The cherry blossoms are in full bloom. I include them today in hopes that they mark the rebirth of the devastated areas of Japan.

Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Strop: Illinois 835
Brush: FS Finest Badger
Soap: Tabac
Razor: Wostenholm 11/16
Astringent: Thayer's Lemon Witch Hazel
A/S: David Craig Bay Rum
Busy night at culinary school tonight, my first cooking test. A dozen bread rolls, eggs Benedict, crumbed chicken breast with various styles of vegetables and apple fritters with sauce Anglaise. I have to say I'm very happy with how it went. glad its over though.
Just a 2 pass shave tonight, I was looking forward to sitting down with the laptop.
This Wosty is a great shaver and a good looking razor in my opinion. A very satisfying shave.

Lovely Blackie. Thanks for teasing me with it, LOL. I really like your Shavemac. Nice retro looking handles. Congrats on the purchase

Tom,
Great razor and I love that beer mug. My parents have a set of 6 vintage, 1950s, given to them as a gift. Very heavy silver.

Rum,
Sometime a no shave day (or few days) is as good as a great shave. Enjoy and looking forward to your Sunday shave

Superb photo...very creative and artistic. Well done. Great shave too...and who can argue with the doc, LOL?

I wish I had teachers like you in grad school. Your students are lucky Jeff. Tell them I said that and that they shouldn't take you for granted .

Heck grant,
Forget the Wosty. Who can concentrate on your blade when you are so busy making us salivate over that menu? Yuummmm...Sounds delish?

PS: Great blade and shave too

Nice shave Rene with a beautiful blade. How did you do with Al's creme? Is she still giving you some trouble?

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 24mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger

Razor: 5/8" Thiers Issard "Celebration Silver Wing II" Ltd. Ed. #165, Full Hollow, French Point (Ram's Horn)

Strop: 40/50 (Torolf linen/Premium IV leather)

Lather: Nany's "Spicy One" Shave Creme + Glycerin

Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)[B]

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Proraso AS Splash

After Shave Balm: Al's Spicy Orange ASB

Cologne: Penhaligon's "Quercus" EdC

Results: I received a sample of Nanny's soap (actually more like a creme...pretty soft) from Mikael (via Bill). Thank you gentlemen. I like the scent (so does my wife). I used a pea sized amount of this creme in the scuttle and started working it with the Shavemac. Initially, for the first minute or so, not much was happening, but as I added water and worked on it some more, it started taking form and after ~3 minutes (and lots of water), I had before me, a thick and moist creamy lather. However, the elasticity was not quite there as I like my lather to be a bit stretchy. Nanny's was not (maybe 30& compared to Al's and other good cremes like CF). Nonetheless, I like this creme and on a scale of 1-10, I would rate it as a 5 or 5.5 (10 being best). Points were taken off mostly because of glide, but cushion and moisture were OK. Not the best that I am used to or have seen, but passably OK. The TI had no problems with the whiskers and wiped them clean in 2 passes. Smooth and BBS on this Thursday morning .

Have a GREAT Thursday gentlemen.
