No shave for me today. Giving my ugly mug a rest for the day

Now, question is: Which one I will look like after today ? (either choice doesn't look all that appealing)

Pre-Shave: A warm shower after a 2 hour bike ride

Brush: Rooney's Finest 25mm

Razor: Buddel 8/8 French point. Damascus, Ebony scales, Ivory wedge.

Strop: Kanayama #90000 tri-strop.

Soap/Cream:Penhaligon's Endymion Shaving Cream

Scuttle:Schwarzweisskeramik, Large, White

Astringent: Alum

After shave Balm: Penhaligon's Endymion

EdT: Penhaligon's Endymion

Results: A very fine shave today. The Buddel razor is very well made, and came with a killer edge. Penhaligon's Endymion is a great line of products, I love the quality and the scent.

Thanks. Its fun to shave whit no luxory, only cold wather soap,a terrible brush ,and nice razor.

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

Friday is the main day off in my part of the world, so nice slow start to the day.

Pre Shave Prep, Got out of bed.
Strop, SRD 40 laps on Webbing, 80 on leather.
Soap, Cella Crema Sapone (I keep it in the porcelain pot)

Great shave, Great start to the day. Hope you enjoyed yours.

I have a bit of honeing to get done so i want to test shave a couple. 6/8 Manaslu and a
13/16+ Blue steel. I used the Jnat Bill lent me and did the progressions he mentioned to me. They both performed beautifully. Buttery smooth edge. I also recieved my La Toja Soap. Oh boy this stuff is great. I love the scent and performance. Have a great friday guys.
