Thread: Sun January 01st - Sat January 07th

An indulgent, Saturday morning experience:

Hot shower
Proraso from the tube
Unknown badger
KROPP 6/8
20 laps linen; 60 leather
Lucky Tiger menthol (feel the burn)
C.O. Bigelow a/s

Honestly, I think this may have been the finest straight shave I've had.

P.S.

I do have a nice Otto Busch Weltmeister in the collection that wears a fine set of Maximillian custom scales. However, it's not yet been honed up and made ready to shave, so I can't do a Max shave for his special occasion. (It's the thought that counts, right?)

Maximillian, I've not met or corresponded with you, but I sure admire your creations!

Happy Birthday Max
Felicidades amigo

Veiga 7/8, restored & rescaled by Maximilian
Ambrose Spanish Horse (25/50)
Plisson #14 Haute Montagne
JabonMan "Brisa de Oriente" SS
Czech&Speake Frankincense&Myhrr EdT




The Veiga keeps the edge given by Max, unfortunately, very much better than my edges,....Pleasant and close shave

Jabonman is a spanish artisan who's is starting to make soft soaps, and with succes I must say. A picture of the lather

Not the best shave this time, but it happens. This brush works better face lathering and preffers soaps than shaving creams. The after dosen't match the EdT... smell dissaster.
