Coupled with the MdC soap, this dynamic duo performed one heck of a disappearing magic act on that pesky 1 day growth . Poooof!! All gone. Simple, effective, and clean. just the way I like it. The MdC copra oil and Eau de Vétyver were the icing on the cake for today's shave . AAhhhhhhh...Ready to tackle the day.

******************************


Gentlemen: Have a WONDERFUL Thursday

Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Omega boar # 81052
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Razor: Wade & Butcher, 5/8 wedge french point with cocobolo scales
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: Lavender spice, house blend
Notes: This was my very first wedge, and still serve as a mental benchmark for all straight razors. The first time I used it, it was so smooth I did not think it was cutting the beard - I had to check the blade for stubble. I just rehoned it and it wasn't quite as smooth as that today, but still a lovely shave.



Have a lovely midsummer's night everybody!

Yet another amazing shave of the day by Robert, this Man does not know the meaning of the word ordinary

Regards
Jamie.

Razor: 19th century Courtade 'La Cigogne', France 7/8 near wedge

Good Luck Grant and nice pic! P.S. Don't break a blade, break a mach III!

Robert do you own every cool raxor???
I own the same just Number 217 Interesting how the scales have a darker color on mine... One of the things I like about it so much is that each piece is different!!
No shave for me today as I'm working on scales. My MDC came in today and I'm excited to try it Fri!
