Thread: Sun September 11th - Sat September 17th

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 24mm Thäter Silvertip Badger

Razor: 11/16" F.W. Engels "Perfect Temper", Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point

Honing (touch up) Regimen: Naniwa Chosera 8k/10k + Maruichi Nakayama Kiita/Asagi Hybrid w/ tomonagura progression

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

Überlather: L'Occitane "Cade" Shave Creme + L'Occitane "Cade" Shave Soap + Glycerin

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

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-Free Moisturizer

After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS

After Shave Balm: L'Occitane "Cade" ASB

Cologne: L'Occitane "Vetyver" EdT

Results: Today was an Engels/Thäter/Cade kinda day. The Engels was refreshed on the stones last night and as one would expect, performed marvelously. I really like the edges of my hybrid JNat, which gets me a smoother edge than my "pure" Asagi. Of course, now since I have a 5-7 weeks wait time (Yiiiiikes!! ) for my 2-band Thäter brush to arrive, might as well kick my feet up, pour myself a drink (or two ), light a cigar and use my 3-band, which whips up lather like nothing else, be it soap, creme or anything in between. She did wonderfully well with the Cade combo...And the Cade scent? Ohhhh that intoxicating scent of Cade...it's seductive and captivating to say the least. It certainly reminded me of why I became a wetshaver. I am sporting a CBS face with absolutely zero irritation.

Have a WONDERFUL Wednesday gentlemen.
