Post Apocalyptic Shave

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 22mm New Forest Silvertip Badger

Razor: 15/16" E. Klopp "Spezial", Full Hollow, Square Point

Honing: Naniwa 1k, La Petite Blanche Coticule (dilucot), Shapton 5k/12k.

Strop: 5/5 laps (Torolf linen / SRD Premium IV leather)

Überlather: Jack Black "Triple Supreme" Shave Creme + QED "Special 218" Shave Soap + Gycerin

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

Moisturizer: D.R. Harris Aftershave Milk

After Shave Splash: D.R. Harris "Pink" AS

Cologne: James Bronnley EdT

Results: Looks like we made it guys. Yesterday being the end of the world and all, I mean. To celebrate the occasion, I have went with a "Spezial" shave. I recently lucked out on this Klopp razor on eBay. I don't know anything about the maker/manufacturer and there doesn't seem to be much out there. But, whoever they were, they made one heck of a fabulous shaver. This one is literally in a league of her own. Truly extraordinary. She's ~2 times heavier than an equivalent size razor. More pictures of her HERE. I honed her up properly last night using the regimen I outlined above. In return, she rewarded me with a shave that belongs in the history books. I cannot explain it, but I felt absolutely nothing as the blade was drawing across my face. At first I thought my honing failed miserably, but then I noticed that I was not imagining what I was seeing (or rather not feeling): The dark whiskers were giving way to fresh skin in the wake of the blade's wicked edge. I was almost BBS with the first pass (WTG and a XTG touch up pass) ...this, my friends, has never happened to me before. I can confidently admit that it is a first. I usually require a minimum of 3 passes to get BBS.. Of course, the überlather was as amazing as the shave itself . I am ready for our family get together and my niece and nephews piano recital later this afternoon.

Thought I would go the the Irisch Moos today as the Tabac was so good yesterday.
Excellent Idea. Not as nice a fragrance but performance is up there with the best.

Had to upload my photo straight from the computer. Photobucket seems to be misbehaving!

Today I walked in the steps of the crusaders.
We visited Belvoir a ruin of a cruader-fortress 20 miles south Tiberias.
This beautiful fortress was destroyed by Saladin
