    Prep: Morning PT, Hot Shower, Baby Oil Gel
    Razor: Texas Shumate
    Brush: Semogue 1305
    Cream: TOBS Eton College
    AS: Skin Bracer
    Finish: British Sterling (Dax High and Tight for the stash)
    Result: Catfish Belly Smooth! What a razor this old Shumate is. This was like shave #20 since it last touched a stone and with just a bit of stropping this thing was absolutely scary sharp. Some people can't abide the smell of TOBS Eton College but for me it's quite nice and delivers a very good shave.

    Post Week of June 5 SOTD - Saturday

    Pre-Shave: Hot shower
    Brush: 22mm New Forest 2211 Silvertip Badger
    Razor: 11/16" C-Mon "HF", Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point
    Strop: 40/55 laps (Torolf linen / SRD Premium IV leather)
    Überlather: Proraso Shave Creme + Cella Creme de Barba Shave soap + Glycerin
    Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)
    Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
    After Shave Splash: Proraso AS
    Cologne: Acca Kappa "Calycanthus" EdC
    Results: After Paul (aka, Str8Shooter) and Dunc's (aka, Dunc) C-Mon show down yesterday, I was tempted to use mine today. I coupled the blade with a Proraso/Cella über to maximize the experience. I was not disappointed. Every one of my senses was experiencing a heightened state of elation. It was that good. True Zen, super BBS and super smooth.

    Shaved with the Hilger and sons Mark sent me, it was an excellent experience. The razor deserves a lot of attention, and will make an official appearance after its finished.
    It was so perfect as far as size and grind that it now demarks my personal preference as far as the "perfect" razor goes.
    Have a great Saturday everyone.
