TOBS Sandalwood cream-Omega 10048 brush-M. George & Son razor (11/16 Wedge)- Thayer's cucumber witch hazel, Ogalolla Bay Rum + cedar & sage AS.
Such a sweet little shaver. Pinklather worked some magic on that edge for me and it's my ninja beard assassin. Shaves smooth ATG on the cheeks every time.


Sorry about the cell phone pic but the camera is packed for the Mennonite relief sale tomorrow morning.

Congrats on your 3 pass shave Carl. Enjoy your holiday

Yesterday we were in the City of Glauchau. It was the so- called "Star-Night". Most of the shops were open.
Once again the Gospel-chorus "Sisters in action" gave a concert.




These are pictures of another concert in 2009.

I've picked up a 2nd on ebay that I'm restoring now and another spare blade without (unfortunately) those awesome scales.

Hi tumtatty,

The Hans is just a wonderful razor. One of my favorites as well. Glad to hear you have a back up for your back up!

Pre-Shave: A shower

Brush: D.R.Harris Silver-tip

Razor: Charlie Lewis, 8/8 Custom frameback

Honing Regimen: I did a couple swipes on my small Oozuku today, followed by 10 swipes on a CrO pasted cotton strop

Strop: SRD Cotton strop, followed by the Kanayama #90000 tri strop

Soap/Cream: D.R.Harris, Arlington SS

Scuttle:Schwarzweisskeramik, Large White

Astringent: Osma Alum, rinse, Thayer's Medicated SuperHazel

After shave Balm: D.R.Harris, Arlington

EdT: D.R.Harris, Arlington

Results: I spent a little extra time in the shave cave today. I usually don't do both my face and head with the same tool, but today I wanted to see how that would go on a freshly touched up razor. I'm happy to say that the CL did the entire job effortlessly. 2 complete passes on my face and 2/3 on my entire head. And now I smell, and look, like a million $$

******************************

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Neep, xtra stuffed 26 mm silvertip in soapstone
Razor: Wade and Butcher
Super lather: Dr Harris Almond + ARKO cream

I'm so happy I found this razor (antique shop find), it has everything a classic Sheffield wedgy blade should have + scales're to die for (in my eyes). Mr Neeps brush keeps growing on me aswell, I think it's broken in now and it's such a luxuarious feeling to crush this baby to my chops
