Nice razor there, first go today with this new blade, pretty evident feedback as it's hollow or extra hollow, I'm still no good to take a picture for you lot, the Polo 10 Two Band proves to be my new favorite brush and a phenomenal latherer, the Speick never fails to disappoint, the Chanel Allure Edition Blanche smells all the way from the bathroom to the kitchen (where our cook usually resides pre-lunch) as soon as I open the screw-in cap of the hard tube, and I do miss the closeness of the Feather SS (but not its 'Lexus' style approach to shaving...)

Thank you all for the fine post`s this Tuesday!

Started my day with some awakening stuff today because I went to work very early. Needed something to wake me up, so Proraso cream it was. Not that I have a wide selection of Straight`s, but my pick of the day become a Thiers-Issard 6/8 Historic with Snakewood scales. My best investment to date for sharpness, a Scrupleworks 3" strop paid me back with incredible smoothness in the blade, and as always, Shavemac two band in D01 quality raised my hairs just like a horror movie, hehe.

Three passes later, I was awake and clean as a baby butt, I must say that both the Proraso shaving cream and aftershave balm delivers very good quality for a very fair price.

Another great start of the day, shaving with Straight razors has actually made my life better to live!

Wish you all a great Tuesday Gentlemen.

This razor was an eBay gamble, the photo looked like it was rusted and awful. But the seller claimed it was quite nice, so I took the chance. I have to say it was surprisingly fine for a pre-1890 razor, and hollow ground was a nice surprise as well.
I didn't get the coti finishing exactly as smooth as I wanted to, but I'll take care of that.

Razor: C.V. Heljestrad frameback
Brush: Jade ad brass handled boar
Soap: Arko shave stick
AS: Thayers Lavender and Clubman original
Result: Finally back online!I have free community wi-fi and it's been down for over a week now. Great shave today from the Helji. This has been out of the rotation for awhile waiting on me to give it a good touch up. And as they say, the best comes to those who wait. I completely forgot how wonderful this razor shaves. Barely needed a second pass at all. The Arko, as always, was simply delightful.
