Week of July 10 SOTD - Saturday
Pre-Shave: Hot shower |
Brush: 24mm Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger |
Razor: 7/8" H. Böker "Finest Silver Steel", Extra Hollow Ground, Round Point |
Honing (refresh) Regimen: Refreshed on CrOx Premium IV leather (10 very light laps) |
Strop: 0/65 laps (Neil Miller linen / Ambrose Horse Hide Clásico leather) |
Überlather: Martin de Candre Shave Soap |
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol) |
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer |
After Shave Splash: Floid Italian Blue |
After Shave oil: Martin de Candre Oil of Copra |
Cologne: Martin de Candre "Vetyver" EdT |
Results: I recently got some ~99%+ pure CrOx powder (average particle size = 0.3µ) from Kremer Pigments (see here) and rubbed a little onto my premium IV leather strop. As I rubbed the powder with my fingers (with gloves, of course), the fine particles penetrated the "sanded" leather uniformly and evenly. I took the Böker for a quick 10 light laps around this green lawn followed by 65 laps on the Clásico horse hide. The result was unbelievably fantastic :y. The edge on this beauty was so crisp and smooth, it would cut butter just by looking at it. HHT was effortless and so was the shave http://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/...ys/001_wub.gif . The MdC was a delight to use and the lather it produced was filled with wholesome goodnesshttp://www.foroafeitado.com/foro/ima...ies/banana.gif. |
