Tons of lather from the Body Shop Macca Root cream, a cool buzz from the Proraso Pre-Shave and a burn free splash of Thayers to round things off, smooth in three.

Have a great week gentlemen!

Good luck with your move. I really think you should sent that razor to me for safe keeping in you move. Wouldnt want anything to happen to her. She is a beauty.

Razor – Japanese Western, Tamahagane
Brush – Semouge boar
Soap – Cella
AST – ALUM & Dickinson witch hazel
Good morning;
I am testing out a couple blades before they go home to new owners. Finished up with my beautiful Japanese Tamahagane western grind. Max did his magic with the horn scales on this one and it is a perfect match. A truly one of a kind razor. I am spoiled by the shave. The origami ball is from Mr. Akira Yamashita. Have a great week all.
Mike

Prep: Hot Shower, Musgo Real Glyce Lime Oil Soap
Strop: Dovo Russian 2"
Brush: Muhle badger
Soap/Cream: Unidentifiable English Soap
Razor: Wade & Butcher 7/8" Smiling wedge
Aftershave: Edwin Jagger (Sea Buckhorn)
Speaker: Bowers & Wilkins 805S (background)



Note: Had a 2 day growth and the W&B decimated any whisker it come in contact with. I get such pleasure mowing several days worth of beard.

Great job as always guys on the pics.

AN OSCAR WORTHY SHAVE

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: 23mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger

Maxterpiece: 6/8" Wyeth "Trade Mark Warranted", 1/2 hollow (stiff) ground, Round Point (w/ Bone Linen Micarta scales + Black Paper Micarta wedge)

Honing (Refresh): 5 laps on CrOx leather

Strop: 5/45/70 laps (Torolf Linen / SRD Premium IV English Bridle leather / Ambrose Horsehide ClÃsico leather)

Soapreme: RazoRock "Ltd. Ed." Shave Creme + Mama Bear's "Almond" Shave Soap + Glycerin

Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose, no alcohol)

After Shave Splash: Proraso AS

Cologne: Acca Kappa "1869" EdT

After Shave Balm: eShave "Almond" ASB

Results: Both wife and I have been sporting a cold for a few days now , but it seems like it's the tail end of the viral life cycle. This was written on the walls; running hard for a few months and being bombarded and exposed to "sick" people will test anyone's immune system. THE BAD: we have quarantined ourselves and will not be seeing family this week. THE GOOD: This shave was fabulously refreshing. Despite a stiffer grind, this Wyeth is a terrific performer and she can certainly hold a fantastic edge. Loved the über I made with RR & MB combo. Smoooth and BBS and ready for the Oscar's tonight (Go Billy).

Have an FABULOUS week ahead gentlemen .

Sunday always seems to bring the best out of everyone. It's razor porn at its best!

I'm off to a recovery from last night's party. 32 Belgians together around an abundance of imported Palm and Stella flowing through a beer tap. Not to mention the Belgian endive wrapped in ham with cheese au gratin we had for diner.

Prep: 3 mile run, lukewarm shower
Razor: Torrey Barber Tip
Brush: Semogue 2000
Soap: TSD Iced Sub-Zero
AS: Aqua Velva Classic

All the face freezing goodness I remember from the Iced Sub-zero. After the cold water rinse, my face was thoroughly frostbitten.
