I will confirm what Mikael says, they are all gorgeous. I spent a few weeks with the Police in Sweden. I was assigned to a female officer who was just.....tall, blonde and gorgeous. I had a delightful stay to say the least.

Semogue 620 | MWF | Buerger's Pet | Alum | Sabon | ELDO Nombril Immense

Tues Jan 10
Brush: Vie-Long Boar
Soap/Creme: MWF
Razor: Shumate Barber followed by a Gillette Old
Blade: Astra Sp in the old.. I think.
Pre: Hot Towel
Post: Alum and Witch Hazel
Hair Groom: Gables Cream Oil
Result: The new little boar did great with the MWF, which was a good thing, since my straight razor skills aren't exactly first rate ( including my stropping skills, apparently, since the razor was a lot sharper the previous time I'd used it, despite my best efforts). Still, I managed 2 passes of reduction with it without any nicks. I finished up with a Gillette old, since it just felt right to use my oldest vintage DE razor to finish up a shave with my vintage straight.

Hot Shower
Pears Face Soap
Proraso Pre Shaving Cream
Merkur 1904 open comp
BigBen (Lord Made ) Blade SS (1st day )
Schwarzweisskeramik XL
Simpson Chubby 3 in Best Badger
MWF
Old Spice Lagoon
EJ Aloe Vera Balm

Good morning friends.
Today is Revisor-day.
No...I don't use the Recon-Tanto as a straightrazor!

Thanks very much, it's amazing how resilent a young human body is...

Wednesday

Normally I start off with a para about my mundane existence for background info, but I’m not going to do that today, as it really is just too mundane, so straight to the Shave Report:

The shave this morning was excellent. I’d honed the W&B as part of JaNorton and then, after shaving once or twice, did 10 laps on the 8k. It was superb; as good as you’d need it. I believe that, generally, I can confidently say that yes, I can hone (thanks to this site).

Squeeeeeeeezzzzzed out the very last of the Musgo Real (there may be ONE shave left). I do like Musgo, he does very well in the lathering department, and I like the smell too.



Be good, be healthy and be happy...

PS, anyone tried O Melhor cream (silly question, of course you have). What's it like?

Razor: Wade and Butcher Special (I LOVE this razor, so smooth)

Pre Shave: Proraso

Cream: Musgo Real

ASB: None

After Shave: Pinaud Clubman and Burberry ‘The Beat’ Eau de Toilette

The return of the prodigal shaver...

I've been busier than a one-armed paper hanger recently. Attended a professional conference in Chicago,
where I attended a dinner in honor of my former dissertation advisor and Civil War historian--James M. McPherson.
Then I had to prepare for the new semester.

Prep: Hot shower -- followed by Vitos pre-post-shave cream
SC: Irisch Moos
Brush: Rooney Style 3 Size 1 (Small) Faux Tortoise “Super Silvertip Badger”
Strop: VB Red Latigo 50 fabric; 60 leather
Razor: 5/8” F. W. Engels “Perfect Temper”
Toner: Thayers “Original” Witch Hazel w/ Aloe Vera
ASB: Anherb “Natural” After Shave Conditioner
AS: Irish Moos
Result: The Moos is on the loose!
