Thread: Sun August 21st - Sat August 27th

Prep: Cold water splash
Brush: Semogue boar
Cream: Taylor Sandalwood
Razor: Wacker Wedge

Spent the better part of the afternoon with fellow member [B]pinklather[B] he was actually doing a sourdough tutorial for my sister. Got to touch up a couple of my razors on his Nani 12k. Checked out a bunch of razors he was working on and brought out a couple strops for him to check out (Ruprazor Paladin, Walking horse English bridal with canvas second and last but not least, my own Black Betty homemade black latigo strop I made this last weekend). Talked about getting up to the Spokane meet and then took the Wacker wedge for a test drive. Rob-pinklather brought out the Wacker since I had mentioned that was the only grind I haven't tried yet. My prep could have been a bit better but I was really inpressed with the way the blade handled.... something else added to my wish list. Anyway. Great day spent with a great kid (my sister) and a great guy (pinklather).

Shave on,
Michael

Good Morning, great posts again yesterday, you all have some beautiful Razors, every one a winner!

The Custom ERN was star of the show, he gave a 70% of the shave, but there was a small cameo role at the end for Feather AS-D1, life is good and i'm feeling fine.
