Thanks for sharing all your useful posts and pictures (with some of my razors)

Took the C-mon to the strop this morning in a hope to improve the comfort of the shave; 20 CrO pasted pressed wool then 30 on webbing and 40 on latigo...

Prep: hot shower and a long lather
Soap: CS Lime
Brush: Rooney silvertip
Razor: Dovo C-Mon Blackie
Post: witch hazel
Result was a shave that still feels harsh I might need to put the razor to a hone...

Last SOTD for a few days. Army calls.


Very simple today with a great C-mon. Castle Fobes and Glycerin= Thick lather!
2 pass WTG/ATG was awesome.

Have a great weekend all!!!

Friday

Morris and Forndran brush/QC Esquire SC/Edwin Jagger DE89 with Treet/The Body Shop balsam.

I must say I am seriously impressed with your straight razor collection, I have a few vintage straights myself, in fact i'm about to have go of restoring a Sheffield Kropp razor, I have a rather fancy looking German made razor at Neil Millers for restoration, I also have a Crown & Sword and a Taylors 1000 Sheffield razor. and another Kropp Sheffield razor. when iv'e completed the restoration along with the one I have at Neils I will post a few photo's.

Thank you for the info and the kind words Jamie. Collecting and using these fine pieces of steel is always a fun (and functional) hobby. It's always very satisfying to find an uncommon gem in a sea of typical razors. I can't wait to see your razors when you get them back from Neil. Crown & Swords are always nice shavers as are Kropps.

Thank you kindly Birnando. Yours will probably soon go into the "blueprint stage" mode and knowing you, it'll be a 12/8" Monster, weighting a lofty 1kg, LOOOL. You'll love it for sure

Holy Cow...You're right Tom. 3K already? Man...I really have a lot of "nothings" to say.

Thank you and it was a pleasure shaving with "your" razors, LOOOOOL.

Dunc,
That's a seriously nice Blackie. Take her to the stones my friend...sounds like she needs a good refresh at the very least. You will not be disappointed. These C-Mon blades really take on a keen and smooth edge.

Wowww Sten,
Nice C-Mon...Did you and Dunc coordinate the C-Mon debut today, LOL? Try to enjoy the call of duty the next few days. We'll miss your posts brother but eagerly look forward to seeing you back

Teiste,
I had missed your posts my friend. Seriously nice shave today.

PS: Love your M&F brush. So much so that I ordered two more (27mm and 30mm, both 2-banders)

I saw the post by Dunc and laughed. Must of been a C-Mon day!
I just got settled in and sighed when I unpacked the electric razor...... Oh well I'll have to pull out something special when I get home Mon..
thanks Robert.
