Pentecost service with our American guests in the St. George church of Glauchau.

After the service the deacon Kretzschmann gave us a guided tour and we climbed up the tower to get a view over the town.
Janice and her son Sam were very interested. Sam will become a US-Marine!

Once again with a beautiful Thiers Issard.

Result: First shave with this razor and I am impressed. She took a beautiful edge and brings about that feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction. My honing time was cut in half after spending time with Lynn last weekend and learning some “tricks”.

Just read the other restoration thread. Great work. Thats awesome your honing has gone through such an improvement after hanging with "The Man".

Great brush and razor combination. I guess a German/Italian mix would become "Germilian", LOL.

B.,
I love your collection and your taste my friend. Beautiful Friodur...but seriously, the 3rd batch? Jeez Louise man!!!!! I am scared to ask, but how many Fillis are there in one batch? You can open up a museum with the pieces you have, LOL...or feed an entirely hungry 3rd world nation.

Comfortable and relaxing shave.

Otto,
That BA is one gorgeous piece of steel. I bet she shaves like she looks too.

I'm thinking about parting with it, so I felt it should be corrected, so the holes in the scales were introduced as a solution, the balance is much better and I think they look pretty cool too.
Result: I only managed 1 pass before being interupted by missbehaving kids,

Wowww Grant,
She looks marvelous. One could say that this one's a "Holy" razor, LOL. Great job...sorry about kids interrupting your zen shave, but kudos for sticking with it.

Great one Konstantinos. DE/Str8 alternation sounds very logical.

PS: Interesting book you've got there too. So, how did you (or will you) detox your body?

Glenn,
I have to say this again: Fabulous (and creative) restore buddy. Congrats on cutting your honing time by 1/2. That's a major accomplishment. One day, I'll get there too.

Nice razor and congrats on finding the wonderful combination of brush/creme. Sounds heavenly

That's partly because of the wonderful choice of hardware/software used. Well done

Great shave and TI Tom. Looks like Sam and his mother had a great time. great view from the tower

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 24mm Custom Shavemac D01, 2-band Silvertip Badger

Razor: 13/16" Respecto #77, Extra Hollow Ground, Round Point

Honing (touchup) Regimen: Coticule "La Veinette" + Shapton Pro 5k/12k + Y/G Escher

Strop: 0/5 laps (Torolf linen / SRD Premium IV leather)

Überlather: Acqua di Parma "Colonia" Shave Creme + Cella Crema de Barba Shave soap + Glycerin

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

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS

Cologne: Acqua di Parma "Colonia" EdC

Results: Although each of these products is fabulous in of of themselves, the AdP/Cella (light on Cella) produces an amazingly rich überlather . Too much Cella and the AdP scent is muted, too little and you miss it. This was just right. The Respecto was my first ever straight razor and she is one of my best shavers. After refreshing her edge on the Coti/Shapton/Escher progression, I was rewarded with one of the best shaves I could dream of. This beauty can definitely hold her own amongst the best of the best. BBS smooooooth and ready to paint the town red today.

Have a FABULOUS Sunday gentlemen .

There really is something special with that very first straight razor.

RESULTS: FANTASTIC

I got this blade from Justin who said it wasnt fully shave ready but I had a go with it anyway. I definitely got a decent shave with, I think the blade can be pushed farther as expected. Still a great shave with an awesome uberlather. Also got a sample of Le labo Santal 33, this stuff is awesome if u love sandalwood, very true to it and lasts quite a bit on me.
