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.

Sunday morning
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

Thanked: 1072Location: Coffs Harbour AustraliaHope you all have a great week
Strop: MickR's Kangaroo Hide
Brush: Premium Silvertip Badger in Cocobolo
Soap: MDC (Thank you Glenn)
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.
Thanks for all the great posts and pics fellas
