    Default Tuesday Morning

    Prep: Hot shower - followed by Lucky Tiger Molle’ brushless shave cream
    SS/SC: Pre de Provence + Gillette (Menthol) = Superlather
    Brush: Rooney 3-2 faux Ebony “Super Badger”
    Strop: VB Red Latigo 50 fabric; 55 leather
    Razor: 5/8” Boker “Red Injun”
    Astringent: Dickinson’s Witch Hazel
    ASB: Anherb Natural Aftershave Conditioner

    Result: An outstanding shave!

    O'Botacario (Brazilian) is a little known manufacturer of men's and women's fragrances. It's difficult to find in the USA, but imho it can't be beat as a great finish to a shave.

    Buddel | Semogue Custom Boar | Martin de Candre | Sabon | Lorenzo Villoresi Vetiver

    This is my official application for membership in the Buddel Razor club. What an incredible shave! Yesterday I received my new custom 7/8 French Point in suminagashi steel with camel bone scales from Germany. It is a stunning looking blade, but the shave was even better. With this manly blade I accessorized its maiden voyage with the wonderful French soap, a workhorse Portuguese brush, Israeli ASB and my favorite Italian scent. Not one piece disappointed--other than the fact that after one pass, my skin was so smooth that I was worried I wouldn't get to do a second pass!

    I am on top of the world, ready for court!

    Thank you Gabor for this stunning piece of craftsmanship!
