Brush: C2 2 band

Last weeks shaving was so amazing I decided to take the Baltic Cutlery Co. for another spin. And again it didn't disappoint. It's really one of a kind. 50 laps on leather and she was all ready to go. This time I used the refreshing Proraso cream and Aqua Velva balm. WooHoo. Refreshing indeed.
We finally had a few drops of rain today. Hadn't seen any rain since December 18th, Unfortunately not enough, However we are having gusty winds up to 60mph. Still going on as I type.
Gents. keep up the excellent SOTD's!

Results: Today's shave was with a Maxterpiece W&B, recently featured in the February issue of VRATED magazine (VRATED.COM) http://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/...l/thumbsup.gif. Congratulations Max and I must say that it is an honor to own such a "Famous" piece of art :bow. The shave was absolutely divine, especially when combined with mounds of the super delicious Lavender-scented überlather:y. Despite her heavy wedginess, this razor provided a super close and comfortable shave that rivals her hollower cousins. I am ready for a beautiful, family filled Sunday and some projects in preparation for a super busy work week. |
