ooops. Thanks Robert.

Prep:Hot Towel
Scuttle:SRD
Brush:TGN 22mm Super Premium Custom in East Indian Rosewood
Strop:SRD PIV English Bridle
Cream:L'Occitane Cade
Razor: Genco “Easy Aces”
After shave: C.O. Bigelow “Mentha”
EDT: Perry Ellis 360 Blue


Result:I took the Easy Aces to the hones and I am pleased with the results. She gave a great shave, yet I still feel I can squeeze more sharpness out of her. I did 3 passes today and I'm smooth as glass with 0 irritation. The Cade lathered beautifully with distilled water, so I've put my concerns to rest and am really enjoying it. A fine addition to my arsenal of software.

Have a great Saturday gentlemen!

Glenn

Pre: hot towel
Cream: CF Lavender/Liquid Neutrogena makes a super cushion

Sounds good Tom...I will eagerly await your report after the factory visit.

Another beautiful rescale and blade Tom. Wostys are fantastic blades.

PS: So, you are a fan of Frank Herbert? Is this "Dune series" (The children of Dune, Dune Messiah, etc...). I have not read this series, but love his Dune, The Green Brain, Santaroga Barrier, and the Lazarus Effect to name a couple.

Holy cow Bruce...$19??? A nice steal...and of course, Glen's work speaks for itself. Congrats buddy

Otto,
Another nice blade, but I am willing to bet you're a bigger fan of the wedge (wink, wink)

PS you really have RAD,Brushad, soapad BUT IN A GOOD WAY I can only aspire to that level.

Thanks Jim
AD has got me bad (especially soaps). I love experimenting and mixing things up. I guess that's the scientist in me. Talk to Rudy about your TGN. He does fantastic work. Poor guy though...I tortured him. Had him remake this brush 3 times before I was happy.

Stunning shot José. You and Bruce have some of the most elegant DE collection I have seen.

Glenn,
Don't squeeze her too hard...she may spill her guts out, LOL. Great blade buddy and glad you like the Cade creme. Try ubering her with the soap too. Very very good stuff. Distilled water makes a HUGE difference in any lather. Congratulations

Wowww Jim. This is new. What is this liquid Neutrogena? the soap/shampoo? That is a very interesting combination. CF Lavender is amazing.

That's true. Josh Earl made the wedge for me, just the way I wanted it.

Have a great Saturday men!

So, how was the shave? Did you get that final edge on it?

Thank you Max. She is better. I did the Jnat Nagura progression. I watch the edge and it was not micro chipping like it did on the Nortons. She is very smooth but not there yet. I will go back to bevel setting then up through the Progression again. I think when the chipping started i was getting nervious so i prob didnt get the bevel fully set.
