1. Honing (BIG accomplishment...it gets better and addictive)

3. Participating in SRP and more specifically SOTD. We love having you here.
4. That's a fine str8 you've got there. Looking forward to seeing others.

Thank you, Robert
Someday I'll polish the str8 and give her a set of custom scales she deserves.
gssixgun's videos have been so helpful in my honing. I would never have progressed this far if it wasn't for my shave brothers sharing their information on the forums. It is a wonderful community that we belong to.

That interview yesterday got me into the final cut! I Have to wait 2 weeks for the final round of interviews though. There should be a lot of good shaves between now and then.

Pre-Shave: Hot Towel
Brush: Vestavia 25mm Silver Tip
Razor: Boker Edelweiss 5/8 w/ bone scales
Strop: SRD 3" Premium I - 30/50 fabric/leather
Lather: Pre de Provence soap w/ shea butter

After Shave: Nivea Sensitive w/ added lavender essential oil

Tried to go with a more "classic" style photo...

Thanks Robert. The flowers were actually my corsage that I wore. If you look closely, you will see that they are actually not real flowers. The wife did an excellent job on it as well as her bouquet constructing them both out of fabric and ribbon.

That's really cool Frank, and that way you will be able to enjoy them for a long time to come.

Saturday morning

soap: Calani Bay Rum
brush: Muehle
razor: H-Diamond
AS: Brut

Have a nice day.

Pre: Hot shower
Brush: Shavemac D01
Razor: Les tres Croix
Soap: MWF
AS: Prada
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
It´s a fact, I can´t stand MWF ... 4 inches wide rash on the chin and a major wood fire feeling when I aplied the AS. Razor was excellent though. No more lanolin for me, I guess

Strop: Illinois 835
Brush: Frank's Finest Badger
Soap: Proraso (White)
Razor: Simmon's Barber's Pet
Ast: Thayer's Witch Hazel
A/S: Old Spice
I gave the Barber's Pet 80 laps on the Thuringian today, surprisingly it seemed to make very little difference. I still cant quite figure this razor out, still a good shave though.

Hope you guys are enjoying the weekend

Rex 5/8 | Ever-Ready w/ TGN ST-A | C.R. Salter French Vetiver | Thayers Rose | Cade ASB | Encre Noire

A simple, yet effective shave today. No fancy, high-end hardware or software, but I was left BBS smooth and ready to wrap up this week!
