- Osma Bloc,
- Castle Forbes Essential Lavender Oil Aftershave Balm.

Welcome and excellent first shave with a straight! My first shave looked nothing like that!!! I can only imagine what your 100th shave is going to look like!!!

WD Pure Badger/ Irisch Moos / Ali Biliyki block / Paddle 50/100 / W&B / OBR+S+C / OBR Cologne

Prep: Hot shower, Oil rub.

My self restored W&B never fails to impress. 3 passes tonight with my Irisch Moos, which performed very well, and had a great fragrance. Hit this razor with hot water and she just shines! Nun2sharp did the honing for me, and she's a fine edge, no razor burn, nicks, dragging or skipping. Just smooth. Thanks bro!

Happy Shaving men!!

Mike

Well, about my Guillermo Hoppe, I bought her last Saturday on eBay, and received on Wednesday in this state

Antoni,
No...the Iwasaki is not new. She comes out once in a blue moon, and today (or yesterday) the moon was blue ;-). She's a marvelous shaver

As for your GH...that's a nice score buddy and an even better clean up job. She will serve you well, I am sure

Been wondering where you were. Great to hear you and family are having fun. Thanks for sharing a little of your vacation with us. Great shave too.
