Thanked: 1072Sunday Night Down Under
Location: Coffs Harbour AustraliaPlenty of great posts already this week, you guys are awesome.
Strop: Illinois 835
Brush: FS Finest Badger
Soap: Proraso
Razor: Custom Gotta 120 11/16
A/S Balm: Nivea Replenishing
A/S: Old Spice
Result: I just gave the Gotta a touch-up on the Thuri and then a few laps on the Chrome Ox balsa strop.
Feels a little better, but to be honest I think I left the touch-up too late. Might need to go back a little further in the honing progression. Still, not a bad shave, just not a great one.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend boys

Despite my laziness today, you gentlemen have posted some outstanding shaves!

Prep - Hot towel, Hot scuttle.
Pre-Shave oil - ALRAZ - Saigon, more Hot towel
Soap - ALRAZ - Saigon
Brush - E-Shave Best badger
Razor - ALex Jaques smiling wedge
Ast - Alum
ASB - GFT Skin food Limes
AS - GFT Limes
Another nice day shaping up here. Nice Moreton & Langley Otto, that's looks like a smiling chunk-o-razor. The Saigon scent from Al is a lemon grass so it went well with the GFT limes. The pre-shave oil of Al's is very nice, if you like that sort of thing. I splurged today with the pre-shave oil and a Philadelph custom. Results? My face is SHINY!
Have a nice day,
Mike
