Tuesday
A nice two pass (WTG and ATG) shave. I’m really getting into this more than one pass thing, though it’s increased my shave time; it took me thirteen minutes this morning from ‘go to whoa’ as they say...
The W&B is a very ‘forgiving’ razor; as smooth as silk as always.
Music of the morning shave was ‘Fistful of Mercy’. Check them out if you haven’t heard them; Joseph Arthur, Ben Harper & Dhani Harrison (George Harrison’s son). Cool stuff, great shaving music...
PS, I like the way this photo turned out, it's not 'photo shopped' in any way (other than cropping), just the tiniest bit of contrast and brightness adjustment. I took it against the background of the dining room window on the dining room table. I generally don't like any photo shopping work, being 'normally' a user of Medium Format Vintage film cameras.
Razor: Wade and Butcher, Custom Canadian Maple scales by Maxi Pre Shave: Proraso Cream: La Toja ASB: Witch Hazel After Shave: Pinaud Clubman Music of the Morning: Fistful of Mercy, ‘As I Call You Down’

I love the look of that razor, gotta Google it! I desire one...
[EDIT] Sorry, I know I'm sort of gushing now like a love-struck young girl; "valuing the giddy pleasure of the eyes" (that's a Tennyson quote), but I like everything about that photo; it's all so vintage and cool.
Well done! Seriously! Well done!

Fantastic shave BBS two days growth wiped out by the Feather, two pass shave minor touch up, this is such a lovely razor to use very comfortable even with my weak hand I seem to have very good control of this razor, before I purchased this razor I didn't really have any kind of expections of how it would perform, but it's certainly surprised me if i'm honest.

I've started doing that (I read about it here somewhere); lathering the leftovers on my face while I dry and strop the razor (10/10), wash the bowl, etc. May as well use the stuff, it's got to be more beneficial to my face than the drain :-)

OK. Sorry. That's just weird (the pic). But GOOD weird. Like Andy Warhol weird. Depends on the buying public I guess....I mean, Picaso. You can't tell me he wasn't weird...
...I might visit the art gallery on the weekend...
