    Default Tuesday

    Pre-Shave: A cold shower after a 3 hour bike ride.
    Brush: Simpson Polo 12, 2-band Super Badger
    Razor: Robert Williams Custom, 8/8" Spanish point in Mother of Pearl scales
    Strop: Neil Miller Custom Cordovan Shell/Genuine linen strop
    Soap/Cream: Truefitt&Hill 1805 Shaving Cream
    Scuttle:Schwarzweisskeramik, Large White
    Astringent: Alum
    After shave Balm: Truefitt&Hill 1805
    EdT: Truefitt&Hill 1805
    Results: A fine half hour in the shave den. I'm so impressed with RW's work, and this piece is no exception. A brilliant shaver. The big Simpson is a true performer as well. Cream or soap, it treats both with the same ease, generating mounds of wonderful lather

    Default An oldy but goody..




    Today's SOTD gave a very nice result, enjoyed it so much I did four passes instead of three.
    Decided to touch the old girl up on the Charnley and strop on some newspaper till she was popping hairs like a poacher with an Uzi

    Enjoy the rest of the week folks.

    You are right my friends.
    I didn't feed the Livi to The Shark. :-) I must have been tired this morning.
    It is corrected now.

    Well red is the colour of passion and love, and Robert my heart's a fluttering looking at that red vixen of a razor you have as your shave of the day, she's so hot she's smoking!

    SOAP: Penhaligan's English Fern
    ASTRINGENT: Thayers Unscented
    ASB: Bluebeards revenge Post shave Balm

    RESULTS: EXCELLENT !!!
    Nice smooth shave today, Just another WTG and XTG, and I am ready for today. The English Fern is really growing on me, and I am dialing in the sweet spot on her. I was rewarded with Amazing lather , and smooth skin afterward, along with the Stasharp, I am never disappointed. A great refreshing shave
    GREAT SHAVES GUYS!!!!
    ROBERT, I ordered 2 of the Razorock Limited Edition soaps, so it sounds from your review I wont be dissapointed

    Default Tuesday the 26th

    July 26 SOTD
    Prep: hot shower and lingering lather
    Brush: Rooney Silvertip
    Soap: Fitjar Såpekokeri Fjellheim
    Razor: Geo. Wostenholm & Son “The Conqueror”
    Post: Witch Hazel



    A nice morning and a relaxing two pass shave. The Conqueror was a little harsh and could probably use a fine touch on the hones; my inexperience affords me ample opportunity to retouch minor errors and learning experiences on the hones have been ample to say the least.
    Now all I need is coffee... there appears to be none in the house.
    Have good day gentlemen, great shaves and pictures thus far!
