Wednesday

Razor: Dovo Best Quality 6/8
Brush: Altesse Badger
Soap: Col. Conk Lime
A/S: Booster Iced Limes & Royall Lyme

Very nice shave with the straight today. I substituted the witch hazel I usually use right before the A/S with Booster Iced Limes today because I like the way it makes my skin feel, and it works wonderfully well under the Royall Lyme (Booster scents do not stay around on my skin very long).

Wednesday:

Shumate 5/8
EJ Best
Valobra Stick
Witch Hazel
Nivea Sensitive Balm
Avon Wild Country Cologne NOS

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 26mm Rudy Vey TGN Grade A Silvertip Badger w/ Kingwood handle

Razor: 15/16" Filarmonica "Doble Temple" #14, Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point

Honing (Refresh) regimen: 5 (light) laps on CrOx treated Premium IV Bridle leather

Strop: 0/60 laps (Tony Miller Heilroom Horse hide linen/leather)

Soapreme: Martin de Candre Shave Soap + Glycerin

Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)

After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS

After Shave Balm: Martin de Candre Oil of Coprah

Cologne: Martin de Candre "Eau de Lavende" EdT

Results: Spectacular shave with the Filarmonica and the MdC lineup. I also got my lovely TM strop yesterday (has quite the draw). It gave the Fili quite a nice finish after the CrOx run. I cannot think of a better way to spend my "Me" time in the man cave. But time does fly when you're having fun. I felt cheated somewhat - this exercise was over before it began. Nevertheless, I am sporting a smooth and zero irritation face.

I miss being fully engaged with you guys, but I see the light at the end of the tunnel (soon, real soon). Have an AMAZING Wednesday gentlemen.

Cheers Michael! Besides being very good looking, she shaved like a dream too, I truly didn't think a modern razor could be this good!

Thank you Konstantinos, I'm a very happy Maxtom owner!

I'm sorry for the things your country's going through now and I hope it gets better asap (sooner rather than later even though it looks dark for the nearest future)!
