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

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!

I'm enjoying seeing your knives this week Tom. I'm cleaning up an old knife that belonged to my Grandfather at the moment.
I'll include it in a photo when its finished.

One pass was all i needed. Amazing razor. I find these shave better than my Celebrated ones.

Have a great day!

Prep:"Insanity, Day 3" + Hot Shower
Strop:Fabric x 33, Latigo x 69
Razor:Dovo Best Quality 5/8
Brush:Unknown Pure Badger
Uber:MWF + Musgo + Glycerin
Post:RazoRock Alum + Nivea for Men Revitalizing
Result:2 passes to a DFS

This BQ has thrice now given me a great shave. I also love this brush as a switch from the Thater. Thick, creamy lather all the time. Oddly enough, I seem to have a touch of razor burn on the cheek... which is odd as I never get razor burn. Maybe in the rush, it didn't apply the balm thoroughly. Bonus for the day - my barber hones arrived, by DMT 8C arrived, and my newest addition (Dovo Flowing 6/8) will be here today

Happy Hump Day all!
