Week of January 1 SOTD - Sunday
A BEAUTIFUL NEW YEAR SHAVE
Oooooops. Apparently, I had mistakenly posted this in last week's thread (Thanks Rene). I must have partied harder than I thought
Pre-Shave: Hot shower |
Brush: 28mm Rodney Neep Extra Stuffed Silvertip Badger |
Razor: 7/8" Akamatsu Manaslu M55 "Ltd. Ed", Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point |
Strop: 5/75 laps (Tony Miller Horsehide Heirloom strop) |
Lather: Al Raz Custom Bomb Shave Creme |
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol) |
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer |
After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Amber AS |
After Shave Balm: Al Raz "Lavender" ASB |
Cologne: Creed "Tabarome" EdT |
Results: Oh wowwww. What a beautiful shave to start 2012 http://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/...l/thumbsup.gif. The Manaslu hadn't seen much action as of late and a few refresh laps around the CrOx leather followed by stropping brought the edge back to lifehttp://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/...ys/001_wub.gif. Al's custom provided for some amazing lather...It just doesn't get any better than this. Loved every minute of this ritual:y. |
