Thread: Sun July 24th - Sat July 30st

Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Strop: MickR's Kangaroo Hide
Brush: Premium Silvertip Badger in Cocobolo

Razor: John Hassal 6/8 Near Wedge
Astringent: Thayer's Original Witch Hazel
Balm: C.O. Bigelow Mentha
A/S: Wahl Bay Rum
After 3 days without a shave I was feeling a bit like a caveman. The Hassal wedge received 10 laps on the CrOx balsa strop just for the occasion. She did not disappoint. 3 days growth wiped away with 3 passes leaving me smooth as a baby's butt. It doesnt get much better than this.

Hope you all have a great week

Mark, that’s a beautiful razor. And for barber’s use only? Does the barber know that you are using his razor? LOL

You said it. Wedges are great for shaving dense beards. Ice water as a cooling replenisher during a shave? Hmmm… I’ll have to try that.

You deserve a rest on Sunday. If I could have slept in late today, I would have done so as well. BTW…How is the Manantiales De La Toja 1OldGI? Just wondering.
