Cheers Robert! Well, you've got to have some fun ... Lol. She gets these bad dreadlocks, her fur is thick, thick, and then thick. She doesn't like the cutting, at all, but she purrs when she's walking around later and she can actually wash her self in a proper way.

The Genco was restored in all her glory by Glen. The Rudy Vey speaks for itself as does the Mama Bear and NancyBoy. I love the Barbershoppe scent. All around a fabulous, unhurried and enjoyable shave to commemorate this special day.

Have a PEACEFUL Sunday gentlemen. Be safe

Semogue Custom | MWF | Maxtom | Alum | Sabon | Sigilli Claudiae

Razor:Jones Mfg. Co.
Brush:Jade and brass handled boar
Soap:Arko shave stick
AS:Thayers Lavender and Clubman original
Result:Wonderful 2 pass shave with some of the softest American steel I've ever used. This is my second go with the Arko and I can see this becoming one of my go to soaps. Lathers easily with great cushion and glide.


NEVER FORGET

Prep: Two Mile Run, Cool Shower
Razor: 1908 Gillette Single Ring Old Style
Blade: Personna
Brush: VDH Boar
Soap: TSD English Fern
AS: Dickinson's Witch Hazel

Great Sunday dome and face shave!

Good evening Gentlemen!

Shave prep: Face wash
Brush:Soap: Palmolive cream / Palmolive stick / glycerine
Scuttle: Robert Becker large
Razor: Wade & Butcher, 5/8 wedge french point
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: Provence home made splash, herbs over lavender
Notes: I picked this razor specifically for today's shave after yesterday's misère, it is perhaps my softest edge. The lather provided good cushioning and enough glide that I could carefully work over last afternoons blunder, and I'm happy to say I managed to get a decent shave in. The light and refreshing herbaceous splash seemed perfect for this cool autumn afternoon.



Have a great week guys!

Locale:The Razors Lair

Music: Ted Nugent - Double Live Gonzo

prep: Hot shower / Shea Butter Soap / Virgin Oil Rub (lots)

Strop: Cnat 20 laps / Star Chestnut 25/100

Brush: Custom WillN Silvertip in Honey Locust

Uber: RazoRock Cacao / Glycerine

Razor: W. Bingham 'Kerry-Gow' 4/8 Wedge

Post: Ali Baliki Alum - Humphrey's Alcohol Free Face Toner

AS: Lucky Tiger Alcohol Free

EDT: Stetson

Result:3 days growth gone in a single pass!! This little guy was one of my first razors I restored. I kept it all original as my first wedge. Smooth as butter after 20 laps on the newly lapped PHIG. Prep for this shave on Sunday morning was what I imagine heaven must be like!! It took 1 1/2 hours to get out of the bathroom I was enjoying myself so much. Clean up with my Weishi DE was hardly necessary. No burn, rash or bumps this time!! Yay!

Happy Shaves!!!!

Mike
