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

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.

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!

Thanked: 17Tuesday 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!
