Strop: Illinois 835
Brush: 24mm Premium A Silvertip in Custom Cocobolo
Soap: MWF
Razor: Wade & Butcher For Barber's Only
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel
Balm: Nivea Replenishing
A/S: David Craig Bay Rum
Result: The Wade & Butcher effortlessly wiped away the 2 day growth and left me with a fantastic BBS and Blah Blah Blah...The W&B is an awesome razor, it always gives me a great shave.
The real highlight of tonights shave was the brush. It arrived totally out of the blue today and was a gift from Glenn (aka Sharp). It was superb. Great backbone, and beautifully soft. The handle is about 10mm longer than my Frank's brush and is exactly the length I've been thinking about.
Glenn turned the handle himself and gave it a CA finish. Its beautiful.
He also sent some samples of other soaps, creams etc which I will be trying over coming days.
A great shave made possible by our very generous friend Glenn. Thank you.
To use Aussie slang: Glenn your a bloody champion mate.
