Love the Lagerfeld, Obie! I have a bottle stashed in a box...now if I can only find that box!

Hello Joe,
Yes, the Lagerfeld Classic is a delight. I have a little bit left in the bottle and try to savor it. Good stuff.

Nice Rene!

Pre-Shave: Hot towels

Brush: Simpson Chubby 1

Razor: Brian Brown 8/8

Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/Kanayama Cordovan

Soap: Palmolive Stick

After shave: Aqua Velva

Results: Having a fever, running nose and a terrible headache the last few days I haven't had the energy for shaving. Feeling a bit better today, and with four days of growth in serious need of a shave, the heavy BB cut down the beard smooth and easily, two slow comfortable passes gave a perfect BBS and made me feel even better.

Good evening friends!

Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Haryali badger
Soap: Crabtree & Evelyn, Nomad
Scuttle: Robert Becker large
Razor: John Barber, 5/8 wedge, touched up on a welsh dark green/grey black slate.
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: English leather, home brewed
Notes: English leather, fit for a king. Well, made for a king, in fact. Tonight's shave would be as well, I am sure. I absolutely love this razor, shaves like a dream, and it probably would have been available under the reign of the same king (he held the throne till 1820). 1 comfortable pass to BBS.



Midweek already, good stuff. Keep up the postings, love seeing them!

Prep Hot shower and lather pre-shave
Soap VDH, Glyc & Baby Oil
Razor Wade & Butcher BOW razor
Brush VDH boar Brush
Mug(s) VDH Mug and "Pick Me Up" Big mug
AS Wild Country
Back up Razor Twinworks Henckels

Today I switched some things around, First off I used My W&B Bow and had the Twin as Back up. I also added a few drops of Baby oil to My Lather and it came out nice. I did use a candle warmer for the heat not the burner in the pic. I need to find a small dish to hold some water and either My small or Big Mug in. I might even go over to the antique store(s) and see what I can find..

Note: To the nubies, This shave took Me 45minutes, Yes I know most do take that long and some may even take longer.. The Point is, Going Slow makes the Shave of the day feel So Much Better...

Thäter 2011 SRP Bulb / Mystic Water Lime Lavender / Robeson ShurEdge / 444 ASB / Jovan Musk Oil A/S

Prep: Hot Shower, Musgo Real Glyce Lime Oil Soap
Strop: Lipshaw Microtome
Brush: Vulfix Badger
Soap/Cream: No named English shaving soap
Razor: Thiers Issard 7/8" Le Thiernois
Aftershave: Clubman



Note: The shave went real well, but I always have trouble stropping this blade. With its smooth slick burl wood the highly polished tang and the deep thumb notch it constantly wants to spin in my hand when I flip the blade during stroping. I really have to concentrate and slow my stropping.

Where did George Brett keep his pine tar?
