Thread: Sun August 21st - Sat August 27th

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 24mm Thäter Silvertip Badger (Olive wood handles)

Maxterpiece: 6/8" C.V. Heljestrand #32, 1/2 Hollow Ground, French Point (w/ Butterscotch Micarta Scales)

Honing Regimen: Chosera 5k, 10k followed by Maruichi Nakayama Asagi (w/ Tomonagura slurry, ending with water only)

Strop: 0/0/0 (Neil Miller Linen / Imperial Horsehide leather / Imperial Cordovan leather)

Überlather: CarrieM "Lilac" Shave Creme + Trumper's "Rose" Shave Soap + Glycerin

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

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS

Cologne: Penhaligon "Quercus" EdT

Results: Early shave for me today (we we are hosting a "business" lunch today)...After taking the Helje for a refresh around the stones last night, she delivered an incredible shave today. But that should come as no surprise to anyone who has experienced a Swedish edge. For lather, I decided to go with a little CarrieM Lilac and a dash of Trumper's Rose. The Thäter whipped up a heck of über out of this mix, resulting in a thick and moist lather, with a wonderfully soothing floral aroma.

Have a GRAND Saturday gentlemen .
