Lovely razor that one

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: Simpson Chubby 1

Razor: Revisor 6/8

Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/English bridle

Soap/Cream: Mitchell's Wool Fat

Astrigent: Alum block

After shave: Sir Irisch Moos

Results: Wife and kids left the house for a couple hours, so I decided take advantage of it and took a looong hot shower, and a slow 3 pass shave. MWF selldom fails for me, neither did it this time. The wonderful lather gave the Revisor perfect working conditions and resulted in what probably was my BEST SHAVE EVER!

Have a great weekend guys!

DD Special No 1 Back to the hones with her

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 22mm New Forest Silvertip Badger

Razor: 6/8" Hanamasa "Azuma" Kamisori, Yasuki Steel

Strop: 15/35/45 (Neil Miller Linen / Imperial Horsehide leather / Imperial Cordovan leather)

Überlather: RazoRock "Cacao" Shave Creme + Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap + Glycerin

Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Ralph Lauren "Safari" AS

Cologne: Ralph Lauren "Safari" EdT

Results: Every time I bring my Kamisoris out, it freaks my wife out...she thinks I'm ready to partake in the "Seppuku" ritual . Despite this blade's 6/8" size and simplistic yet beautiful design, she is extremely compact in form without compromising function. She also packs one of the most wicked and unforgiving tips I have ever seen on a razor. The combination of the RazoRock and MWF was an interesting experiment to say the least, leading to a phenomenal and scented überlather whose characteristics are going to be very tough to beat (even by MdC standards). An extraordinarily clean and CBS feel. I am ready to host today's meetup between a few of our fellow wetshavers.

Have a AMAZING Saturday gentlemen.

It came in a 7d set-there were 3 of them, 3 HMiC (from New Haven) and a junker.

My bad...beautiful WW nonetheless. Nice find

What a shave Sten. Fantastic razor and software

Congrats Rene...So, how do you like the look and feel of the Pegasus?

Prep: Hot Water Wash
Razor: Imperial Extra Hollow Ground
Brush: Semogue 1305
Cream: TOBS Eton College
AS: British Sterling

Pretty bare bones Saturday shave but man it was nice, the edge on the razor was in absolutely fantastic shape and my typical two pass shave rendered CBS results. You know, I really dig Eton College, in fact I think I would do just fine with my entire soap/cream rotation consisting of Mitchell's Wool Fat and Eton College. But there's so much out there to try I don't think I'd be comfortable doing that quite yet.

Excellent use of white color in your photo my friend! Very Nice Rune!

The Hanamasa "Azuma" Kamisori, looks amazing Robert, the simplistic design is something that's taken the Japanese more than a thousand years to perfect, we in the western world sometimes forget that less is more. It's not what you put in but what you leave out that's important.

I'm with you on that. I love the Eaton College too.
