Thread: Sun July 10th - Sat July 17th

Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Strop: Illinois 835
Brush: Comoy Badger
Soap: Proraso
Razor: Bengall 11/16 (Sawn Off)
Astringent: Thayer's Cucumber Witch Hazel
Balm: C.O. Bigelow Mentha
Although this Bengall has been shortened, Its performance is always top notch. A fantastic 3 pass BBS is a great way to relax on a Sunday evening.
I didn't even use any aftershave tonight, I enjoy the menthol sensation of the balm so much that I finished there.
In tonights photo is a carving set of my father's that I finally finished working on. After over 40 years of service the handles were trashed, so I replaced them with Red Cedar Burl. Cut from the same piece of wood as the scales on the Bengall.
He better look after them!!!

Thanks for all the great posts and pics Gentlemen.

Prep: Hot shower and Proraso for head
Brush: Polo 8
Razors: Wade and Butcher + Old type DE for head
Superlather: Nannys Eucalyptus + Top Secret
AS: Old Spice, Fresh Lime
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
Wonderful blade this W&B, scales where so dry (almost cracked dry) when I found her (blade was in very good nick w almost no hone wear though), but Neil managed to save and improve them way more that I thought was possible. Both face and dome´s clean and soft as a Catfish belly today

Thanks for the sentiment, Bjornar (and for the tub of DC)! Sadly, this isn't holiday--I am going to a two week school for the Army Reserves.

The patina on that blade is great, it shows of its age like a badge of honour.

Beautiful work and a great picture.

Sunday

Kukri 5/8 - Professor Blighty's Black & White Cream - NF2213 - Alum - Jovan Musk


Nice relaxing shave, I find the cream has a pretty narrow sweet spot but once found its great and smells fantastic.
