I have no fear using this old razor as my Tetanus is up to date.
Great shaves today, Gentlemen

Good evening Gentlemen
Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Omega boar brush
Soap: Sensational Indulgences juniper sage
Razor: Otto Busch Weltmeister
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: Oriental spice
Notes: I believe this is my most hollow blade. Perhaps for that reason, I don't use it very often, and this is the first time I've consciously evaluated my shave with it. Before I started posting to SOTD I never thought about twice about my shaves - things either worked or it didn't. It is clear to me now: I like this blade, a lot. A nice, relaxing, comfortable BBS.
Have fun guys.

I do need to acquire one of those nice old C-mons... Originally Posted by thewatermark

No pic as my post shave "treatment" is occupying my attention...
Prep: Hectic grocery store trip ending in a the "t-bones are freezer burnt and we need a fresh protein" call
Then dinner followed by a hot shower.
Soap: Fitjar lighthouse bay rum (I really like this Fitjar soap and should try the other scent that is in the box waiting)
Brush: Rooney Badger
Razor: Dovo C-Mon Blackie
Post shave: Witch hazel, Highland Park 1998 and perusing the SOTD
Result: a decent touch up shave with a razor that probably could use a trip to the hones (when they arrive and I learn to use them) as the shave was a bit harsh compared to Sundays shave with the Blackstar. Oh well I'll just have to suck it up and continue with the post shave relaxation
Cheers gents
Have a good evening.Last edited by Maximilian; 06-21-2011 at 06:01 AM.
