Glenn

Prep:Hot Shower, Sandalwood & Vanilla Pre-Shave Oil
Scuttle:Dirty Bird Custom Double
Brush:TGN 22mm Silvertip Custom in E. Indian Rosewood
Strop:SRD PIV English Bridle
Cream:Frankincense, Myrrh, & Vetiver Custom Bomb
Razor: Geneva (first shave since the restoration)
Hones:Norton 1k/4k/8k, Nakayama Maruka (unknown strata, but if I had to guess, I'd say Kita), Shoubudani Asagi
After shave: Frankincense, Myrrh, & Vetiver Custom ASB
EDT: Cartier Roadster


Result:This morning was the 2 pass test shave for the Geneva. The edge was just as I hoped it would be, very smooth and very sharp. The lather was perfect today, the brush was silky soft, the shave amazingly comfortable. The FMV Bomb & ASB couples nicely with the Cartier Roadster EDT and I'm feeling like a celebrity today. Today will go down as one of my most memorable.

Have an amazing Friday gentlemen!

I discovered this place today Coffs Harbour Men's Shed | CHESS Employment and spent the afternoon there. It's basically a big workshop full of tools and equipment thats all there for you to use for a $1-2 per day donation. Because I dont have a bandsaw yet, I made the most of theirs. Cutting up acrylic blocks for scales and also the piece of burl that I used for todays Bengall, got enough for another 2 sets of burl scales.
Its really a fantastic organization and a great bunch of blokes.
Results: The Bengall made it easy for me. I was satisfied after 1 pass + touch-ups. It's not a BBS, but not too far off. Good enough for quiet Friday night.

Have a great weekend gentlemen.

WOW Very lucky indeed! Beautiful job!

This razor was the first attempt i had with my new honing progression. Im glad to say it wasnt my imagination. 2 passes with a touch up on the right jaw line"As usual" Not the prettiest but STICKY smooth. I used Bath house Spanish nut & fig and Acca Kappa(Thank you Robert). WOW what a combo. Thick, creamy lather that never faided or thined out. Even after my daughter had me run up stairs,just as i lathered my face,to kill a bug. Im The Big Bad Bug Killer!!! LOL!
