No Shave Today
Attachment 73044
Pre-Shave: Coffee & Shave Secret Oil Brush: Omega Pure Badger Razor: Newly restored Goldedge Strop: 30 lashes on my SRD Red Latigo Uberlather: My First! Beau Brummel + TOBS Eaton College + 5 drops Glycerin Astringent none After Shave Splash: Pinnaud Clubman Cologne: Burt's Bees Bay Rum Results: My sense of smell has been iffy lately. I had NO sense of smell for a year and a half due to nasal polyps. Today I can barely smell the Clubman (which is kind of my litmus test!). Rather than waste my sample of Castle & Forbes from Mvcrash I decided to make an uberlather. Beau Brummell is pretty strong stuff and I could smell it a bit. I just won this razor on ebay last week for $56! I cleaned her up, sanded the blade and honed it up. I can tell she's from the same family as my Otto Deutsch "Hans." What a great shaver. Nearly BBS after 1 pass:angel:
