    Strop: MickR's Roo Hide
    Brush: Silvertip Badger
    Soap: Proraso
    Razor: Wade & Butcher For Barbers Only
    Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel
    Balm: Nivea Replenishing
    A/S: Old Spice
    I had the hones out today so I decided to give the Wade & Butcher a few laps to deal with my 4 days of beard growth.
    The W&B laughed at the challenge! 4 days of growth wiped away without hesitation.
    Got a little lazy and only did 2 passes tonight, so not quite BBS, but I'm lookin' good and feeling great after that shave.

    Thursday 12-8-11
    Prep: Hot Shower/ Proraso pre-post creme
    Brush: AOS Pure Badger
    Soap: L'Occitane CADE / AOS Unscented SC / Glycerin Uber
    Razor: 13/16" Wade & Butcher Hollow ground
    Post: Proraso AS / AOS ASB unscented
    Result: Sheffield smooth! This is my first Sheffield blade and I can see why everyone loves them. The first time I used it was good, but I felt the edge could be pushed a bit further. After watching Glens (gsixgun) video on the Norton 4/8K stones, I took it back to the hones and Voila! buttery smooth and a great shave!

    Have a Great Thursday Gents!
