Sunday Dome and Face Shave
Prep: Hot Water Wash, Baby Oil Gel
Dome Razor: 1908 Gillette Single Ring
Face Razor: Lecran Cutlery Extra Hollow Ground
Brush: Semogue 1305
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
AS: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Finish: English Leather Cologne, Firehouse Wacky Tacky
There are shaves that could have went much better, shaves that are great and then there are shaves that are absolute epic productions. This shave would be the latter, it was just an incredibly relaxing, no hurry bit of all over manscaping. Three passes on the dome and three on the face, both are CBS as we speak. No hurry at all just kind of relaxing, playing with my toys and listening to some tunes. Doesn't get any better.
Tunes:

Where: Rocky Mtn, base of the foothills
When: Early afternoon, after all the chores have been done
Razor: W&B Celebrated Xtra Hollow Ground 6/8" Dog Bone Custom (Thanks Don!)
Soap: Omega (made a nice extra thin, cold water lather today)
Strop: Home made paddle strop (50 wool, 100 leather)
ASB: None
AS: OBR+Sage+Cedar
Prep: Cool Shower, lots of OBR Soap and lather, some hair conditioner and lots of oil rub.
My first shave with this beauty, as well as my first cold water shave. We had to work hard in the heat this morning, since I was up so late last night that I didn't get up in time to beat the heat. So, afterwards I took a really cool shower, followed by my first cold water shave.
It actually went very well. I stuck with a lot of oil and really wet lather and had a wonderful shave! My new baby hit the mark right on the head. I can't thank Don enough for letting her go. She shaves like a dream, no drag and honey smooth. Even with a cold water shave.
I am a very happy guy this morning! Again, no styptic, no razor burn or abrasions, no nicks or cuts. I believe my technique is actually improving! I'm doing something right, at least my face thinks so!!
Happy shaving, and have a great Sunday!!
Mike

Sunday Night
Hermes in Walnut scales - GFT Sandalwood - NF2213 - Alum - Jovan Musk
My 1st attempt at scales making. Alas it photographs better than it performs, the blade touches the side so they will be replaced, the cause was an error with a sanding belt. I've ordered some nice looking acrylic to use instead but next time I'll just be a little more careful while thicknessing.
The shave, well that was good
Regards
Nic

Sandalwood overload end of day shave!
TOBS Sandalwood Cream/SRD Sandalwood Soap/Glycerin-JA Henckels 70 1/2-TOBS Sandalwood Balm-TOBS Sandalwood AS
Awesome day today out shooting with Mrs Str8Shooter and Lil Gal Str8Shooter. After cleaning weapons and then finishing the scales for the Twin W&B wedge's I'm working on for Nervin and myself(shh I want it to be a secret when he is healed up from surgery) I decided to go into an earthy sandalwood coma! Great shave off the ol' 70 1/2. Looks like y'all had a great sun also. Grant you remain in my family's prayers.
Nite all I have an early work day in the morning.
Almost forgot to thank Jacketch for planting the sandalwood bug back on me!!!
