Good shave on a windy winter morning.

Received a shipment from SRD the other day, this was my first opportunity to try the new acquisitions out.

Ern straight razor
Buffalo hide strop from srd
Pasted paddle strop
Futur silvertip from srd
Vanilla bourbon soap from srd
Alum block
Srp tobacco a/s balm

3 passes bbs. Loved all of the new supplies. The brush could've been a tad larder, but it performed well and that is what matters.

Thank you! When I first got the suggestion, for transparant scales, I wasn´t that thrilled, but it turned out nicely on this blade, I think.

PS: I've been doing a bit of research (articles etc) in my free time and learning some interesting facts about the chemistry and biochemistry of scents (Essential Oils and Sandalwood in general). Once I finish, I will be posting in a thread some of my thoughts about these scents. The whole thing is incredibly interesting and complex.

Since I got my new SWK scuttle I´ve been having warm lather, but I remembered today that Nannys soaps doesn´t like it to hot and it worked out very fine and this new formula is really nice (as is the old, for me they´re the top ranking soaps). Neils strops are so nice aswell, this cardovan one I´ve got is da tits, all the way and it only gets better and better! :D
