Sorry to hear about the cut, Glenn, but I'm sure you'll come back in style!

Good Morning Gentlemen

I hope you all had a good weekend

Today
Prep: Green tea with Orange, then Shower
Strop: SRD Premium 1 Leather, 30,70.
Brush: Muhle Pure Badger
Soap: Proraso
Razor: Dovo 6/8" Pearlex
Finish: Allume Di Rocca Naturale
EDC: Jo Malone 154 Cologne

Temperatures had started to drop slightly, but we were back up to 44˚C yesterday, hopefully it will cool off a bit soon.

It's great for drying off the razor, sadly the lather dries quickly too.

Anyway, good shave and great start to the day this morning.

Have a Great Week.

BELLISSIMO

I wanted to see how the experimental soap mix worked out all by itself, so didn’t use anything BUT the mix. The soap was a bit of a disappointment, it dissipated way too quickly; like the Windsor by itself. I didn’t really expect anything else!

Carl,
That certainly sounds like a good experiment, but sorry that it didn't quite cut the grass so to speak. Will there be tweaking of the mix to see how far you cn push it or is this where this ends?

Genco Easy Aces, 5/8 full hollow

Great shave with the Genco and nice work with the cable Jeff. I bet your "kid" 9as you call her) is on cloud 9, LOL

We sure missed you Glenn and ouuuchhh on the slice. How bad is it? Whatever you got planned for tomorrow is bound to be special.

Wonderful razor EA. I hope temps drop for you too so you can enjoy a lasting lather. Your shaves must be rushed over the summers

Cheers,

Monday morning.
Still preparing some activities for guest from our sister city. They will visit us this week.

My personal SOTD:
razor: Pearson
DE: Muehle
brush: Muehle
soap: Calani
AS: Brut

Have a successful week, friends!

Guys,
Enjoy this political cartoon by KAL. I'll have another one to share tomorrow

Tom,
I particularly thought of you (especially when you had mentioned that Germany sends all their money to Greece but get no razors in return .

I think I'll give up on the Windsor, it's a 'lemon' as we say here. I am interested to see what I can do with goat's milk soap, or sheep's milk soap, glycerin and essential oils. Probably not a lot, but it keeps me of the streets :-)

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Neep, The Cone with real coffee beans in the resin
Razor: Edv Neiström, no 52
Soap: MdC
AS: Fones, Malibu
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
My God, this was a sharp little wedgy blade! The Nick twins came by and visit (nothing serious though), Neil honed this blade and he must have finished on the Shapton GS 16k, one sharp and stiff blade this ... But I like it


... and this mornings coffee to go with the brush:

I liked my Sunday shave so much, that I just did a re-run.
A little bit faster today, but still sticky smooth.

Wow another ten minute weekend, they seem to come and go quicker all the time. A single pass shave was good enough, back to the salt mine I go.
