She's a beauty Frank
And how many times has that happened to you, LOOOOL??
Another beautiful W&B Tom. I bet you're already packed for Israel.
Very true José. Well said
Great gear Mikael. Doesn't the Provence Sante (Verlaine, I assume) smell divine? Great performance too
Excellent first SOTD post. Welcome to the fold
Well done Birnando. What a nice choice of gear this AM too. Great honing regimen too. I think I should be using my AdP one of these days.
Happy graduation Jeff. Please extend my wife and I's heartfelt congratulations to your daughter. Well done. Enjoy the ceremony.
Are you serious? One look and you folded?? Today was the kind of day for a very special shave. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do..regardless of "the look", LOL
Grant,
What an awesome heirloom. My grandfather was heavy into traditional stuff. I was too young to understand it at the time and my dad was never one to care for these things. I wished that I had owned some of my grandpa's gear. As I understand it, he had some very nice pieces.
Konstantinos,
What a gorgeous shot. Masterfully done. An exceptional choice in hardware/software too.
Among other things, LOOOOOOOOOL.Last edited by BladeRunner001; 05-14-2011 at 07:41 PM.

First Test shave with the
Da Razor: Cleaning-The DD came in today in the mail, I was waiting with much anticipation; I knew that there was a lot of work to be done to this razor so I set out early to clean it up. It was cruddy; so I took the Dremmel and some Flitz and plenty of rags...two hours later it was a different razor, even Mrs HOG was impressed. Cleaned the scales even the inside of the scales were full of muck.
Honing da razor: Well, it was received dirty and dull. For this job I selected the two coticules I own, one of these is more aggresive than the other and since I don't know if they had a noble birth (the vein they were mined) I called them the Arrogant Bastards. I set the bevel with the more aggressive of the two raising slurry, did not count laps; I proceeded to tape the spine and raised more slurry on the aggresive bastard ...lots more x strokes and looking at the bevel under light, then I switched to the more gentle coticule with water only and polished the edge.
Test shave: I almost took my nose off. Just kidding! I had a wonderful smooth shave, no nicks or razor burn...happy, happy HOG.
Da Brush: Semogue hogs hair
Da Soap: Nomad in shaving mug
Da Aftershave: Spanish Floid Suave.
SHAVE ON BOYS! HOG
