Mikael,
congratulations to the "new" WB, it's very nice! ...but without coffee?
Cheers,
Béla

Nice catch, Mikael. Excellent condition.

SATURDAY
Razor: Atkins Bros true wedge 6/8

Cheers guys! It's not so new and it was restored in an excellent way by Mr Neil Miller - he worked magic on the scales, that looked like dried up and cracked bones from the start.

Soap/Cream: TOBS, Lavender Cream
Strop: Herold Razor Strop (Model 9185)
Straight Razor: Spike 5/8, Spike point

Comments: Spectacular shave. Great shave thanks to DU212 (¡Gracias José!)
Straight razor was dull and not shave ready. I had to hone her. I don’t have good experiences with honing and I didn’t have hopes to achieve with her. But I read some advices from DU 212 in a Spanish forum about one of his honing methods and I decided to follow it.
Yesterday I did it and the results are spectacular. I don’t have words to explain it. Heaven
Thanks José. Thanks so much Maestro!


Have a nice day, gents

Once again the Gospel-chorus "Sisters in action" gave a concert.
These are pictures of another concert in 2009.

Wowww Tom...You looked so different in 2009, LOOOOOOO. I had no idea you were into becoming a nun, LOOOL

In all seriousness, sounds like they were nothing short of perfect. Was this the choir from the sister city?

You know...I love that Castagnon. I always look forward to seeing it. Don't get me wrong, I like your other collection as well, but this one is special in my book...Until you get your Maxtom

PS; So, Yoda has been replaced, eh? Who's the new guy? What about the "sleeping" elephant? I guess he was narcoleptic and sleeping on the job, LOOOL.

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 $$

Beautiful gear today Birnando...I absolutely adore this setup bro. That CL is stunning and what better way to use her than with the Arlington.

Brush: check (I am also sold on Rod's craftsmanship...that thing just feels great on the face)
Razor: check (Beautiful find and great job by Neil)
Coffee: check...even I look forward to your coffee shots and I am not a coffee fan

But because it is such nice weather to the beach today and maybe a little bbq tonight.
But first i had to shave.... When i shave whit a D.E i will not be as smooth as whit a str8, so today again a str8 shave.

Kalerolf,
Awesome shave today my friend.
Nature is confused because she is a woman...what do you expect, LOOOOL (hope she's not listening)?
+1 on the DE versus Str8 shave...I also get a much smoother shave with a str8
Enjoy your day at the beach brother...before fall/winter rear their ugly heads

Angel,
That's what I like to hear. CONGRATULATIONS on your successful honing my friend...Doesn't it feel 400% more satisfying when you know you just shaved with an instrument on YOUR tuning? and kudos to José. He is one of the nicest guys you will find anywhere. The membership on SRP is just top notch
