Comments: I picked up the Rugby back when Jim at Eastern Smooth was running the special on the Kanayama strops. I figured a quasi-old rugger has got to own a Rugby razor. The original scales were plain black plastic, BORING. This needed to be kitted up in something a bit loud but still classy, like me ;p. So off she went to Max to be re-dressed in MK. I got her back on Sat and held off on shaving the last few days so I'd have some real growth for it to plow through. I'm very stoked on this razor and even more amazed that I'm only 1 Maxterpiece away from a 7 day set! I also want to thank Bill (legalbeagle). His REALLY informative post in the "Colognes of the Famous" got SWMBO to order me the L'Occitane Vetyver I used today

.Prep: Hot Shower / Very Hot Water Soak Razor: 5/8 Dame Stoddard & Kendall "Hub" razor Hones: 100/200 felt/3" Chestnut Strop Brush: 24mm Silvertip in American Ash Uber: RazoRock XXX AS: Alum Block & Jock Soap Tall Drink & OBR Sandalwood Edc: NA Result: Still shaving with this razor after honing it this week. I stropped the heck out of it, and it was plain old great! Smooth as silk and left me feeling NO sting from the ALum. The Jock Soap Tall Drink has a slight menthol scent to it, but it leaves you feeling very comfortable and soft. The OBR is one of my favorite scents to splash on. No Cologne necessary. I used my giant restaurant mixing bowl with my 6" Silvertip, and XXX makes a great lather once you get the water right. Today I managed to get the water right. This was one of my best shaves in a while, and I feel very gratified due to the effort involved in the learning curve honing. The extra stropping really pays off! The edge has actually gotten better than first off the stones.
Happy Shaving Men! Keep the Gear Coming!

Tally Ho Wedge-LaToja/D' Caraceni-DB 1.5-24MM Silvertip-John Varvatos ASB w/ Artisan Black Cologne
Fantastic shave today. I got to reading somthing Ryan posted and remembered I still had a smidge of the D Caraceni left. All gone now never to be replaced(damm why did they stop making this stuff?
) I mixed it with the LaToja and had the most perfect lather. Scent, volume, glide, cushion. Mixed it with the Tally Ho which is also an excellent shaver. 3 pass to bliss.....
a moment of silence for the passing of D Caraceni.....
