Results: This Livi delivers all the goods one has come to expect from a fabulous shave. What's more, she does it with class. The Godrej/Cella überlather was amazing. I had never tried this combination before, but the menthol kick and the moisturizing capacity of the Cella was out of this world (Highly recommended). And the Livi?

I really like Peter's brushes...I only have the 2211, but own a few Chubbys too (two in 2-band variety). I will at some point (soon) consider another NF brush (maybe the Tubby2). I know he'll be doing different type handles, so I want to wait.

Ahhh,the Crown Wing just reported to the Post Office while the Badger is going to have a nightmare tonite.

Thank you for your kind words Moonbeam...It means a lot. Enjoy the Crown Wing (I want pictures this time, LOL) and don't worry about the badger. She and the Crown will get along just fine.

I took a Snow Day today; I guess you could call it a Mental Health day, the Cabin Fever is starting to hit pretty hard. Have a Great Afternoon!

Keeping it simple for my first test shave on this sweetie..

Just got her in yesterday... http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...managnese.html

Late last night I ran her through the full Shapton progression using the same system of a very light slurry for the first 10 laps on each grit except the 30k which I used the 3-2-1 finish on... The results were predictable, giving the exact science of the Shapton hones and the silky smoothness of the Kama edges...
Combined, this gives a wickedly sharp edge, that shaves like an angels kiss on the face..
12 laps on CeOx this morning followed by 25/75 on an SRD Premium 1 stropped her in.
The lather was made on the face with that Col. Conk pure badger and some Williams.. A nice WTG pass and a XTG follow up and done...
I just got the new Bay Rum in from SRD yesterday "St.Lucia" a very clean light Bay Rum scent, can't really get a clove scent from it at all, a nice finish to a simple shave...
