Good luck in the sack race

TGIF Shave (even though I'm working in the morning)
Strop: MickR's Roo Hide
Brush: Silvertip Badger
Soap: Martin de Candre
Razor: Geo Wostenholm 11/16
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel
Balm: Nivea Replenishing
A/S: David Craig Bay Rum
Another razor that doesn't come out enough.
Its been a while since I'd used the Wosty and I couldnt remember how the edge was. I wasn't sure if it would be up for the challenge of a 3 day growth.
It passed the test with flying colours. 2 relaxing passes with the outstanding MDC was a great way to end the week.

Have a great weekend gentlemen, and thanks for all the great posts and pics.
