Pre-Shave: A shower Brush: TOBS Super Badger Razor: Tim Zowada Damascus Custom, 5/8. Strop: Kanayama #90000, tri strop Soap/Cream:Floris Elite SS Scuttle:Schwarzweisskeramik, Large White Astringent: Osma Alum, rinse, Thayer's Medicated SuperHazel After shave Balm: Floris Elite EdT: Floris Elite Results: A fine finish to this week's SOTD. This Zowada is a 5/8, a bit smaller than my average razors, but I really do like shaving with it. As is always the case with TZ, the steel takes a great edge. Floris has become a regular in my rotation, I don't quite see why it appears to get so little attention around here. It really is Good, Good stuff.

Killer Saturday morning shave. I gave the BB a little touchup on my "C12K" and this cheap Chinastone keeps impressing, awesome finisher. I'd sell my cotis before this one!
