Thread: Sun December 18th - Sat December 24rd

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: Simpson Chubby 1

Razor: Revisor 13/16

Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/English Bridle

Soap: Scottish Fine Classic Male Grooming Shave Soap

After shave: D.R. Harris Sandalwood

Results: Found this soap in a local store today, the scent is quite nice, but I'm not convinced about it's performance after first try, need to test it some more, maybe I didn't get the product/water ratio right? Other than that the shave was quite nice, the Revisor is a great razor, I could probably have a dry face and still get a good shave from it.

I wasn't going to post today because I've been somewhat busy, but I had my first BBS shave with just a straight this morning so I just had to share!

Pre: Hot shower
Brush: Thäter 4292/5 Two band
Lather: Fitjar Norwegian Fern
Razor: Almond 888
PSA: Thayers WH Toner
PSB: Pre deProvence Shea Butter ASB
AS: Homebrew Vetyver


This Japanese Almond 13/16 razor is such a pleasure to use. Sometimes with a good blade you can get an extremely close shave and sometimes you can get an extremely comfortable shave but rarely do you get extremes of closeness and comfort at same time. This razor does it every time and seemingly with no effort. The Thäter also performed flawlessly in applying the Fitjar. Just thinking about the experience gives me a tingle up my leg!

Went to my barber-Frank-for shave today: lost count at 10 hot towels-sweeeeet and smooooooth.
He used Proraso and told me he was confused when he first saw Proraso soap/cream as it
was first a pre-shave. Pro=pre, Raso=lather. Great tidbit.

Tues, Dec 20
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap/Creme: Cella
Razor:Gillette Old
Blade: Astra SS
Pre: Shower&glycerin soap wash
Post: Witch hazel
Hair Groom: Clubman Conditioning Shampoo
Result: WOW! I will admit that putting a fresh blade in a gillette old, doing good prep, and using boar+ Cella for lather is stacking the deck, but this was my first shave with an Astra SS. I've used and been very fond of their SP, but the only word for the Astra SS is WOW. I got nearly BBS without even trying. The Astra SS felt like it cut my whiskers better even than a feather. the Clubman seemed to do a great ob on my hair, as well. I didn't even use anything else it was so stellar.
