Star Brand str8/Gillette menthol cream/Frank silvertip/Pierre CardinNot a lot of freeze in the Gillette, but just enough to feel refreshed. A very nice shave today. I still haven't been able to get BBS with a straight, but I'm making progress. There are some really good pictures today of some awesome blades. Have some great shaves today gentlemen.
Preshave: Hot shower
Razor: F. Herder Abr. S. Solingen No. 20 (6/8", full hollow, muted square point)
Strop: DOVO Cowshide
Brush: My new Shavemac 410 28mm
Superlather: Tabac and TBS Maca Root
AS: hot towel, cold towel, Alum, cold towel, Nivea Balm Sensitive
Result: A perfect near BBS shave. Zero irritation, 3 small cuts on the upperlip from a wrong ATG move, but the were gone after a cold towel.
The Tabac and Maca root really complement each-other's fragrance, it'll be my goto superlather from now on. The lather was very dense, moist and slick. I'm very happy with the brush, it's breaking in nicely.
Tomorrow I have a funeral from one of my mothers friends, this shave will last till then. Enjoy the friday gentlemen!
Razor: 6/8 C.V. Heljestrand
Cream: C.O. Bigelow
Brush: B&B Essential
Aftershave: 444 + Brut
Cologne: Brut
Great pics everyone!! :tu

@all:
thanks for your greetings, friends.
Yes, now I'm 54 years old, but need no wheelchair!:roflmao
There are some things left I'll do in my life.
e.g. buying some razors from Max; traveling to Israel and the USA; doing a good job everyday; getting good friends in this forum...
First and foremost, Happy Birthday Tom (see, I knew your B-Day was coming up). You don;t need a wheel chair...I am sending over a walker for you to use, LOL

Well, I picked this baby up in the classifieds this week from "Angeleyes." The scales by Max mesmerized me and I had no control over the purchase. :rofl2: Needless to say, I am glad for my "involuntary" purchase as this thing shaved like an absolute dream.
Thanks Glenn! This one I "did" myself :)Quote:
