Thanked: 1072Neglected Razor Week
At the moment I have 18 shave ready razors in my rotation. When you tend to favour a handfull of razors and lately I've only been shaving 3 or 4 times a week, some of those razors can go months without getting out for a run.
So my next few shaves will be with those razors who have not seen enough action lately.
Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Strop: Osgar Vintage Shell Horse
Brush: Franks Finest Badger
Cream: TOBS Lemon & Lime
Razor: Unknown Sheffield Wedge 6/8
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel
Balm: C.O. Bigelow Mentha
A/S: Old Spice
The TOBS was another sample Rene sent me recently, and I really like this one. It will go on the list of creams to order one day.
The razor has only recently been honed and performed beautifully. A great 3 pass BBS.
Have a great week gentlemen, and thanks for all the great posts and pics.

This arrived yesterday from Max. Spectacular shave with a piece of art. I think my RAD is done for a while.
Enjoy the day.

That looks like a serious razor, Jeff! Nicely done and if it's anything close to my Max Sprecher razor (wich I think it is) it's one helluva razor!
