Cattaraugus Cutlery 5/8
Golden Nib Finest
Lavanda s/c
Thayers Cucumber WH w/ aloe
Speick a/s
Speick a/s balsam
Acqua di Selva cologne
I have tried the Lavanda twice since I bought it and both times I have had difficulty building a decent lather. I put more on the brush after my initial attempt was getting me nowhere and even then all I got was a small amount of passable lather. I am very disappointed as it is not cheap and it will likely go on the list for the inevitable den reduction sale that looms in my future. Otherwise, the Cattaraugus Cutlery blade gave me a very good shave as do most New York and Pennsylvania blades. It gives me great pleasure knowing that these vintage blades were made 60 to 75 miles away from here.

Pre-Shave: Hot Shower Brush: Omega Pure Badger Razor:Bengall near wedge with horn scales Strop: SRD Linen and Red Latigo Creme: UBERLATHER of MWF/TOBS Sandalwood/6 drops of Glycerine Astringent Alum Bloc After Shave: Nivea Cologne: Trumpers Spanish Leather Results: I spent several hours sanding the rust and grime off the blade of this ebay purchase. The blade isn't pretty but I got a nice, sharp edge on my Nortons last night. I got a BBS shave with no irritation after 3 passes. I wouldn't say she's perfect, but its my best effort yet with a wedge. I always assumed my beard would like wedges, but I think the more hollow the blade, the happier my skin it seems.

Cool Shower tonight with Stephan's Rubbed into my beard
Warm Oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
Nancy Boy Cucumber SC/Glycerine
New Forest Badger
Robert Williams 1/4 hollow Damascus in Ivory
SRD P1 Strop 100 laps
AOS Aluminum
Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum
Vaseline for men
For the second time in as many nights, I used this razor. The shave was impeccable. The Nancy Boy Cucumber provides a nice aroma while shaving and the Bay Rum always is nice. I never post the Vaseline for men but I have to say I end every shave and shower with the stuff. My skin just absorbs it quickly and it leaves a soothing feeling. I highly recommend it for the "finisher."
Enjoy the evening.

DFS today. sorry I was late with the post but running around all day with life stuff! I'm still needing some more use with the Acca Kappa to see how I like it but the scent was different. Mossy addition to the La Toja."We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."

I love this Heljestrand Frank. Max did wonders with her
Did you get strange looks, LOOOL? At least it was with a DE. I wonder what reaction you'd elicit pulling out a straight razor?
I would hate to see what you would name it if he was a bull dog/shih tzu mix (Bull Shit maybe, LOOOOOL)?
Congrats Rene...She finally worked her charm on you, eh? You're just powerless against women, LOOOL. I think you made the right choice buddy.
Rene,
She's a beauty. If I recall, you got this Fromm from the same guy I got my Klopp. She beat your Fili????...Holy Cr*p. This has to be a first. I didn't think anything would beat a Fili.
I wouldn't even venture to guess what your shave den smelled like, LOOOOOOL?
Mike,
What a treat. Congratulations buddy. use her in good healthLast edited by BladeRunner001; 07-20-2011 at 03:26 AM.

Thank you Robert. Yes i could not resist the Fromm red head! Bull shit is a good name. Appropriate for some of the stuff i have to put up with.
Yes this was bought from the same guy on ebay. So glad they were not his size of choice.
I have to say it has been a VERY long time since 2 passes left nothing to touch up. Usually i have a little under the chin and jaw line. Ahhhhh!!!!!! Such a great feeling!
Oh yes the bathroom smelled like Farts. Monkey farts that is. Gassy little buggers!Last edited by nicknbleeding; 07-20-2011 at 03:17 AM.
