Birthday Shave

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 30mm Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger

Razor: 8/8" Bismarck #6, Full Hollow Ground, Round Point (w/ Ivory Micarta scales + Ebony wedge)

Honing Regimen: Shapton Pros 1k, 2k, 5k, 10k + Maruichi Nakayama Kiita/Asagi Hybrid JNat w/ Tomonagura slurry, progressively diluted to water only.

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

Überlather: Jack Black "Macademia/Soy" Shave Creme + D.R. Harris "Arlington" Shave Soap + Glycerin

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

Moisturizer: D.R. Harris After Shave Milk

After Shave Splash: D.R. Harris "Arlington" AS

Cologne: D.R. Harris "Arlington" EdT

Results: This (rare) Bismarck, dressed in Ivory Micarta, is yet another one of those scores I was lucky enough to make from a member. She arrived the same day as the W&B I featured yesterday. She was shave ready, but reset the bevel with tape and took her through the same regimen as my W&B. She took an amazing edge in no time. Test hairs (courtesy of my wife...Thank you honey ) barely had a chance to touch her edge before popping. This morning, I coupled her with the Arlington line of software and M&F brush. Another rewarding shave. Now, I am ready to face my students and torture them with a 3 hour lecture on Application of Advanced Molecular Techniques in Pathology. Uurrghhh!!! It's going to be a long day .

Have an FANTABULOUS Wednesday gentlemen .
