Week of March 13 SOTD - Thursday
An (Almost) All American Shave
Pre-Shave: Hot shower |
Brush: 26mm Simpson "Chubby #2", 2-band Super Badger |
Razor: 11/16" J.R Torrey, Full Hollow, Spike Point (Gift from Rene) |
Strop: 45/55 Torolf linen/Premium IV leather |
Überlather: NancyBoy "Signature" Shave Creme + Mama Bear "Almond" Shave Soap + Glycerin |
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol) |
Moisturizer: NancyBoy Replenishing Facial Moisturizer |
After Shave Splash: St. Charles Shave "Sandalwood" AS |
Results: Today was absolutely a Torrey day for two reasons: 1) It's USA razor day, and 2) it's a special gift from Rene (thanks buddy). I love this blade. She delivers an amazing shave every time and today was no exception. The NancyBoy SC is one of those cremes that doesn't get much mention (probably because of the name), but she definitely belongs in the top 10 list of shave cremes. Another smooth and BBS shave with zero irritationhttp://straightrazorpalace.com/images/smilies/yowza.gif. |

Gotta Love it... Happy St Patty's Day

This was a tuff choice today but I finally chose some NY Steel with my Thistle... If I would have been more awake I would have pulled one of the Green Lizards for St Patrick's Day.....
Lather - Prairie Creations Tahitian Amber Tallow
Brush - Solid "Warm" Brass 22mm Silvertip
Razor - 6/8 Thistle Cut Co NY USA

Really didn't have much to shave after the Iwasaki yesterday, and 6 razors to test shave today, so the Thistle was batting clean up :D
