Thread: Sun June 5th - Sat June 11th

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.

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.

My thoughts as well.

Saturday
Myrurgia SS/Simfix LE brush/Merkur HD with Treet Classic/Weleda Balsam

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.
