Thanked: 1072Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Strop: Osgar Vintage Shell Horse
Soap: Nancy Boy Signature
Razor: Puma 1938 11/16
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel
Balm: C.O. Bigelow Mentha
A/S: Old Spice
I received this lovely Puma from Rene last week. Tonight I decided to throw it in the deep end and put it up against 5 days of growth.
Very happy to say it passes with flying colours. 3 passes later and I'm squeaky clean and smooth as a baby's butt.
Rene also threw in a bunch of soap and cream samples, the Nancy Boy is the first one I've tried and I like it a lot,(Thank you Rene) and after a hot long day I had to use the Bigelow balm for that icy cold feeling. Its going to get a lot of use over the coming summer.
An awesome shave, its great to feel civilized again.
Thanks for all the great posts and pics gentlemen.

This Pure Foods, Cincinnati razor that I recently ePayed is likely the thinnest blade I have ever owned. I ran it through the stones and after shaving with it I think it may be too sharp. I'll see how it does on successive shaves.

Thayers Lavender | Sabon | Sigilli Ferfæn
An incredible way to start the week. I hadn't shaved since Wednesday, but the diminutive little Suzumasa "Solgen" Japanese blade had no clue! Fresh off the hones, its buttery smooth deftly edge slid under the hairs and left me nearly BBS after the first pass. Of course, it was helped tremendously by an überlather like no other. The combination of the MdC and this super luxurious Bomb was simply divine both in smell and performance. My week is starting out with a flourish, I wish all of you the same!He saw a lawyer killing a viper on a dunghill hard by his own stable; And the Devil smiled, for it put him in mind of Cain and his brother Abel.
