Pre-Shave: a relaxing morning shave

Brush: D.R.Harris(Rooney) Silvertip badger, 26mm

Razor: Tim Zowada Damascus Custom, 5/8 straight point.

Strop: C-Mon Vel-Edge vintage Cordovan Shell

Soap/Cream: Truefitt&Hill, 1805 shaving cream

Astringent: Thayers Medicated SuperHazel

After shave Balm: Truefitt&Hill, 1805

EdT: Truefitt&Hill, 1805

Results: A Custom a day, keeps the whiskers away. This little TZ does fine work, fine work indeed. After a few initial honing problems, my TZ's are now amongst my very best shavers. Keen and sharp!! This is a lot smaller than my usual preference in razors, but for some reason, I just love it. The results of the shave is grand.

Love the Damascus. I'm trying to obtain one now!!

Prep: Hot Water Face Wash, Razor: Imperial Extra Hollow Ground, Brush: Omega Boar, Soap: TSD English Fern, AS: Skin Bracer, Finish: Manantiales De La Toja Agua de Colonia

Nice shave, this La Toja cologne is the bee's knees!

I just remembered why I always wait till the kids go to bed to have my shave.
Little Jacky boy asked me to have a shower with him tonight and I figured, yeah, that should be cool. I'll stick my bowl and brush in hot water as usual, we can have a shower, Mamma can dry him and get him ready for bed while I shave. Easy.
Wrong, Mamma was was feeding the baby. So after drying and getting Jacky dressed for bed, my 6 year old daughter was calling me to come and tuck her into bed, and you cant rush these things. Then it was time for Jack's Chemo.....20 minutes after getting out of the shower, everything's cold, the mood is gone.
So, no shave for me tonight. At least the Crown & Sword is stropped and ready to go tomorrow night.
Good thing I love 'em

As always, thanks for all the great posts guys

Fantastic Robert! Congratulations on an amazing blade. I have to tell you that we are going to have to create a new acronym RARAD...that's Robert Assisted Razor Acquisition Disorder! :

I know what you mean Grant! I got tired just reading about it and it just goes to show what I have always suspected is true...that you're a GREAT Dad I have my shave between 4:30 & 5:30am every morning because everyone is asleep (except on Saturday, I wait until everyone is out and about and then I steel away to the shave den). Sorry you didn't get to enjoy a shave tonight. You'll enjoy the next one that much more I'm certain.

Cheers!
