I quit a long, long time ago. 25 years later I continue to remember how difficult it was. Hang in there, it gets better. God Speed.

Razor: 8/8 ¼ hollow French point Maxtom
After shave: Al's Shaving Jubilee ASB
EDT: NOIR

Result:I've had a habit lately of not shaving for a few days on the weekend and then having a luxurious shave to take off the multi-day growth. The tool for the job was the Maxtom. This was only my second shave with her and let me tell you, I LOVE THIS RAZOR! The Jubilee cream from Al is new and it has an amazing scent and the kind of performance that only the “bomb” can deliver. All and all, a spectacular shave!

I do the same thing on long weekends. Give the skin a chance to recover. Anyway, gorgeous razor.

Result: A change of pace. Because I'm taking a friend to the airport very early, I had a nighttime shave. The software was absolutely top shelf and the hardware can't get any better. They combined to provide me with one of the best BBS shaves I've experienced so far. This is precisely why I started with straights 16 months ago!

Gorgeous razor. I find it relaxing to shave in the evening.

Technical Monday Shave
Prep: Hot Shower
Razor: Boker Red Injun 102
Brush: Omega Boar
Cream: C.O. Bigelow
AS: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Finish: English Leather Cologne

Don't know if it was 3 straight days of 3 pass shaves or maybe I didn't rinse the alum off my face very well yesterday but my face was a bit irritated today. In either case, it was good to get back to my standard two pass shave. Thunderstorms and steady rain this morning, would have been a fine one to lay in bed until about noon.


PS: Hard storms blowing through, not fit weather for man nor beast outside but alas, I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go

A/S: Honeybee Garden Bay Rum (Sample from Oz)
This pic is from my trip back from the Sydney get-together on the weekend. Its a 6 hour drive home and almost the whole trip consists of scenery like this. I enjoyed every minute of it.
Tonight was a low budget Uber but still a good one. 3 passes and I'm smooth as a catfish's belly, and feeling fresh.

Thanks for all the awesome posts and pics fellas, keep 'em coming.

Result:I've convinced a co-worker to try straight razors. I did this restoration over the weekend and got her all honed up for him(1k/4k/8k Norton, Shoobi-Doobi Asagi, Nakayama Maruka Kita, Y/G Escher). This was my only shave with her as she is headed to her new home today. 2 passes and very smooth and I think the new owner will be very pleased.

'Historic' TI 5/8 extra hollow with rosewood scales, a real 'go-to' razor for me.
