Sorry you didn't get to enjoy a shave tonight. You'll enjoy the next one that much more I'm certain.

Cheers!

Razor:Maximum Veiga

Strop: Ambrose corto Spanish Horse(20/50)

Brush: Vulfix Grosvenor & Simpson superbadger

Lather: Martin de Candre

AS:Lotion Opaline

Comments:Amazing razor arrived from Las Vegas,... as you know the restorations of Max are absolutely awesome, plenty of details, as the scales in a perfect shape and weight for balance,....and the look of this Veiga,....What a rebirth! .... Some weeks ago Miguel and me ask us thinking about the razors restored by max...."Why don't send a pair of razors to Max?" Said and done...the result is here and I got now a maxterpiece that gives shine to my humble razor collection.

Thanks a lot to Robert (Bladerunner001) to resist the temptation and let the razors come back to Spain,

What a target Béla!!!!

This is a so fair and far target, Jose.

Rosh Hanikra near the Lebanese border.
This group ist still kayaking through the caves


a view into the caves


We took a street nearby the Lebanese border and saw some Israel tanks ( Merkava).
As an old tank-commander I feeled good!!!

Wednesday

Tabac Soap, New Forest 2213, Rolls Razor, Alum, Tabac AS




Attempted to hone the blade on my stones but its not as sharp as my straights. Still a good shave but a couple of rough patches.

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 24mm Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger

Razor: 7/8" Giesen & Forsthoff Decorated back, Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point

Strop: 40/60 laps (Torolf linen / SRD Premium IV leather)

Überlather: Floris № 89 Shave Creme + Floris № 89 Shave Soap + Glycerin

Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Truefitt & Hill "Spanish Leather" AS

After Shave Balm: Truefitt & Hill "Trafalgar" ASB

Results: It is rather hard to beat a shave with the M&M, but I consider today's pretty darn good. The lather from the Floris was bountiful and fabulous . Love the scent of № 89. Riddled in a mix of [bergamot, lavender, neroli, nutmeg, orange, petitgrain, geranium, rose, ylang ylang, cedarwood, musk, oakmoss, sandalwood, and vetiver], this English soap doesn't receive the praise it deserves and it certainly knows no bounds when it comes to quality. It couples perfectly with the Morris & Forndran brush. The G&F had an easy time today; not a lot of whiskers to clean up considering yesterday's wonderful shave with my M&M. Nevertheless, I went all out and feel BBS and super smooth. Happy face = Happy me .

Have an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Wednesday gentlemen. My thoughts are with the folks living in tornado stricken areas of the US.
