Two days growth wiped out in two pass shave, minor touch up, still keeping the small goatee, dont know what it is lately but I cannot win a single straight razor on the bay, even though the ones i'm looking at, need some work they seem to be going for way above what they are worth, well the people buying them must start to slow up before long, allowing poor me to get hold of a few

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Le Tuft - horn, abalone and Simpson knot
Razor: Bocker, Griplus
Soap: MdC
AS: Williams, Aqua Velva

Such a nice blade, but you got to be careful, she's got temprament


... and som pitch dark, earthy and strong:

Pre-Shave: A warm shower.

Brush: Simpson persian jar 2, Super Badger

Razor: Otto Deutsch's Hans. 6/8

Strop: Kanayama #90000, tri strop Cordovan shell.

Soap/Cream: Acqua di Parma Colonia

Scuttle:Schwarzweisskeramik, Large White

Astringent: Osma Alum, Thayers Super Hazel

EdT: Acqua di Parma Colonia

Results: A fine shave in the AM. I love the AdP products. Very nice performance, and great scent too. The Deutsch razor performs well, a 6/8 Solingen is usually not my cup of tea, but in honesty, there was nothing wrong with the performance on this one
