Wednesday - Hump Day Shave
Today's setup:
Dovo 6/8 Best Quality (15 webbing / 50 leather)
Badger brush
L'Occitane de Provence Cade shave soap
Thayer's
Aqua Velva Original Sport (green one)
Nivea Sensitive ASB
Bigelow Green cologne
I have to say, I am LOVING this.... the straight razor shave beats anything I ever got from a DE, with less irritation. Its still a slow(er) process for me, compared to a DE shave, but the results are worth it.
The Cade soap is, in my opinion, one of the best out there - excellent, slcik lather, and the scent is terrific.
Have a good day, gents.

Quick Shave, off to the Wife's Office party. Not really in the festive mood. I had to buy pants 3 sizes too big so I can be comfortable. The surgical sites are still not totally healed, so big pants and suspenders are in order.

Weds, Dec 13
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap/Creme: Cella
Razor:Gem 1912
Blade: Whatever it is that they Sell at Walgreens
Pre: hot towel
Post: alum plus witch hazel
Hair Groom: Jeris w/ oil
Result: It has been a while since I pulled out my SE razor, but I got one of the closest shaves I've ever had with it. The downside is that the combination of being a bit out of practice with it and my having had a rougher than usual shave yesterday meant that, while it was BBS, it also has left me a bit raw, hence the alum block and witch hazel, instead of my currently preferred lilac vegetal splashes. Still, it was amazingly close shave, and nothing is quite like the sound a 1912 makes when it mows down whiskers.

Jeltz, This is the first Gold Dollar I have ever seen!!!! I have heard that they are a mother to hone, and takes a real expert to be able to get an edge on them. Did you hone it yourself? Who honed it if not?

Anyway, Great Shave!!

Golddollars are not to bad to bad to hone. Problem its a crap shoot if you get a good one or not. Iwas lucky toget a few good ones. Robert has G&F. If you having a prob setting a bevel.it could be the stone your using or just needs nore time.
Penty of people you can always send it to.h
