Amen to that... Revisor (Wowzers!), Al's Bomb and Opus 1870. What more could a shaver ask for?

You must be smelling pretty classy too. One of my former students says that Prada has a really nice fragrance. I just got some for my birthday.

It is a privilege to be able to post here with you fine gentlemen,have a super Saturday

And its a privilege to view your posts Jim. You have a super Saturday as well.
From the appearance of your shaving kit, it appears that you are well on your way to doing so.

Prep: Hot Water Wash, Baby Oil Gel
Razor: Imperial Extra Hollow Ground
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap: Ogalllala Bay Rum Sage and Cedar
AS: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Finish: Ogallala Bay Rum Sage and Cedar Splash, Firehouse Wacky Tacky

The edge on this razor was getting a bit muddy but that was quickly resolved by a couple hundred laps on horsehide. The edge was nice and overall it was a wonderful shave. I believe that the Lime and Peppercorns soap/splash will be in my next gear requisition. The sage and cedar is kind of a Fall/Winter thing. Still very nice in the warmer months but I think Lime and Peppercorns would probably be a bit better in warmer weather.

PREP: Hot shower with face scrub
RAZOR: EJ
BRUSH: PJ3
SOAP: MDC
ASTRINGENT: Thayers Unscented
ASB: Skinfood
EDT: Dr.Harris Arlington
RESULTS: 3 Passes to Clean

PS: Shave Secret Oil
Blade: Boker Edelweiss
Brush: Omega Pure Badger
Soap: Momma Bear's Beau Brummel
AS: Alum Block followed by Burts Bees Bay Rum Aftershave
Cologne: Bath House Spanish Fig & Nutmeg

Results:
This blade was one of my early honing attempts and I remembered it shaving me very well. However, now that I've been introduced to Otto Deutsch's Hans and Bismarck Red, I think my standards have changed a bit. I had a few nicks and raw patches that needed attention from the Alum Block. Still I got a smooth shave.

This was my first use of Beau Brummel. The aroma is strong with tobacco and spices. The scent stayed on my face for quite awhile. I appreciate strong fragrance so I liked this soap. I can guess that its not good for everyone though.

It´s a nice scent for sure, right up there with any of my high end scents, all three of them (Prada included) . Seriously, it´s a real competent AS and with lovely scent. Of course it doesn´t hold very long being a AS, but you can get in an edt too, pricey stuff though.

Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Omega boar # 81052
Soap: Mitchell's wool fat
Razor: Faugier Annonay, 6/8 round point hollow ground
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: English leather, house blend
Notes: Today's shave was over too fast. I received this razor in the mail yesterday and immediately started working on it. Never heard of the brand, but it shaves like a dream. I put a jnat edge on it and stropped it good, it is such a smooth shaver.



Looks like there is a gob of brown goo on the blade, it is from the photo editing filter

Have a great evening guys!

Don't know why but this razor fits me quite well. It must be half or close on its way to needing a hone, something which I still cannot spot or feel readily yet; however the advantage for me is that since it is not lethally sharp as some other edges I own, I can now do my chin 97% with one pass plus safer work on the moustache area... My honemeisters are doing a great job but I think I'm not ready yet for 'super sharp' type of edges.

Nice, confident and fast shave overall.
