Good evening Gentlemen!
Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Haryali badger
Soap: Van der Hagen
Scuttle: Robert Becker large
Razor: Quick Cutter, 5/8 hollow square point
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: English Leather
Notes: I was going to überlather, but my shave-fu was strong today. There was enormous amounts of lather from the VdH alone, it just felt pointless to add more. The english leather more than compensated for the lack of elegant fragrances during my shave, and I was rewarded with a comfortable BBS mug. Great shave.

Good job guys! Sorry I havent been around for a few days , work has been very busy but now I get to enjoy 4 days off. Anyway on to todays shave. The Tosuke is a beast and u need to pay attention to her. But she rewarded me with a trip to BBS town. Also it has been hot and Humid here in Los Angeles so I broke out the CF limes and Iced Lime AS. What a glorious scent and true performers. My skin is silky smooth. Also the CC Vetyver cologne is perfect for the summer, very green and has a licorice note that I love.

DFS today! I tried using almost boiling H2O in the scuttle and the lather EXPLODED! :idea: I think I have hit on something here for this mix. One small weeper while I was changing music on the Iphone...:fim: Something about the mix of Sea Buckhorn and Wild Fern is just intoxicating to me. I highly recommend it!!! Great shaves from all and I hope everyone is well!!!!
