    Default Monday morning

    Pre: Hot shower
    Brush: PJ 3
    Razor: Thomas Turnerīs Everlasting
    Soap: Nannys Ice and a Slice
    AS: Dr Harris Sandalwood
    Strops: Neil Miller
    Scuttle: SWK
    Result: Very clean
    My new scuttle was a joy to use, Iīve to dail in the heat though, tap water is slightly to cold (around 55 degrees c) and water boiler to hot, hmm. Lovely scuttle anyways, sits perfect in my hand, good size and I love the design (limited edition). Ansgar sure knows how to make a scuttle! I missed a spot on my cheek today, when I did touch up, otherwise a very good shave

    This is one of the two razors I made under the mentorship of Bob Allman at his home this past weekend.
    Beautiful Razor. It must be so satisfying to shave with something you created. Congratulations.

    Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
    Strop: Illinois 835
    Soap: Proraso (White)
    Razor: ERN Crown & Sword 6/8
    A/S Balm: Van Heusen
    Result: A little disappointing actually. The C&S pulled a little on the 2 day growth. The face is still smooth after 2 passes but I might take a look at that edge tomorrow and see what I can do.
    Have a great day gentlemen. Its just about bed time for me.

    Prep:Hot Shower
    Brush: H.L. Thater 23mm
    Strop:SRD PIV English Bridle
    Uberlather: TGQ Cavendish Black, JM Fraser Mosswood cream, 5 drops glycerin
    Razor: Kama
    After shave: Ogallala Bayrum Limes & Peppercorns
    EDT: NOIR


    Result: The Kama is a large blade and is such a smooth shaver. 3 passes today with a wonderful smelling lather with excellent cushion and glide. I had enough left to shave at least 2 more people, but the face was so smooth there was nothing left to shave.

    Have a wonderful Wednesday gentlemen!

    Greg, that razor turned out fantastic! Glad to hear you got to make the trip and I can't wait to see her "sister".

    Bill, I have nick named your DD the "Rockstar", I just really love those scales!

    Grant, Sorry to hear about the pulling, I'm sure you'll get her fixed up

    Mikael, Tom, & Fonti, Wonderful photos and gear gentlemen :

    Hot Shower
    5/8" Texas Shumate
    VDH Boar
    Arko Shavestick
    Clubman Bay Rum AS
    Crusellas Colonia 1800 Sandalwood

    Job interview this morning so I whipped out the lucky razor and the sandalwood cologne. Hopefully, being lucky enough to stumble over a near pristine pre-1904 Shumate razor at the flea market for the princely sum of $8 will translate into similar luck for the job. This razor is just fantastic and seems to get sharper with every lap on the strop. Wish me luck fellas, I'm out!
    The older I get, the better I was
