    Prep: Hot Shower, Baby Oil Gel
    Razor: Boker Red Injun 102
    Brush: Semogue 2000
    Soap: VDH Deluxe
    AS: Alum Block, Nivea ASB, Skin Bracer
    Finish: British Sterling

    Result: A wonderful shave this Boker is another one that just seems to get sharper with use.


    Grant,
    Here's a good source for SE blades. Even here, good quality SE blades are getting hard to find. These are the Ted Pellas, as good as they get. If this looks like a lot of money to pay, notice that this price is for two boxes of 100 blades each. This will solve your problem for a LONG time.

    Thumbs up

    I wasn't going to shave today, but decided to do a simple one (no picture). Used the DE and Ogallala Bay Rum + CarrieM Bay Rum. Great stuff and a nice DFS shave .

    Thank you Mikael...My wife does get engaged in my shaves often and enjoys the results. I like that. She's a very good sport

    Jose,
    Nice shots buddy. The backdrop looks heavenly. The gear looks great too, but I must say when it comes to maple, I like to eat it, not wear it, LOL

    Nice score Mikael. Those Bergs can be wonderful shavers. Are you going to fully hone her up or are you satisfied with the edge?

    Thanks Grant. But now I understand why many mistook this Boker as a Maxterpiece. I had labeled her a as such. This is what happens when you copy and paste from the last post. I'll be more careful next time.

    Sorry to hear about the shave Grant. But, as they say, you gotta have all the right tools for the right job. I am sure some of the other SE using gents in this forum will chime in to suggest where to get the right blades. Once there, I am certain that this shave will belong in the books. Great photo though

    Hehehehe...I wonder who would do such an evil thing to you, LOL? Nice Dovo buddy. But, I must say, like Max, John puts a killer edge on a blade. Now, to fully enjoy the beauty of this blade, you gotta have her Maximized, LOL. One has to be very careful about turning into a Maxoholic, LOL.

    Kobar Straight
    Omega Pro 49
    Provence Sante
    Nivea Cooling Post A/S Balm

    Wonderful smooth and close shave today
    Fantastic Results, slowed down a bit and
    started listening to my girl, love her music
    and went for BBS shave today, low and
    behold after two slow, smooth, long passes
    and some touch up, I got a near BBS Shave !!!
    Very close and a tad bit better than just
    a DFS. I owe this shave to the wonderful
    mood that Alicia Keys puts me in while
    listening to her sing !!! Great to be back on track Guys !
    Enjoy this beautiful song, by a beautiful artist !!!

    Razor: Futur (0n 2 for the head, 4 for the face)
    Blade: Supermax stainless
    Brush: Turkish Horsehair #7
    Soap: Arko pressed in an old spice mug
    Finishing touch: aqua Velva , AVon ASB, Royal Copenhagen cologne

    I read a review that this blade couldn't cut butter ? It is becoming my favorite head shaving blade, smooth and gentle. With blades as everything shave related, YMMV. The #7 is another Turkish horsehair brush, finally got it de-funked and gave it a whirl. I must say " it is good". 2 passes on the noggin 3 passes on the face and I've been rewarded by the shave God's with creamy lather and another BBS shave. Life is good.

    Great shaves today, gentlemen.
