You're right and I've now corrected my errors (this one was for you as well, Jacket)

New Year Shave:

Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Frank Shaving finest badger
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Scuttle: Robert Becker large
Razor: John Barber, 5/8 wedge
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: Cedar Spice Splash, with a cedar/frankinsence base followed by cardamom and cloves, a light floral note and a fresh citrus top
Notes: What a great shave to set off the new year. Freshed up the edge a little, smooth and comfortable BBS shave. The suds were great as always, the splash is fairly new and a great finish to a perfect shave.



All the best guys, and a Very Merry

I turned on the TV and the Vienna New Year Concert was on. I turned the sound loud enough to reach my bathroom.

The gear:

Old Spice shaving soap puck
Semogue LE 2011 Finest Badger size 1 #1
Charlex 60 straight razor
Old Spice aftershave splash
444 aftershave balm

The result:

What a great way to start the new year.

Happy 2012 everyone!

Razor: Le Grelot 6/8
Soap: Irisch Moos
Brush: Semogue
A/S: Thayer's and Acca Kappa 1869

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!

Sunday, January 1, 2012. Good Morning!

Morning Coffee: Hills Brothers Original Blend
Prep: Wash face with Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Schick G1
Blade: Schick
Soap: GFT Limes
Brush: Simpsons Duke 2
Scuttle: Dirty Bird 1.5
Post: Cold water rinse followed by some Pitralon Classic

Razor – Mizuochi-san Iwasaki kamisori
Brush – SABA
Soap – Kiss my Face, Cool mint
AST – Dickinson Witch hazel
Talcum – Caswell Massey, Jockey Club w/ Hess Barber brush

I had not used this one in a while and there has been some discussion regarding these types of blades. I know some guy’s do not like the small razors and that’s OK. If you ever have the opportunity to try one of these they are incredible shavers with a properly tuned edge. Very close and irritation free shave. This particular model is the Mizuochi-san Swedish laminate version. A great way to start off the year.. Happy New Year!
