    Thumbs up Sun February 5th - Sat February 11th


    Location: 36° 0'5"N - 115° 15' 21"W
    Razor: Wade & Butcher 'Celebrated Fine India Steel'
    Brush: C2 - 2 band
    Soap: Irisch Moos
    Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel
    AS: Booster Mosswood

    I had just honed up this W&B today so I took it for a full test shave. Needless to say it was extremely smooth and mowed away several days of beard growth like a walk in the park. I'm usually not a big fan of heavier grinds but when I'm sporting a serious beard those heavy grind razors do perform flawless. The Irisch Moos produces tons of slick tallow lather and the scent is extremely refreshing. One of my favorite soaps. I usually will produce lather straight from the stick with my brush and continue lathering up on my face. Works extremely well with the C2 brush which has a nice stiff backbone to it. Really nice combo with Booster's Mosswood which unfortunately doesn't linger very long but the first few minutes deliver an awesome refreshing splash. I definitely enjoyed my SOTD.

    Gents. A superb new week and may the best win the Super Bowl 2012.

    Its been raining for 2 weeks here, but today the sun finally came out and gave us a hot Aussie summer day.
    The Proraso, Bigelow combo is a favorite at the end of a hot day for me, and the W&B was a great choice to take on the 4 day growth.
    2 and a half passes and I'm smooth as a catfish's belly.
