Great looking razor Otto. You've reignited my RAD again.

Basic Setup today:

Very hot shower
Shavemace 177
TABAC
Dovo Best 5/8ths
Thayers Lemon W.H.
Musgo Real A/S

Another long day. Only two more.

Hot shower
Warm Oil
Badger Brush
Dirty Bird Scuttle
Tabac Shave Cream
Torrey faux frame back
AOS Aluminum
Stephan Lilan
Vaseline for men

First time using the Tabac Shave cream given to me by Rene. The Tabac was very creamy and very thick. It provided nice cushion and a nice shave. I'll be getting some!!

Nice shave today. Enjoy the evening.

...but I will gladly exchange with your Wosti Max-Scales!

I don't know if that's a fair deal. A brush for a Maxterpiece, LOL.

Great DFS today. The Wool fat took a little more work with this soft, a little on the floppy side Vie Long horsehair.

A beautiful combination. A fabulous wedge to march through the MWF lather. Well done David

Monroe,
That's an interesting combination of soap/creme. Did the scents clash (I haven't smelled the LT creme) or did the Pre de Provence overpower the LT?

That's probably one of the most elegant TIs I have seen. Perfect size too. You don't often see them in that size either.

Thanks Monroe,
When Max first suggested it, I gulped but trusted his eye for design. He has never steered me wrong. You see, I am not much into eclectic colors/designs...I was not disappointed. In fact, I think any other scale material would not have done this razor justice.

Nicely done. Fabulous gear and software. Hopefully, you didn't scald your skin with the "very" hot water, LOL. But a hot shower helps prep the beard and skin for the perfect lather. In fact, I like it when my face is still sweating (after my shower) before I apply the lather. I get my best shaves that way.

Hey Jeff,
Goes to say: meeting Rene can be hazardous to your wallet, LOOOOOOOOOL. If you go broke, you know who to blame, LOL. Now, if you have to soap, put the 2 together and see magic happen before our eyes.

Robert,

No...The PdP and the LT complemented each other. The La Toja's nice fragrance isn't that heavy anyway.

As for the Paua shell scales...Believe me, you and Max made the right choice. You don't see a lot of straights with scales like that.
