I'm enjoying all these new ingredients that my wife bought me for my birthday. The Tabac is great, and a late present just arrived today, a sample pack of different Thayer's Witch Hazels. I have to say I'm sold already, tried the original tonight and my skin feels fantastic.
Result: 3 passes and I'm BBS. Even got the thumbs up from Jacky boy. If he's awake he likes to rub cheeks with me and check the smoothness, he also likes a drop of Bay Rum on his neck.

Have a great day gentlemen

Fonti, I love the patina on that blade, very nice.

Prep:Hot shower
Brush:AOS Pure Badger
Strop:SRD Paddle
Cream: Cade
Razor: Dove “Best Quality”
After shave: Pinaud Clubman
EDT: L'Occitane Vetyver


Result: 1st try with the Cade cream. I had a difficult time getting it to lather, when I did it seemed too dry and then I added a tiny bit of water and it felt too wet. What seems to work for you guys? I'll keep working at it.

Have a great Tuesday gentlemen!

Great job on that razor! I thought it was a Buddel when I first looked at it.

I honed this up on sunday night after my successful hone on sat. I had very little stubble. Which usually make for a difficult shave for me. But Monk came through. I'm a honing animal. LOL! Yea right.
