    Today is my 26th wedding anniversary! Time flies when you're having fun!

    Prep: Relaxing Shower
    Pre-Shave: Proraso
    Brush: AOS Best Badger
    Lather: Proraso, AOS cream unscented.
    Razor: Peter J Michels "Square Deal" 11/16" square point.
    Post: Proraso/ Jack Black ASB
    Result: The Real Deal (lol did'nt see that one coming...)

    Just got done off the hones, this razor honed up after having to use a rolling x stroke, it was worth the effort, DFS.


    Great bunch of shaves all week. Haven't yet figured out who I am more jealous of. Either Robert, Mikael, or Birnando. You guys definitely have my admiration of all the fine razors you have. Hard to be envious of such a great bunch tho...

    Thanks! So is the Lavender like O&C by C&S? Or anything like the Castle Forbes Lavender products? I think the Vetyver sounds appealing though. I don't like very spicy vetiver scents, but if this is as traditional as they make it to be, might be worth a shot. Likewise for the Copra Oil!

    Hot shower
    Dirty Bird Scuttle
    AOS Lavender Shave cream
    New Forest Badger
    Beau Brummel full hollow
    AOS Aluminum
    Pinaud Special
    Vaseline for men.

    Received this razor from Robert Williams today. I just opened it up, dipped it in barbicide for a while and then shaved. Nice smooth shave.
    All I have to say is my razor photography sucks.

    Enjoy the evening.

    This shave is from sundays shave. Crown and sword. I have 2 of these and one wash honed by a honmeister and this by me. Both do NOT give that great of a shave. IS it me or has someone out there been able to get a smooth edge on these Crown & Swords?

    Todays shave was provided by Bill. He was kind enough to hone 3 razors for. A blind shave test for myself. 3 Different methods. Genco army/navy and a Genco gold seal jr. Both delievered an outstanding shave. The gold seal is smoother and the army navy was smooth very sharp but had an ever so slight irritation or maybe a crispness from it being so sharp. Neither of them being a downside.

    SRP Strop
    TGN 26MM
    Eucris + TOBS St James
    Genco Army/Navy & Genco Gold seal Jr
    WH
    Skin Food
    The Bomb ASB

    Awesome job Guys.
