Result: Today's shave was very special. My Dad recently went home to visit my Grandmother and he returned with 3 razors (1 DE, 1 SE, & 1 Straight) that belonged to my Grandpa who passed away in 2002. I just finished the restore yesterday. A very comfortable and meaningful shave today.

My thoughts and prayers are with all on the Eastern Seaboard. Stay safe.

Glad to hear that you are hanging in there and weathered the Storm Jeff. I was thinking about you guys this morning when I was watching the news. Hopefully everyone fairs well and is ok.

Oh well, joke them if they can't take a...well, you know.

it's the 3 "SW" principle. Some Will, Some Won't, So What (get it, I mean)? One day, the same 20 somethings will be coming knocking on your door, asking you to teach them about this wetshaving thingy, LOOL

Great shave Joe and congrats on getting "one of the best edges to date". Hope it gets even better.

Beautiful Wacker EA...I guess this is going to a beautiful Monday for you. Enjoy your day.

Prep: Warm shower
Mug: 20 oz black coffee mug
Soap: Institut Karite
Brush: em's place pure "greys" (can't remember the knot size but it's another with an extra long handle)
Razor: 9/16ths Genco Expert round point (she's seen better day's but she still performs)
Strop: 2inch SRD red latigo with web fabric 40web 60leather
Post: Alum splash

Good start to the week. Didn't quite get the shave I had hoped for, my left hand started cramping up in my second pass. But all in all I'm not going to complain. Except for that one issue it was nice to be clean shaven again.

Hello and good morning to you Robert.

Hey Jamie,
Amen brother...Who can blame you for loving that scent? Q: Which Sandalwood does TOBS use (Australian or Indian)?

Well i'm not to sure about this one, but given the close and long relationship between India and the UK, I would imagine they would be using Indian Sandalwood, but I may be wrong?

Regards Jamie.
