    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.

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

    I love this razor, Now that I can shave with a square point and not get sliced up. Always a nice shave. The Old spice stings a bit today, I think i had my last two shaves a little to close together. I had to include the creature. I have my first gig with my new band tonight. He has been on stage taped to my bass since day one.
    Great shaves guys, and one of these days I will have a nice picture.

    Wonderful all the way around. Great lather, excellent old razor when treated with respect. Angles matter most on the smaller 4/8's but they shave every bit as well if you get it right. The wedges are always a little smoother IMO. It was an early aquisition, probably too early. It shaved well, but my technique was not in line. Now the smaller ones are giving me a much better shave, with less irritation, etc.

    Happy Shaving!
