Beautiful new Bob Allman there, I love that razor.

All great posts already today boys. keep 'em coming

Gillette Tuckaway : Wilkinson (U.K.) : Semogue 2000 : Valobra Menthol : Hugo Boss No. 1 after shave : Ortigia Sicilia Ambra Nera after shave lotion



- An excellent shave, once again. Face was in good shape having shaved with a straight yesterday, the Tuckaway rocks for me (as a DE), the long loft of the Semogue contributed to a fantastic face-lather application and the Ortigia lotion is protective yet not oily.

- Now that I do one day straight shaving and one day DE, my face suffers from much less irritation than before, I am enjoying the shaves even more and could not be happier. Plenty to learn, still, but that's the interesting part...

- I have to agree: nice scales, Béla.

Have a nice Sunday, folks.

Razor:Taylor 6/8

Strop: Ambrose "corto" Spanish Horse (25/50)

Brush:Semogue SOC Finest badger

lather: Dr.Selby lavender luxury shaving cream

Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel astringent

EdT:Achiles Brito, Lavanda

Comments:The Dr. Selby shaving cream from Uruguay is not as a cream than as a soap, it's a solid product that gives a thick creamy and perfumed lather, the SOC have found a great friend to give me an outstanding shave. The razor is one of my favs, but I don't know the brand exactly, the ebay seller (an antique store from Swansea in Wales ) told me that it was a Taylor, and the other razor I boght it was a "Taylor eye witness" but both razors were in boxes from a cutlery named "Taylor" in Birmingham, unfortunately my blue rescaled have not a brand in the blade.
