Today's shave was the one I enjoy most all week. The lazy Sunday morning shave. Kids still sleeping, wife enjoying the breakfast I picked up for her and the house quiet.

Warm Shower
Warm Oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
Custom Badger Brush
Cade by L'occitane Shave Cream
Carl Monkhouse, 5/8, Full hollow, restored and honed by Max
AOS Aluminum
Pinaud Bay Rum
Vaseline for men.

I really love the look and feel of this razor. As can be expected, since it was honed by Max, the shave is wonderful. The aroma of the Cade also was perfect for this morning.

Enjoy the day.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Martinez' Custom: Chess King w/ 26mm silver tip badger
Soap: Mama Bear's Ye Olde Barbershoppe
Strop: Tony Miller Heirloom tri-strop (3x25)
Razor: Bob Allman custom 10/8 w/ water buffalo horn scales
ASB: Caswell-Massey No. Six
soundtrack: Anne-Sophie Mutter: Beethoven

Comfortable and relaxing shave.

Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Strop: Illinois 835
Brush: Frank's Shaving Fine Badger
Soap: Tabac
Razor: Simmon's Barbers Pet 5/8
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel
Balm: Van Heusen
The Barber's Pet has just come back into the rotation after some time in the workshop and a hone.
The blade/scale balance has never quite been right with this one. 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, but it was a damn fine pass. I'm happy.
should have known better than to try shaving before the kids were in bed.
Have a great week gentleman
