill Grafton + glycerine
Brush: Stephen's Woodworking Silvertip
Razor: 13/16 Turton & Sons with G10 scales (custom work by Alex Jacques)

I think someone's been ignoring her belly rubs, LOL

Thank you Mark,

Hmmmm...I don't know about a symbol, but she has what looks like the number "2" right at the tip of the tail (on one side only)

Nothing fancy here, just a collection of affordable stuff that works well. Late shave today, I stayed home today as my grandson had a pretty bad asthma attack last night (pretty scary to say the least). As a young child I had asthma so I can totally relate to how scared he must have been waking up unable to draw a decent breath. He's awful tired today but resting up and getting better.

Great shave...hope the little guy starts feeling better. Nice of you to stay with him...great quality time

Yesterday was my one year anniversary if joining the SRP. Thanks to you!!!!

Jeff,
Congrats...she looks beautiful. And we NEVER tire of hearing you talk about your kids. it's great to hear that Men are proud to be fathers and don't mind sharing that very fact. That speaks volumes about your character and of course, the kids keep coming back home....which means that you (and your wife) certainly must have done something right.

Oh BTW: Happy one year Anniversary maestro.

I wish you safe travels...DE certainly beats cartridge shaving any day of the week and twice on Sunday. So, enjoy these shaves as you will be reunited with your straights again, soon enough.

This is my favorite keeping it simple shavette combo.

I need to tune up my photography skills. Y'all take some great pictures around here.

Yes Sir, a kinda strange looking "2" on the face side right at the tip. "Small World"
The Henckels is starting to grow on me now that I got a good edge
on it. Thanks Robert !

I just picked up a DE of ebay last night for the same reason, hope my first shave is as successful as yours. Nice pic too.
