Jamie.

I very rarely shave everyday, I have always had a good growth, but I like giving my skin that day off, so today was unusual given that I shaved yesterday, now onto the shave, well there's no surprise with this setup, you can almost guarantee a BBS shave. Until we meet again good day to you all gentlemen.

Jamie.

I needed to give this razor a second chance today.
I was not fully enjoying it yesterday, due to the events here in Oslo.

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: Rooney's Finest, 25mm

Razor:Puma #90, 5/8

Strop: Neil Miller Custom Shell Cordovan.

Soap/Cream: Floris Elite Shaving Soap

Scuttle:Schwarzweisskeramik, Large White

Astringent: Alum

After shave Balm: Floris Elite ASB

EdT: Floris Elite Eau de Cologne

Results: This new Puma was a pleasure to use. I have a few Puma's and they are all very fine razors with good steel. The Floris products are IMO very good, fully on par with the other traditional English houses. In fact, I'd go so far as to say even better than most of them

Have a Great Day!

PRE: Semi hot shower (don't want to over do it its only 11 and already feeling 90 something)
SOAP: My own Red Clover Tea whipped to a Uber lather with glycerin and coconut oil
BRUSH: Rooney
STEEL: started with a W&B ouch needs more work with the stones then followed Max's lead and got the save and the win with the DD
FINISH: A nice splash of Musgo.
All told a DFS the DD always leaves the face smooth and feeling great.

Well its pretty darn hot and humid so I think working on the W&B will keep me cool and out of trouble. At least I'll be in the AC.
My heart felt sympathies to our Norwegian members and the people of Norway.
Have a good day keep the great pictures coming
My best to all
