Good evening Gentlemen. Here's my tuesday evening shave:
Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Frank Shaving finest badger
Soap: Proraso Green Tea
Scuttle: Robert Becker large
Razor: Biedermeyer, 4/8 hollow
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: Provence home made splash
Notes: I love this razor. I bought it at a stand at this last
4th of July celebration, wife was a little surprised as I pulled it out but I defended myself with "It crawled into my hands, honest!" (does anyone in the world remember that 1968 record besides me?) Nice slow 3-pass BBS. The splash was a first for me, just mixed it up today after maturing it for 5 weeks. A dry and herbaceous late summer/fall fragrance, cedarwood base with lavender and a veritable infusion of herbs - oregano, basil, rosemary and thyme - and a touch of lemon right on top.
Midweek tomorrow, time sure flies. As is evident in this very thread, great posts keep pouring in. Keep it up guys, seeing them all makes my day feel a little better

This was my 2nd shave with one of my newly rescaled Bengall blades. Its a near wedge and I am still in need of honing practice with those. I'll give her a few more passes on the coticule before the next shave.
I'll say a prayer for your friend Rene. Very sorry for that bad news.
Great looking razor. Congrats. Originally Posted by sharp

Strop:SRD PIV English Bridle
Cream: FMV custom Bomb
Razor: Maxstum 8/8 french point, ¼ hollow
After shave: FMV custom
EDT: Cartier “Roadster”
Result: The Maxstum arrived in the mail yesterday and I was so excited. I had expected it on Saturday, but the post office had a “glitch”. I only needed 2 passes to wipe away the 2 days of growth and let me tell you that this was one of the best shaves I've ever had. Thanks Max!
